I don’t see Americans having a problem with street running on their towns

Is it possible for street running in Barrie? Similar to like how streetcar or LRT RoWs are

Even Metra of Chicago still has F59PHIs in storage iirc

If so, wouldn’t the GO F59s or MP40s have control boards that are no longer in production(?) I know TTC doesn’t run commuter rail, but I wonder how is NYC’s MTA getting spare parts for their R46s and R68s though.

In Europe and the UK, they have gendarmeries and armed response teams in their police departments

I do recall hearing that after EHH came to CP Rail in 2012. He cut around 75% of mechanics/shop workers at CP Rail and i believe changed the way on how locomotives are assigned to after completing a run at yards.

Wouldn’t deferred maintenance be one thing. Then wouldn’t China and Russia have railways that are close to NA standards? And in Poland, they still run 76 M62s or ST44s on PKP Cargo which were recently modernized with new engines. Unfortunately from Russia.

Outside of Canada and the U.S. I’ve been seeing that locomotives last longer in many other countries like Germany, Poland, Australia, Brazil, Argentina and South Africa ones. Could it be that they lack the U.S. throwaway culture? For Poland, they’re in a good position because of the EU after the...

With TTC retiring some Nova LFSA Artics. Wouldn’t this be a bad idea since there are still bus routes that deal with overcrowding aka full buses. I feel like this is going back to 2000-01 when the Orion IIIs were retired without artic replacements. In NYC they found success with Artics aka the...

Many people don’t see Hamas as freedom fighters in this time. Lastly this isn’t the 80s when the mujahideen of Afghanistan was considered freedom fighters back then.

Wouldn’t the same people “I support the current thing” forget about 9/11(?) for October 7th it could’ve been prevented if Netanyahu was warned of empowering Hamas by allowing Qatari money into Gaza.

More distraction from the current scandals Ford is facing

Have most people heard of the Grand Mosque Seizure of 1979 in Saudi Arabia(?) that paved the way for the Islamist movement like Hamas to take over the Arab countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria and Morocco. Tajikistan on the other hand rejects any conservative Islam...

And I’ve also wondered why many Gen Z people don’t support Ukraine or have forgotten about Ukraine since 2023 once the Israel Gaza war has started.

I mean for extra GO train service?

Doesn’t GO plan on having the ex Metrolink F59s in service by June when the FIFA games are in Toronto?

While many in Ontario are living paycheque to paycheque. Ford wants to punish the poor and low income by making fines expensive. This is the same premier who banned speed cameras and fines for motorists.

It would appear that sometime in 1988(?) that TTC almost got to sign the contract for New Flyer E40s. But never came to fruition.

Here are some files that were probably never seen before. Back in the early 1980s(?), route 7 and 29 were to be converted to Trolleybus routes. I suppose this could happen today, if funding from all 3 levels of governments come in.

Then why you don’t see Conservatives in Canada not advocating for Norwegian type of prisons then? In Norway they focus on Restorative Justice and they’re given jobs and housing once their sentences is completed. Canada particularly Ontario has barriers for those leaving prison.
