There are excellent climate related reasons to get rid of diesel busses entirely, sure. And to prefer even the buses to cars. But I don't think that's what's going to happen. The post-Harris-slow-descent-into-madness TTC exists to punish the poor for being poor more than it exists to move people around. It doesn't know how to be a transit system anymore.
So I will hope for the subway AND the drainage fixes downtown.
My expectation is that the Ford government will stay anti-mandate; it's a core right wing touchstone now. Dougie has not lost his political ambitions. At best, we'll get something mostly useless like the sick days.
Me, I want smallpox rules for COVID vaccinations. If we do get a federal election and a solid liberal majority hopefully we'll get that.
