TTC: Other Items (catch all)

Again, it was up to the school to offer it.

Pre-COVID, Ryerson did offer such a program for each student. I recall York debating it, but I don't know if they ended up approving it or not.

I remember the U of T student union debating it as well, and it wasn't approved. It's not like the passes are free, the student union pays it out of your student fees (albeit at a significantly discounted rate vs a normal monthly pass).

A quick google found this, saying that the TTC was willing in 2018 to give all students a "free" monthly pass for $70/student, if all students had to pay.

 
They'll be out on bail by week's end, tops.
Given the laundry list of charges he's facing—including failure to comply with release orders and probation—the cost of bail is likely to be prohibitive if offered at all.

I guess if there's any silver lining here for passenger safety it's that this was targeted, rather than some nutjob with an appetite for trouble. Not much of a silver lining, mind you...

So it's not the first time he's been "caught & released", eh?
 
Depends what he was caught & released for the first time. If it was something similar to this, he should never have been released in the first place
Likely not assault with a weapon, attempted murder, etc.
 
Should we ban probation then?
A quick look at data suggests there's about 8,000 in Ontario currently in jail, and 32,000 on probation.

So at a minimum we'd have to quadruple the prison budget. :)

I doubt this guy is getting probabation though - even if the information suggests this is domestic, suggesting he isn't a risk to the general population.
