And now Maine - though nobody killed there.....yet. What a totally f'ed up country and neighbour. It is like living next door to the Hells Angels...

I had assumed there would be bollards to block the area near the infamous wooden pole and still think there may be. If not in a couple of weeks I suggest you contact Deputy Mayor Malik, she generally quite sensible. She might even get the pole removed, it is supposedly unowned and seems unused.

The Economist just published this interesting article, food for thought! ON JANUARY 17th the Pentagon “stood up” two infantry battalions from the 11th Airborne Division in Alaska. Known as the Arctic Angels, the division specialises in cold-climate missions. As many as 1,500 soldiers could be...

Yes , 100% is. Unlikely as US actually needs our exports but he can now be nice and reduce it to only 50%. The real problem is not the % it is that a supposed ally with whom we have a trade agreement does not abide by it. Dealing with a child is never easy.

Easier said than done!

More details of Trump's latest tantrum at: https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/24/business/trump-canada-tariff-threat It is clear that we (and everyone) can no longer have any faith that America is a 'trusted partner' and agreements signed one day can be cancelled the next. If Trump does not want...

Just walked past the Yonge side and there appear to be two more sections of crane , I assume it will be raised (for the last time?) soon.

Though things can certainly still change as the budget process moves onwards, the Staff "Budget Briefings" are usually a good source of info. The briefing on Cycling Infrastructure has just been revised and reissued. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2026/bu/bgrd/backgroundfile-264641.pdf...

Nobody here said that ALL locals want Market Street fully pedestrianised, I doubt you would find unanimity of anything in St Lawrence or on UT. Nobody is 'trying to lead you around by your nose'. As noted earlier, the reason why weekend-only closure is less desirable is that if the street is...

Nobody is saying you cannot offer differing opinions and diversity of opinion, priority and outlook is good but what you are saying is NOT the view of most St Lawrence locals expressed at the St Lawrence Neighbourhood Association, through the BIA, from our Councillor (who runs a local business...

Yes, the (UK!!) company which supplied these offers a huge variety - we clearly picked their low budget range. See https://townscapeproducts.co.uk/product-category/products/vehicle-defence/pas-68-counter-terror-blocks/ Of course, if we had bought from a local company we would have saved on...
