We have been on a proxy war since Feb 22 2022. Putin continues to escalate in Western Europe… Poland, Latvia, Estonia, the Baltic areas. His ambitions are pretty transparent and NATO countries are responding militarily. Emboldened by Trump, his proxy President, we will see how the next 12 months...

This mayoralty, along with the increasing prominence of AOC should prove interesting, even over the next 16 months or so.

It appears that the brick finish in the renders has become slabs of Brown Stucco..at least on the sides of the building. The street front may differ.

I would say that 25 years or so ago, there was little demand for housing north of the railway and south of the highway. There is something to be said for retail, retail of that era, and employment lands in general. We all welcomed HD with the demise of Beaver etc. There may be an argument for...

Re the above question. I would also ask if the heritage train shed would be an impediment? I have/ am a staunch supporter of preserving heritage where possible, and supported the preservation of the train shed. However, depending on those answers, it may be time to look at alternate preservation...

The Province recently posted the following (and see Link) re their mandated Oakville Midtown TOC (and the associated MZO orders) proposal that the Province has been trying to ram past any opposition. Once again, the town had developed a planning document for the area, which enhanced densities...

Yes I was, and I apologize for not being more specific. Although rail is making inroads there is much that could be done to be even more competitive, especially in a Toronto West to Montreal / Moncton corridor, as an example. There are larger shares of the freight moving along routes such as...

It would be interesting for a railway to model container shipments to compete with longhaul trucking routes, using an express service, and modern handling technologies to enhance last mile deliveries. So Toronto West to Montreal, Moncton for instance as an example. This could be done but the...

I am not sure any enforcement goes on with HOV. And to think of it, there does not seem to be enforcement of much in the way of driving laws on the 400 series highways. It is very rare to see any OPP, until you get to the eastern portions of the 401 (QC border through Cornwall and beyond) where...

Perhaps more of an X . One diagonal from Niagara or Branford/Hamilton through TO then onwards to Ottawa. The other from London, perhaps Windsor, through TO and reaching out past the GO lines to Kingston?

Caught this on CNN tonight. A Norwegian tunnel Project. Makes for interesting reading.. https://www.cnn.com/travel/norway-longest-deepest-underwater-tunnel-spc

I don’t know, the more I look at this, the more the negatives pile up, see the above posting. This project really exists in a vacuum, and until we understand how the much larger midtown ‘ debate’ finalizes, it’s really hard to see where or how this fits, if at all. But the ignoring of the GE...

In Montreal again for,business, but hoping to ride the REM again and catch up on the changes, As a further request, could someone forward the latest report on costing of the Third Link to Doug Ford….. And if the QC trip was two hours from Montreal, and ran multiple times per day, that train...

Ther There is a lot to take in with this plan. And whether we think the densities are appropriate or not, whether the design elements work or not, whether the supporting services exist or not, and whether we should be plunking down towers next to the QEW, the entire proposal must be, and will...

I do not disagree with any of the above. We currently own and lease and come nowhere to competing on size with mid western CDN outfits, not to mention the USA and some EU countries (Hungary, Romania etc) where, I believe, these farms are commonly owned by offshore interests (Dubai for...
