While the TTC obviously has lots of room for improvement, I think it’s pretty ridiculous that minor annoyances are getting major headlines. I expect more from newspapers — with their unending focus on trivialities, it is no surprise to me that they are a dying business.
Indeed, that Sun spinoff paper 24 has now completely devolved into a celebrity gossip rag. Really don’t know why they bother, they might as well hand out newspaper sale fliers and be done with any pretence of journalism.
