Yesterday, the Liberals in #Canada announced they're going ahead with true high-speed rail. (Not just "high-frequency.")

This means 300 km/h (186 mph) electric trains from #Toronto to #Quebec City.

This corridor is home to 700k students, and half Canada's population.

Great news, but...

Reminder of how much we like to criminalize being poor.

Skipping a $3.50 transit fare results in a $425 fine while skipping a $20 parking pass lands you a $70 fine that rich people complained to high heaven about. What justification, other than hating poor people, is there for this not scaling?

Make parking fines $2000 and then let's talk about the fictional "war on cars"

As for paying fare. $235 to $425 for not having proof of payment on transit.

🤔 “The recent ‘Longest Ballot’ action in #TorontoStPauls has only ever participated in Liberal ridings & one NDP riding. NOT ONE Conservative held riding. Running 74 fake spoiler candidates who don’t live, support, or even campaign, in the communities they target, is so clearly a dirty trick & an abuse of rules & norms, benefiting #Conservatives. The organizers claim to be independent, but the ridings they target tell another story.” - @HeatherMoAndCo
