    In Ontario, asshole political leader Doug Ford is trying to stop free public transit by paying for transit cops out of the provincial budget. That way no one can make the payment you just made. Can we have the same amount of money to spend on improving public transit? No. The only thing fearless leader Doug Ford fears more than free public transit is good public transit.

    What a bag of dicks. Watch other conservative states and provinces follow his lead!

      Wait, where in Ontario has free transit? The topic of your article, Ottawa, charges for transit.

        It was floated last election and has made the rounds a few times. This is a pre emptive attack.

          Darn. Free or even just cheaper transit would be pretty cool and might increase ridership. I mean, roads are free to use, so why not transit as well?
