Someone seems to have dropped a stink bomb in the proverbial 'Religious-Right-Republican' boat. With Colin Powell endorsing Obama and a possible Bush conversion, it seems everyone is abandoning ship with this whole movement that has sadly taken over the U.S. for the past 10 years. And those...

...to add, it will be funny if, on November 5th, McCain comes out with a solid win. it would speak volumes of State of America today.

I completely agree. I feel sorry for the man because, given his history, he had to work so hard to make to the position he acheived - facing ever-constant adversity. He wasn't just used like a tool. More accurately, he was used like a Kleenex-brand tissue, in a porn shop, on the old Yonge...

I find this absolutely ridiculous. Why should business owners bear the costs of: Building a washroom facility accesible for potential customers (read: anyone off the street) Maintaining the cleaniness of said washroom Paying the extra hydro and water bills Providing security in those areas that...

How many of you have lived, lived, live, will live or would live in Mississauga? My guess would be 1/6th. Having spent some (a long) time in Mississauga, and sometime in NYC, Vancouver, Paris, Tokyo, San Francisco and soon to be moving to Montreal, I can assure you this: Mississauga (City...

But to be honest - after seeing previous game logos (from such exciting cities like Indianapolis and Santo Domingo), Toronto's isn't so bad after all. I guess it is not tough to compete with mediocre. As I always like to say: Go BIG or Go HOME.

One mustn't forget that Montpellier metro is around the same size as Brampton - and yet they have an LRT system better than Toronto's ...

Just build the damn thing! Really, too bad we can't vote for the Bloc. I agree with most of their platform - except the whole treason thing. Ontario votes Liberal and we show us no love. The Conservatives don't get our votes so they show us no love. The NDP shows love only to the working...

I think the later date has something to do with the moon cycle (as Urban Shocker mentioned) as well as coordination with our mother Nuit Blanche project in Paris. The two festivals have been closely linked since its inception in T.O. unlike the many other Nuit Blanches that have sprung up...

You know, I don't like to poo-poo everything (I like to wait 4-6 hours later to digest it) but at first site, this pedestrian, down-right lame logo beautifully demonstrates our lack of UNLIMITED exciting vision in this city. Everything is a comprise. Everything is watered down. Diverse...

Ya, the cop is an idiot. That kind of hard-headed police makes the community against them. However. The point is, there's a STOP sign, you must stop. But the article brings up an interesting point about traffic law - in that the same law that applies to a car should not be the same law that...

I love how in this report they point to Amsterdam, Stockholm, Montpellier and Strasbourg as examples ... having myself spent some time in MontP and Stras, How can they compare T.O., the 4th largest metro arean in N.America to towns that are smaller in population than London, Ontario? Until...

Well, considering that one aspect of this plan - the "DRL" possible aka Queen Street Subway was first proposed in 1911, I remain cynical as well. The only thing I believe in without seeing concrete is God.

Not bad! Although, if I may add - why have cities in the Toronto area always chosen recently to plant sticks for trees. If this street were lined with trees that were destined for greatness and hardiness (given our Cdn winters), it would make Confed into a grand blvd effortlessly.

I have never liked the idea of penealizing those how don't take public transit by charging them more. Don't get me wrong, I think public transit is God and the car is the Devil, but, how can we charge people money to park their cars at a subway station, when quite frankly, driving is the...

Just to add: after reading this article, I did not know that Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis, Portland, Minneapolis and Philadelphia ALL HAVE some sort of rail link to their airports. Come on Toronto. What's with all this talk about trying to be world-class. Cleveland?

I agree. I'll chip in some money for the project. I find we don't use our space well in Canada; I guess, figuring we have so much of it. An express line should definitely run along corridors already used for transportation (rail, highways, medians) in order to free up other areas for...

The Docks is a different case, in that it came after there was residential settlement of the waterfront. The airport has been there since 1932 i believe - back when the waterfront was nothing but a big factory. In regards to The Docks - why would the city permit the club on a waterfront...
