Today, Councillor Dan McLean and I announced that we’re exploring a pilot project to install turnstiles at select C-Train stations. Our transit system should be a place where everyone; students heading to school, seniors running errands, shift workers coming home late, and families, can travel without fear. Right now,...

They called this a “Town Hall”, but it was more of a “Management Hall”. But here’s the reality transit workers deal with every day. In 2018, management gave conductors phones. There’s a bulletin to prove it. But today? If a conductor gets caught with a phone, management treats it like it’s the worst violation imaginable. So which one is it? Because a distraction is a distraction. Whether the alert says “service delay” or “your child is sick at school” the phone still rings the same way. You can’t preach one policy… and enforce another through discipline. And speaking of discipline… When workers ask for real safety solutions, the answers suddenly disappear into bureaucracy. For six months we’ve been waiting for an answer to one simple question: Can off-duty employees or deadheading crews ride in the cab for their own safety? Because the reality is this uniform attracts negative attention. Transit workers get assaulted wearing it. But somehow we can hold endless meetings… and still leave basic safety questions unanswered. At some point we have to stop pretending these meetings are productive. Because workers aren’t interested in ceremonial conversations. We’re interested in results. The people who run this system every single day don’t need more meetings. They need real decisions. So here’s the question again: Can transit workers ride in the cab for their own safety… or not? Because accountability shouldn’t only exist when it’s time to discipline workers. It should exist when workers ask management to do their job too. #ny #mta #nyc #fyp

BREAKING: Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles is now BACKTRACKING, stating that the Charlotte light rail st*bbing was caused by a “tragic failure by the courts and magistrates.” The only reason Mayor Vi Lyles is suddenly changing her tune is because she's up for reelection in November. VOTE HER OUT OF OFFICE! Mayor Vi Lyes Statement: “Over the past several weeks as our community has worked to understand this, what we know is that this was a tragic failure by the courts and magistrates. Our police officers arrest people only to have them quickly released, which undermines our ability to protect our community and ensure safety. We need a bipartisan solution to address repeat offenders who do not face consequences for their actions and those who cannot get treatment for their mental illness and are allowed to be on the streets. We have partnered before on legislation like North Carolina's pre-trial integrity act, and we stand ready to partner again at the local, state, and federal level.” “I want to assure the community that we are taking action, and we will continue to take action. Last week CATS leadership presented to Charlotte City Council and the Metropolitan Transit Commission about the ongoing work to address safety and security on our public transit system. Over the past two years, we have doubled the number of CATS security personnel, tripled the safety and security budget from $5.8 million to nearly $18 million, and are shifting from a corporate security model towards a stronger transit policing model.” “Effective immediately, CATS security personnel will be re-deployed for a stronger presence on Blue Line platforms and to increase fare enforcement. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department will also be increasing patrols at key areas across the transit system. These changes will allow CATS to fully execute the transit system policing plan, including the Blue Line.” “Over the next two to three weeks CATS will be rolling out new safety operations including bike units and urban terrain vehicles. CATS is actively recruiting and will be adding nearly 30 additional security personnel over the next few months. CATS will also be bringing an agreement for council approval to Council's next business meeting on September 22 which will expand the authority of CATS to provide security around the transit system.”

On behalf of the Minister for Transport, Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe, under whose leadership I serve, I had the privilege of joining the management of Metro Mass Transit in Egypt for the final inspection of three hundred (300) ISUZU buses slated for delivery to Ghana. This important undertaking reflects the Minister’s clear vision and policy direction to strengthen Ghana’s public transport system through strategic investment in modern, reliable, and efficient mass transit. The arrival of these buses will significantly expand fleet capacity, improve service coverage, reduce long waiting times, and enhance safety and comfort for commuters. In practical terms, this intervention will ease the daily burden on workers, students, and traders, help decongest our roads, lower overall transport costs, and contribute to a more orderly and environmentally responsible urban transport system. I am sincerely grateful to Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe for the trust and confidence placed in me to carry out this assignment. His guidance and leadership continue to drive the Ministry’s efforts toward delivering practical solutions that directly impact the lives of citizens. The Ministry of Transport remains firmly committed to implementing its mandate with purpose and accountability, ensuring that initiatives such as this translate into real benefits for the Ghanaian people and advance the Better Ghana Agenda through a resilient, inclusive, and efficient national transport network. #jomoromp #deputytransportminister #jomoroanyelazo

It’s clear that the UCP government does not care about the needs of Calgarians. Just 34 days ago, the UCP promised that funding for the Green Line was “100 per cent” secure, even for the new shorter version. Now they've decided to pull their funding. This reckless decision could mean the end of a badly needed transit project and a massive waste of over $1 billion that has already been spent as construction is well underway. The UCP has chosen to give up 20,000 jobs directly associated with this project, including 1,000 people employed today who will be thrown out of work by this decision. Not to mention all the private sector jobs that will come from the redevelopment and densification of lands surrounding the future stations. Let’s be clear. This decision will drive both public and private sector investment out of Calgary and Alberta because there is no certainty. Who will ever bid on projects if the province’s signature is no longer worth anything and they can pull funding at will? They are pretending they are looking at new options, but we’ve seen this movie before. Minister Dreeshen’s proposed alignment has been studied. And studied. And studied. It won’t work. It dumps SE commuters nowhere near where they need to be and expects them to trudge to a red or blue line station to get on a train that is already packed. It’s a dream from someone who has clearly never taken transit in Calgary. The UCP government has chosen to make this a political issue. The UCP wants to make this about me. It’s not about me — it’s about doing the right thing for the tens of thousands of Calgarians that will be hurt by this decision. As always, the UCP would rather pick a fight than win for citizens. The Green Line is a required investment for the future of Calgary. It’s an investment in ending the congestion on Deerfoot and Stoney Trails, and the Centre Street corridor. It’s an investment in the environment, in quality of life, in getting people to and from work, and kids to and from school. We simply have to look at the congestion nightmare that is Toronto today because that city didn’t invest in transit when they should have. This is untenable and the people of Calgary deserve better than to be used as a political football. The premier needs to intervene directly, take control of this file from her minister and advisors and work with the city to find a way forward.

mark’s speech for the world, at the world environment day 2026 “hello everybody, my name is mark lee. it is an honor to be here today. thank you so much for inviting me to world environment day and to Azerbaijan here in Baku. it is a beautiful city. before i sing you guys a song, i would like to tell you a short story. i visited kenya earlier this year, and at that time, i was going through a very important time in my life. i had to make a very important decision for my career and for my life. and so i had a lot of people giving me advice, asking me questions that i didn’t really know the answer to. i was going through a strange, confusing period of time. but i was in kenya and so i went on a safari. i saw so many beautiful animals, and i saw a lion. and at that moment, i kind of realized that sometimes its not really important to know the answer to all these questions or to know if you’re perfectly ready for everything, but rather whether you’re willing to take the next step toward real change. so i made this song in kenya. its called “ready or not” and if i am correct and if we’re all getting the same memo, i do believe that our planet is asking us the same question. not whether we’re ready, but whether we’re willing to raise our voices and take this step. whether we’re willing to care enough to create real change. i believe our souls all have this longing for a better world and i think thats one of the truest pieces of evidence there is that a better world could exist for everybody.”
