LOL. Toronto hosting a world-class sporting event with one of the worst transportation systems in the world? WHAT A GODDAMN EMBARRASSMENT.

Hey, TO, Paris hosted the Tour de France and the Olympics this past summer, and do you know what? Their cycling infrastructure was rapidly developed over the last several years, with investments going into infrastructure with a goal of making it 100% cyclable in the near future.

In the meantime, Toronto is going to remove bike lanes. 🤡

I'm conflicted, on the one hand...fuck FIFA, on the other hand, fuck most of the people who own hotels

They should hike the tax on Air B&B too.
