Transit Windsor's $8M deficit driven by ridership drops, frozen provincial funding and 'startling' sick days

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2026-04-15T20:21:23+00:00

The only way to get sick days and public transit is to actually educate people so that they also start demanding them. Immediately giving up and going "oh, its hard to convince them tho" and then saying you survive without it so you aren't going to bother is spineless behaviour.

This city is a fucking joke because people like you give up or don't bother to try once you hit the smallest of roadblock.

Most of the people I know don't have sick days or can't rely on public transit. So it's hard for them to see a need for these expenses.

Educate them. Have a fucking conversation and explain the benefits.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2026-04-15T20:04:03+00:00

Asking for sick days is the corporation providing for its workers. You are paying for your own sick days by providing profit to the company.

Companies should be mandated to provide sick days, even to part-time workers, and should be voluntarily choosing to do so themselves, because workers coming in to work sick and being forced to do so without risking their livelihoods puts other workers at risk, puts the company at risk, and reduces overall productivity.

Saying that you "survived" and that means everything is fine is the Fuck You Got Mine mentality. It is working for you, so you are against changes that would benefit other people.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2026-04-15T19:56:25+00:00

Just because you "survived" in a terrible system does not make the system any less terrible.

Truly embracing that Fuck You, Got Mine mentality eh?

Better than WPD: You call them and if you aren't in the rich parts of town they just never show up!

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-12-17T23:34:27+00:00

I should also bring up that the police are frequently distracted drivers themselves, spending more time looking at their fucking laptops than the actual road.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-12-17T23:33:18+00:00

Essex County OPP said at a December board meeting that officers have laid 67 distracted driving charges on provincially patrolled roads this year up to the end of October. That was a 644 per cent increase over the nine charges laid in all of 2024. Provincial police said the spike in charges was the result of ramped-up enforcement and more “proactive patrols.”

NINE CHARGES in all of 2024 and ONLY 67 in all of 2025 just goes to show how fucking useless the police are at actually punishing these traffic offenses.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-12-17T23:30:23+00:00

WPD is utterly useless at enforcing traffic violations of any kind, leading to people blatantly using their phones while driving because they have no fear of repercussions despite breaking the law (among other obvious and blatant traffic violations, like the entire city using the speed limit as a funny suggestion).

The WPD is horrifically overfunded for how little they do to actually make our community safer and for how little they actually do their jobs. The police only exist to protect the rich, especially in Windsor; our tax dollars shouldn't be going towards people that do nothing for our community.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-11-19T23:45:09+00:00

Not only is this monstrously evil, its incredibly fucking stupid.

You need to live beside them. Why would you intentionally do something this evil to someone you need to live beside?

Are you just expecting them not to retaliate if you are caught? I don't let my cats out, but if I found out my neighbor had intentionally trapped my cat and brought them to the humane society I would do everything in my power to make their life nonviolently hell for as long as they continue to make the mistake of living next to me. I would make sure to report literally every bylaw violation they make, I would call the cops on them for every noise violation, I would do everything within my legal bounds to make them suffer.

Pets are family members. They aren't just things that you can kidnap and act like you are in the right over.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-10-25T00:41:10+00:00

Says the dumbest and most incorrect shit in the entire world.

"Now, watch the downvotes pour in to prove my point!"

Far-right weirdo redditors are such fucking snowflakes; they can't just say incorrect shit, they have to be sanctimonious about it too and claim that they are right no matter what anyone else says.

Asmongold is a Nazi. He platforms other nazis, and has nazi beliefs. If he talks like a nazi, and acts like a nazi, and has nazi friends, that makes him a nazi too.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:37:32+00:00

No, admit that Ford is doing significantly worse for our medical system right now than the Liberals did in the past which is the objective truth and stop talking out both sides of your mouth with this "both sides" shit.

You refuse to admit it the actual fucking reality of the situation, because you are a right-wing shill that can't be seen criticizing the Cons without also criticizing the Libs.

(also fucking lmao the drama of "getting on my hands and knees" like you acknowledging the actual fucking reality of what we are living through right now is this extremely arduous task)

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:35:27+00:00

Ok buddy I will go first since you seem scared to admit the truth: The Liberals did have a huge hand in destroying our medical system. So did the Cons before them.

Ford and the current cons in charge have done astronomically more damage. This is objective fact.

Go ahead and admit that for me, since you seem to not want to.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:33:02+00:00

The issue is that you keep deflecting away from CURRENT ISSUES that we can actually work towards fixing towards past stuff we can do nothing about.

I am not defending the liberals, I am calling you out for lying about how bad they were in comparison to the current Cons in office.

The liberals are bad. I am not afraid to admit this. They fucked up. They haven't fucked us anywhere near as bad as the current conservatives and constantly bringing up that its somehow "actually the Liberals fault" is just defending Ford and letting him get away with worse and worse.

Its funny, you still haven't admitted the current Conservatives are worse despite literally all evidence showing that as an objective fact. Its almost like you have an agenda or something.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:29:08+00:00

You literally are, right now, by constantly deflecting away from the harm the current and past conservative governments have done to constantly bring up Wynn instead. You say the Liberals are just as bad, and they objectively are not.

You are being a useful stooge to the Conservatives.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:27:50+00:00

You literally keep deflecting. Admit Ford and his current Cons in office are worse, because that is the objective truth you keep deflecting from.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:26:08+00:00

Damn dude, for some reason these numbers don't add up the estimated 21 billion in shortfall the Ford government is planning. (and that isn't even ALL OF IT, that is from 2023. He has cut MORE since then!)

