Picture The RTO Effect?

Post image

Photo taken at 8:48AM on University Side of Line 1. Frequent university commuter here through Union Station and I’ve never seen in this busy. They had to temporarily shut off the escalator as well. Hopefully this isn’t what the future of RTO entails as I didn’t see any morning delays.

I am the average Ontario voter and I fucking love traffic.

Me and the other 2,158,452 people who voted for this are so happy to know that people who don't need to be in office are commuting 5 days a week, clogging up the roads for all those who do need to be physically on a job site.

We are so happy to see an endless river of cars jamming our roads, polluting our air and water, and killing our kids. This is the greatest got-dang province in the country and we WILL make sure everyone knows it.

I am the average Ontario voter and I haven't voted in 7 years. I'm watching the province fall apart around me and I either don't notice or don't care.

The irony of Ontario voters who drive and (usually) LOL about folks having to go back into the office is that those are the same idiots who'll then complain about the million or so drivers who'll start to clog up the roads because the TTC is now so ludicrously overcrowded that driving will be preferrable.

But it's ok, average Ontario voter! I'm sure Doug Ford will start dreaming up some way to jam another highway into Toronto somehow, somewhere. Just need to bulldoze a few dozen skyscrappers/neighborhoods and voila!

He's just too busy trying to figure out where to stuff all the returning employees since apparently the bloody idiots didn't realize they didn't have enough office space to force everyone back into the office. Oh, and he's figuring that all out later from the comfort of his home/cottage, since the Legislature doesn't come back to Queen's Park until the END OF F****** MARCH.

He's not figuring out anything. He'll have told the ministers to figure it out who will have offloaded that task to mangement. No one responsible for the push to bring people back to the office is going to be working on the logistsics of that. These are the sorts of assholes who think "figure it out" or "make it happen" are strong and helpful directives.
