In honour of the newly unveiled TTC token, a transit rider has come up with a new name for the token.<\/p>\n
Alexandra Dodger, a McMaster University grad student, called it the Giambroney. Along the same lines as the Canadian Loonie and the Twonie, the Giambroney is now being called Canada’s most valuable coin currency. She has created a group called “I call my new TTC tokens Giambroneys!” on the popular online network Facebook. The group has attracted a total of 157 members, many not even from Toronto.<\/p>\n
She says the idea started over beers New Year’s Eve when the group of friends were in a discussion about the TTC, the new tokens and of course, Adam Giambrone. “We sent an invite [for Facebook] to the TTC, but they didn’t respond.”
\nThe real Adam Giambrone, TTC chair and Ward 18 councillor, thinks this whole thing is funny. “I’m taking it mostly as a compliment.”<\/p>\n
Some have already found a way to shorten the name by simply calling the tokens “bronies.” Although Giambrone is not a member of Facebook himself, and therefore has not been able to see what the group has been saying about him and the token, he still thinks “it’s fun, people need a way to express themselves, people have experiences on the TTC everyday.”<\/p>\n
The real Giambrone may not want to admit it but “I think somewhere deep down, he really likes it,” said Dodger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
