This really cannot be said enough times. It feels it ought to be obvious, but it's really lost on the casino proponents.

I canvassed for an NDP candidate. Condos are easy. Usually a friend in the building will let us in. If not, I watched one (more experienced canvasser) just hit all the buzzer buttons . We were usually in within a few seconds. And it was nice; less walking, and warm.

Well, since he's currently (according to him) running for leadership of the Conservative Party; MPP; Mayor; and leadership of the Provincial conservative party, I think it's pretty fair to ignore him.

Wait a second. Why don't we tunnel for the Allen, and then use that as a venue for the games, and then turn it into a toll road? Private companies would be lining up to finance this. The city would make a fortune. The revenue from the games could be used to build the DRL, the Line 2...
