The staff ate the food and now they are in the washroom.

I would think none as trains are still running through. If anything, this is likely in-station work.

Not sure where this belongs but since the single use plastic ban is Federal I am putting it here. Walmart is starting a limited subscription reusable bag recycling program. Sign-up is required however it is limited. I am glad to see the issue of what to do with all the reusable bags is being...

As I said before.. kill the foreign aid. We need take care of our own house before taking care of others.

Apparently Tim's corporate office failed to consider the impacts of the pizzas on Drive-Thru operations. According to a presumed employee on Reddit, the things take forever to make and are causing issues at the Drive-Thru. Unlike McDonalds, Tim's does not have places for people to sit and wait...

With Doors Open it also has to do with the individual property owners permitting access to their sites. You are correct though. TD Centre, Commerce Court, and others were worth the visit. Back in the day, they even had the King Eddy Crystal Ballroom opened and prior to redevelopment some of...

If it is like most other places, it will be for Uber, Skip, Door Dash, etc. Generally places want to separate food delivery apps from the general line so they create a specific area for them to pick up. McDonalds in Yorkville is like there where they have an outdoor pickup window for couriers.

What about debating STRs?

The list of buildings participating in Doors Open Toronto is out! I took a quick look at the list and quite frankly, I am severely underwhelmed. If this is the complete list, it has gone to hell this year. Most of the old favorites like the TD Centre, FIrehall 227, U of T (other than the...

Yes but keep in mind how deep in debt the US is.

Folks. Can we move the debate about STRs to another thread?

I can see the issues now. No doubt people with every dietary restriction from Jain food to Veganism will want a customized pizza. I hate to say it but I expect someone to be raising a stink over how Tims cannot accomodate them.

In the same vein, I can see this ending like McPizza in that it takes so much time to make that it gums up the works.

Quebec and Alberta might as they are against everything Ottawa suggests. Quebec may try making the case that it would hurt tourism in Quebec City and Montreal. Alberta may come back and say that it will hurt tourism in Calgary and Edmonton or that it would impact housing in the oil and gas sector.

Can they even restrict STRs or is that a jurisdictional issue? I assumed that STRs would be municipal or at most, provincial.
