This is a confusing column. The toilet has its funding yanked but then is somehow built anyway at a lower price. And then someone donates toilet and labour and somehow that one costs more Anyway, main takeaway is that public toilets are deucedly expensive nytimes.com/2024/04/28/opi…

Was in Etobicoke last weekend and happened by the yards at Judson. Guessing this loco is part of Via’s new Siemens rolling stock. Apparently they can do 200 km/hr — which is kind of a sick joke if you know anything about Via operations. #railfan

Do I really want to read 700 pages on the Attica prison uprising?
Breaking: B.C. has banned all illicit drug use - except inside people’s homes, drug checking sites or supervised consumption sites - rolling back its decriminalization pilot project after significant criticism from mayors, provincial and federal conservative politicians. #bcpoli
The whole "can't raise families in apartments" discourse really amazes me. Families being raised in apartments is not a new phenomenon. But a big chunk of the political class literally can't wrap their minds around it ... which tells you a lot about the political class.

I disagree. The most disappointing attraction in Toronto is :the Leafs. 🤣
Inbox: Toronto ranks second most over-rated city in the world. Based on tourist reviews online, 16.8pc were disappointed. This puts the city closely behind Bangkok (18.4pc) -- which does make one question the methodology Most disappointing attraction in Toronto: the CN Tower
I’m actually surprised at this bc I visited Toronto just once (earlier this month) and I loved it so much that I’m now actively applying to jobs there so I can eventually move there

Whoa whoa whoa, what’s so disappointing about Bangkok? I’ve been there and that city was fucking wicked.

The single biggest drawback is that so much Toronto tourism focuses on the antiseptic CN Tower/Harbour Castle axis, when the best stuff in the city (Kensington Market, Queen West, various beaches) is a ring or two outside of that

@moore_oliver thank you for live tweeting the whole arc
Toronto is just a better city to live in than it is to visit. Truthfully (at the risk of pissing people off) I basically do not recommend it to would-be tourists. Montreal is the opposite, living there is kind of disappointing compared to its top-tier status for tourism.

@moore_oliver The very central parts of our city are among the more boring and soulless (Financial District and Southcore). For a tourist who doesn't have a good local guide (ie not their cousin from the 905), it would be easy to get stuck in these areas and not venture out to fun/cool places
@moore_oliver @TorontoDDG Blues and Greys? Hey I remember watching a multipart PBS miniseries about a war where these were the colours by the opposing sides. Let’s look up what the grey team was fighting for… … oh, dear god.
@moore_oliver LOL, like I said, I was being annoyingly pedantic. I’m actually booked for my first trip on a Charger/Venture set next weekend. Really looking forward to being on board the new trains for the first time.
Bringing back some memorable side characters as the series finale approaches
Russian mercenaries are in "hot pursuit" of the notorious warlord Joseph Kony, after a bloody near-capture in a remote corner of the Central African Republic earlier this month, sources tell Rolling Stone. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
@AlexanderGlista @moore_oliver One is sure to feel the difference between being hit by a train moving 177/km and 200/km per hour
@moore_oliver “We’ll hit 200km a hour between pull-overs for freight trains!”
@moore_oliver I got to ride one last weekend. We topped out at 155. But the inside is pretty great! And you're apparently allowed to bring a bike on. But I don't know how that works exactly...
@moore_oliver Although they do clarify in the next tweet that the police shooting protesters should be private.
"You can't raise families in apartments" discourse almost makes me as crazy as "you can't exist taking public transit" discourse. You *absolutely* can. Millions of ppl do it every, single, day. Some ppl live in an apartment with family *and* use transit! x.com/moore_oliver/s…
You know those condo towers where people say you can't raise a family? In Toronto, Spadina-Fort York's population rose much more than in any other ward from 2016 through 2021, and nearly 10pc of the increase was kids under 15
@moore_oliver Also it's the most suburban neighbourhoods that lost the most children 🙃
If tourists are a heavy burden on city services, it’s only fair that they contribute to them. Venice is special, and it must be preserved.
This is a funny line.. "she didn’t think that people should have to pay for the privilege of seeing a 'beautiful city that everyone wants to visit,” she said'." It contains within it the very reason for the fee she doesn't want to pay nytimes.com/2024/04/25/wor…
