      The Feds and Province already provide about $900M annual subsidy to TTC. The city kicks in about $50M.
      Recently, Doug Ford invested $11.2B to help fund The Ontario Line, Scarborough Subway, Yonge Extension & Eglinton Extension.
      Meanwhile Chow eagerly spends $5.2B to rename Dundas St, $12.7M to rename Dundas Square, and $10M to add 25km of bike lanes in the west end.

    I see many young people avoiding the ticket when entering through the back door, but they carry boxes of pizza, or milkshakes, or use headphones or expensive cell phones, perhaps they do not understand that we all collaborate so that this society continues to function in the best possible way.
    I think the best solution might be to restrict the back door to only exit, using a one-way revolving door.

    • @tonyespinola2896
      @tonyespinola2896 8 месяцев назад

      First off, that is not at all what Pierre said. He said Toronto takes it taxes and nust hires more beaurocrats. Toronto has worse beaurocracy than Vancouver when it comes to building housing.
      Secondly, i guarantee you at least 90% of fare evaders are either NDP or Liberal voters, aka those who love to virtue signal how much they care about something, while they sacrifice nothing for what they supposedly care for.
      Lastly, your rhetoric on the Freedom convoy proves the above point. Let me remind you the LONG struggles of western civilization to construct a government entity that works for we the people, not the other way around. When it came to vaccine mandates, that was a government telling us that we the peolem had 2 choices. Either take the vaccine or starve to death. And who was it exactly that was reporting on the authorities when there were those that dared to have social gatherings without "social distancing" or wearing masks? Oh riiiiijght, the same "virtue signalling" bunch that showed up to said freedom protests with nazi flags and what not in an attempt to pass off as said protestors to paint a false image of said protestors. The usual fascists on the left that speak of diversity and what not. But said diversity on the left only extends to the colour of one's skin and/or their genital interactions. But you better damn well be a white liberal on the inside or else.
      The same goes with way too many policies put in place by this government. For example, the Carbon taxes? Who voted for this 61 cent a litre carbon tax? And who voted for this to be increeased yet again.
      Oh, we have people like you who live in a city and take the TTC and have a grocery store within 5 minutes, thinking that your vote for Justin Trudeau should perfectly equate to the lives of those that run a business, run a farm who, for example, if they pay 10,000 in heating costs, they are paying similar in carbon taxes. And for what? A country that's responsible for 1.5% of the global man made C02? While China with just 17.5% of the global population is responsible for well over 30% of all man made C02? So either you are Chinese and relishing in Canada's self-destruction, or you are a liberal voter, aka stupid.
      Canada is at the bottom of G7 when it comes to GDP. Our GDP is on par with a country that could fit into Canada over 33 times. That country being Italy. We have 1 tenth of America's population, and yet our houses are more than twice as expensive on average. Explain the level of incompetence it takes to make the above a reality. I can, people with your fantasy land ideals being in charge of this country.
      Our country is over 2.32 trillion dollars in mortgage debt with our banks having less that 1% (one bank has 0.52%) in liquid assets. For the liberals that can't do math, its like me loaning you 1000 dollars while i have $5.20. We're basically in pre 2008 conditions and yet here we are sending billions to Ukraine, another 5.2 billion to the Phillipines and we're fighting climate change by making life even more difficult for the Canadians that fuel this economy. Its the equivalent of being on the Titanic and the Liberals and NDP are throwing snowballs at each other while the conservatives are trying to warn us that the ship is sinking.
      Of course its easier for a low skill, low intellect lefty politician to "fight climate change" because no matter how many billions they drain from we the taxpayers, you can't measure the results of their efforts. Its an amazing con. But if they actually attempted to do their job, like adressing the issues listed above, we would be able to measure their skill and competance.
      See in before 1968, Canada was 0 dollars in debt. Fast forward to Justin Trudeau's father and beyond, that debt sky rocketed. Harper is the only PM that was bringing that debt down. But once Trudeau took charge, that debt has spiked in a trajectory never before seen in Canadian history. But you know, global warming and #ImWithUkraine and #ISupportTheCurrentThing lefties.

There is an entire middle management that contributes nothing to operational success. There is a way to eliminate this without it costing us directly.
