Why does the TTC suck so much in customer service, and what's with the constant delays every single day.

Sometimes going into the office (when I'm stuck between station for 30 minutes in a non-moving train), I wonder how much better it was during covid with a full WFH mandated.

The TTC main complaint those last few years were no one is riding, but now they have ridership and they can't keep up with demand.

I'm copied this from an other website to help spread awareness.

In light of the Loblaws boycott, I figured we could do another community list of small grocers in your neighborhoods. Convenience stores, markets, fruit stands all welcome, as long as they aren't owned by some giant company.

I'll start:

Lucky Moose (dundas and beverly)

Bloor Manning Fruit Market

P.A.T. (bloor and manning)

Rise Up Foods (formerly Fresh Fields)(dundas and Brock)

Pavao (dundas and gladstone)

A Lota Seafood (dundas and Brock)

Brazil Bakery (formerly brockton bakery) (dundas and brock)

Macs Cigars (Dundas and Brock)

Unboxed Market

> Toronto Public Library branch removed a poem by a celebrated Palestinian poet killed in an Israeli airstrike in December, following pressure from pro-Israel lobby group B’nai Brith Canada, a move that advocates are calling a clear example of anti-Palestinian racism.

> “The removal of the poem highlights concerns regarding Palestinian voices and their rights to express their human experiences. It implies that Palestinians are reduced to mere political issues without the entitlement to cultural expression or even the basic right to exist without facing labels of anti-Israel or antisemitic,” Ewais [researcher at Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME)] says.

> She added that “writing about death should not automatically be equated with glorifying martyrdom; rather, it is a part of the human experience. To remove Palestinian narratives without valid reasons is a form of discrimination and racism.”
