The rally is part of a national week of action, with transit groups across the country pressuring the federal government to step up for public transit. It is a critical moment to secure federal transit funding – the new federal Canada Public Transit Fun.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>https://www.ttcriders.ca/fixthettc<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>How to Protest with Privacy in Mind<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thurs.
