The Subway That Took a Generation: Why the Eglinton Crosstown’s Delays Were Even Worse Than You Think

  Toronto has a long history of transit projects that drag on, but the Eglinton Crosstown LRT has become the city’s defining example of how complicated, political, and painfully slow building transit can be. Most people think of the project as something that started in the early 2010s and simply ran over schedule. The truth is far messier—and stretches back decades. A Project With Roots in the 1990s Long before shovels hit the ground in 2011, the idea of rapid transit along Eglinton was already alive. In the mid‑1990s, the TTC began digging tunnels for what was then called the Eglinton West Subway . Construction actually started—tunnels were being carved out under the street—until the project was abruptly cancelled in 1995.

Jake Paul Defeats Mike Tyson in Lackluster Bout

 

In a highly anticipated yet ultimately disappointing boxing match, Jake Paul emerged victorious over the legendary Mike Tyson. The fight, held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, saw Paul win by unanimous decision after eight rounds of two-minute bouts. The judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of Paul.

Tyson, now 58 years old and having not competed professionally in 19 years, struggled to keep up with the younger and more athletic Paul. The bout was characterized by Tyson’s sluggish performance, landing only 18 punches compared to Paul’s 78. Despite receiving a hero’s welcome, Tyson’s performance left fans disappointed, with many booing as the fight concluded.

Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, managed to keep Tyson at bay with effective jabs and accurate punches. The fight, streamed on Netflix, drew significant attention but failed to deliver the excitement many had hoped for. Post-fight, Tyson hinted at a possible future bout with Paul’s brother, Logan, despite the lackluster showing.

This victory marks Paul’s 11th professional win, further solidifying his controversial presence in the boxing world.
