Why on earth would they have to do that? They don't for any other article...

It's a joke.

It's a common practice in the media to preemptively create content to be ready to publish immediately when/if something big happens.

For example, when Trump won, WSJ had a video up on their YouTube channel almost immediately, and people were joking that there's a Kamala victory video kicking around on a server somewhere.

It could also be they thought this wording was more appropriate given the election, but that's kinda weird.

Absolutely, but this one is a bit weird. Ford is leading in the polls, and while I hope he and the PCPO get the public's ire on Thursday, I'm also a realist and expect him to win. (But *everyone* please vote!). So why add the "then-premier" but? Anyway, nothingburger

During the writ period there is no Premier or Cabinet ministers or MPPs there’s only candidates. As such

Not true. There are certainly restrictions on what they can do. But they Premier and cabinet still exist. MPPs are moot, as they have no power.

I don't know why we need to even mention an obvious 6-character typo - let alone debate it.

Probably just the left-leaning media with wishful thinking.

GIven the lengths that paper will go to to screw the NDP, perhaps centre-leaning may be a better description.

 

[officedweller]

Don't shoot the messenger, but they do this so they don't have to come in and change the article when a new Premier is elected

Probably just the left-leaning media with wishful thinking.

As if this thread wasn’t a big enough mess, now @nfitz is replying to a future message in an older message. Never again please

I blame it on all the time travel plots we've seen in super hero movies.

I blame the alternative news, not just the fake stuff, but the proto-real news. This is turning into Minority Point!
I'll have to go train spotting for this line sometime, I haven't seen one in years, but I don't go east enough.

Murphy's law dictates that the day you choose, all the trains will be sound asleep at the yard.

I've tried a few times and my honest recommendation would be not to bother. It's less of a pain to go to Waterloo to see their cars.

I say this with a hint of sarcasm, as I'm impatient, I generally dislike birdwatching, so I doubt spotting trains or planes would be of any interest.

Last we heard the 3rd class never finished, and they need them to open?

Surely you only need 2 classes to finish to open Eglinton. In a separate thread it was noted that signups for Finch West are for starting May (11). So they still have 10 weeks or so to complete the third class of training.

If it is 3 boards of trail running, then it's a summer opening on August 31 July 27.

Don't give me hope....
