Cllr Thompson (who, I must add, was just on trial for sexual assault) accuses some fellow councillors of "moonlighting" in other wards, councillors who don't even have red lanes (priority bus lanes) in their own wards. With biting sarcasm: "Wait for a report to come in—what report? The one that's already written" and before them?

FUCK YEAH the TERF head librarian is retiring I can stop boycotting the Toronto Public Library (it's been like 8 years. I hold grudges) https://mastodon.social/@GraphicMatt/114902859587107990
Okay I gotta step away from nightmare rectangle, seriously need coffee for to endure RapidTO Bathurst debate
Aaaand the carve-outs begin. Cllr Saxe wants an exception for a stretch near Dupont where small business owners have no other access to parking (same as it ever was eyerolls).
Everyone wants the bus to go faster, no one wants to deprioritize cars

"I knocked on all the doors from Eglinton down to Queen," says Cllr Bravo.
Holyday comes out swinging: "More like CongestionTO. I think it's rubbish!" He is very scornful of the idea of dedicated bus lanes and is a staunch induced demand denier.
(He says it doesn't save enough time—"it only saves three minutes!" An enterprising person could look up if he's said anything about the Gardiner East, which many councillors campaigned to keep up because it would slow down drivers by, like, 5-8 minutes? I can't remember. Was he even on Council then? Look, it's all kind of a blur.)
Holyday thinks the City is just doing it to look "progressive" to FIFA tourists, but most visitors, who presumably will be driving cars in Holyday's imagination, will see "the worst congestion" ever. And with that, lunch break!
