Really? There was a rumour regarding the Highway 2 LRT?

Doesn't the "megacity" of Ottawa somehow resemble the similarity with Halifax? The city proper and its outer communities (Peggy's cove, Prospect, Dartmouth, Chezzetcook)?

How about incorporating every area of Ontario into two cities: Toronto and Ottawa? That sounds as good as what you proposed.

For first time, I strongly worship this idea. Shouldn't local developments be governed by a ward rather than a entire city as a whole (unless otherwise draws interest to municipal, regional or provincial matters)?

No wonder the politicians can't do a simple math. Like doctors being illiterate in nutrition, politicians aren't taught to be fluent in planning and development.

And how so is governmental "debt" an actually useful tool? Care to elaborate please?

The "psychological barrier" seems like nothing more than an aesthetic "eyesore". It's probably NIMBYism that lingers around most of the residents that prevents it. Like new subways are built strictly underground in Korea because its citizens are annoyed by the train noises aboveground...

Doesn't most of these trasnit agencies (except TTC) work together with Metrolinx? These municipal transit agencies present the future transit expansion plan, hand it over to Metrolinx, and let its BoD determine how would it be constructed and be operated? They could consult and hire foreign...

Hmm... Is RF leading in the polls just a media scare?

Does anybody here know the "advertising revenue" of TTC?

One retail (or resto) is soon to be opened in Heartland. It's called "Wok Box". From what I hear, it's some Asian food franchise based in Alberta... Probably a rival to Manchu Wok or perhaps Spring Rolls.

I don't know if you can answer this, but how can you explain that TO is able to manage a 1km of 6-lane freeway tunnel for under a billion? A tunnel value itself, definitely but with EA, contractors and other costs added in construction does this mean that Toronto can pay for the value of the...

In fact, cars should be banned during weekdays along Dundas from Chinatown to Yonge St!

Isn't Segway illegal in Canada? Are there any regulations in Ontario regarding electric non-automotive vehicles other than speed limits?