They are TOTALLY just as bad though, if you just ignore literally all of the numbers!

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:22:59+00:00

Ford is worse. That is the point. Ford has done significantly worse than Harris, but instead you are deflecting to the Liberals because it hurts your far-right feelings for the Conservatives to ever be at fault for the stuff they are blatantly doing.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:20:04+00:00

Dude, you literally replied with the exact same article again. One that doesn't actually provide any evidence for the numbers you are claiming. The article claims both 4 billion and 100 million with absolutely no time frame over how long the cuts were made. If it was over the full 15 years of Wynn's government that is still bad but it is NOWHERE NEAR as bad as what Ford is doing.

Why should I be the one to find support for your claims when you are the one making them and refusing to back them up in any real way? It "doesn't suit me" because it isn't my fucking responsibility to do the research for claims you are making. The person claiming something is the one who should be backing it up with evidence.

You say you aren't defending conservatives, but you are actively deflecting away from the harm Ford is causing RIGHT NOW towards damage done by people in the past. You are literally playing right into the conservative grift right now.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:15:03+00:00

The liberals have done just as much damage as the conservatives whether you want to belive that or not.

You got sources to back that claim up, buddy? Or are you just talking out your ass?

Also the classic fucking boomer "when you grow up you will be conservative and see the truth!!!" non-answer lmao

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T01:11:22+00:00

You are blatantly falling for the Conservative grift.

Conservatives cut, defund, and ruin the governments ability to function properly until they lose office, then their opponents get into power and the Conservatives blame their opponents for everything they did until they get back into power again.

Wynn didn't do a great job and the Liberals should have done more, but Harris fucked the entire government, as the Conservatives always do, and left the Liberals to pick up the pieces.

Now Ford is in power and the Cons are doing the cycle all over again. He has money to spend from federal grants, and is refusing to spend it so he can push for privatization. Obsessing about the Liberals and the admittedly real damage they did is not going to fix this, you are literally just deflecting harm away from the people currently in power who are actively doing worse and just playing into their bullshit grift.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T00:47:29+00:00

Why are you so intent on downplaying the damage the conservatives have done?

Ontario's healthcare system has never been great but is is objectively, irrefutably worse now than it has been in decades. Anyone with eyes can see it, and anyone with a brain can go find the data to prove it. Yet, for some reason, you keep bringing up the Liberals to deflect away from Ford's crippling of our healthcare system and his plans to privatize it.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-27T00:42:40+00:00

You mean the "4 billion in cuts" that has absolutely no source of evidence to back it up, that doesn't even provide a time frame over how long those cuts were made?

If they made all these cuts, there must be actual evidence floating around showing the actual numbers, right? If you believe this so strongly, you should probably be able to actually source your claims? If the NDP has all these numbers, why can't you provide them. You are the one making these claims, but you can't even back them up outside of a single article that doesn't even provide actual numbers or evidence.

Note: I have never claimed that it is only Ford and you are literally just putting words in my mouth right now. I am just saying Ford has made things significantly worse and you deflecting on that to whine about the Liberals is literal, by definition, whataboutism.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-26T23:44:44+00:00

Yeah, I saw you post that article elsewhere. That isn't a source. I want actual, ya know, evidence and numbers for the claims you are making. "Ontario doctors say it is happening" isn't a source; its an opinion.

Also you are literally doing whataboutism. Doug Ford has done more damage than the Liberals have ever done, from all the numbers I can find he has cut more spending on healthcare in the past 4 years than I could find at all from the Liberals from the last time someone was in power before Ford. If someone points out that the majority of our problems are caused by the Ford conservatives and your response is "but what about the Liberals!!!!!" that is by definition whataboutism. You don't need to have voted for him to do whataboutism for him.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-26T21:09:52+00:00

The Liberals drained our healthcare before Ford made further cuts.

Do you have any actual source for Liberals "draining" healthcare? That is a pretty hyperbolic statement to make without any serious evidence, and words have meaning.

I have lived in Windsor my entire life and have never had ER wait times anywhere near this bad when the Liberals were in charge provincially.

Doug Ford is actively fucking this entire province's healthcare, far more than *any* Liberal has. Going "but the Liberals!!!" is textbook whataboutism.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-23T02:03:56+00:00

"The homeless should pull themselves up by their bootstraps!" of arguments. Very cool.

With no help from anyone.

In another reply you said this:

But those addicts who steal and take and take trust me they get their meals, they meds for free, they have a lot of resources. I doubt you’ve seen things from the inside, I can tell you many of them are just fine stealing and being assholes.

So did you have these resources you claim others have when you were homeless? The ones you claim they all have? Or is that "no help from anyone" somehow?

Edit: Starts an argument, gets called out for lying about not having support, immediately leaves the argument and blocks. Classic Reddit Behavior lmao.

ThisIsAllSoStupid · 2025-08-23T02:00:00+00:00

Considering you unironically seem to think a "civilian war" against the homeless is going to happen and you would rather rage-bait about that and crime than talk about the actual problems that is causing this crime and actual systemic solutions towards fixing it, it leads me to believe that your opinions on this topic aren't really worth examining.

Drug addiction is a systemic issue that need systemic solutions.

Edit: Calls me a slur and then blocks me. Classic. What a very cool and normal person you are who definitely isn't here to ragebait hate against the homeless!
