Lemon: Toronto - Birds More Important Than People
So the brilliant folk who run the rapidly deteriorating City of Toronto have instituted a program to rate buildings for bird safety.
Too bad they didn't apply some similar test to the the warehouses they store people in.The City is the worst slum landlord in the city.
But poor and elderly people aren't cute and feathery.
Bird brained...
There must have been a mass choking on the morning muffin yesterday when Star readers learned that the venerable TTC wants to run a train service to Pearson International Airport.
Oh, sorry, not a, gulp, train. Try a streetcar.
Set aside the mode of transport for a bit. This is the same TTC that is now busy surveying commuters on whether they would prefer fare hikes, higher property taxes or cuts to transit services or some other damnable option to keep the existing system from running aground.
For anyone paying attention, the Toronto Transit Commission doesn't have money to run the buses. The staff is short of cash to implement increased service demands, including new routes that were to start this fall.
Transit commissioners have been dropping hints they may have to shut down the near-billion-dollar Sheppard subway line barely three years after they opened it.
And instead of weeping at the city gates in sackcloth and ashes, chair Adam Giambrone is contemplating a run at airport transit service.
Urine sample, please.
