As a young person under 35, 3 word slogans from the Conservatives were never going to help me.

I do feel hope for Canada through Mark Carney, because he strikes me as someone who does stuff, rather than just says stuff. Words I like to hear alone won't fix my future. #cdnpoli #carney #elxn45

 

Vancouver By-election ABC Competitor Candidates

I need to figure out who the leading not-ABC candidates are for this week's municipal by-election (Sat Apr 5). Help me out and pitch the best contenders? Thank you!

Sorry in advance folks, I couldn't figure out how to make a Link Post from Mastodon.

Also frightening is Trump's reaction to this on Truth Social, casually referring to himself as king:

"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

 

Vancouver West Coast Express EMD F59PH

This shiny locomotive carries commuters in and out of the heart of #Vancouver every weekday. It has 5 inbound trips in the morning and 5 outbound in the evening, past Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge to as far out as Mission, #BritishColumbia. It's quite fast compared to rush hour driving, and the views of the Fraser River are a treat. I just wish it went the non-rush directions at least a couple times a day.

Any model railroad enthusiast want to expand their 1:1 scale collection?

#Caltrain will be auctioning their diesel EMD F40PH-2 in the next month or two, with the engine removed. These engines were replaced by the new electric locos. Transport and storage will be buyer's responsibility.

Some transit vehicles on "The T" in Boston recently received googly eyes, spurred on by a local campaign.

Montreal Locomotive Works Class H1b - No. 2816 "The Empress"

Happy #Canada Day!

I was in #Calgary #Alberta in April
to see this beautifully restored steam locomotive. It was a public event at Canadian Pacific Headquarters in commemoration of 1 year since their merger with Kansas City Southern.

This #train has since been on tour and will do one last stop in #Winnipeg on July 6th, 2024.
