    Via targets private financing with eye toward speed upgrades

    This. As someone who travels between Cobourg and Toronto often this is one the main reasons I don't take Via but rather drive to Oshawa and take the GO Train. The boarding procedures Via has at Union are ridiculous. Stand in a big huge line for an hour and get treated like a 2 year old. Major...

    Toronto Clear Spirit | 131.36m | 40s | Cityscape | a—A

    Yes I agree. One of Toronto's unique properties is its complete mish mash of buildings that don't necessarily belong together. Sets the city apart from many others, which I believe is a good thing. I completely understand both views though.

    VIA Rail cuts services in Southern Ontario

    What's been interesting in Cobourg is they're currently spending millions to build a new train station while cutting service at the same time. What's worse is the station being replaced isn't half bad. A lot of people here used Via to commute to downtown Toronto each day and are now having to...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Forget 5 lanes, it goes from a 7 lane C/E system down to 3 lanes in about a 5 km stretch. And as someone mentioned earlier, a lot of the traffic is coming from trucks, recreational and long distance travel on top of people commuting. Basically people who have no intentions of getting off the...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I don't know how well you know this stretch of highway but what you're suggesting would not work in this case. You're talking about a highway that goes from 12-16 lanes down to 6 in a pretty short distance when traffic levels don't warrant it. No amount of charges or even transit would fix the...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Well atleast it's something...although that only mentions it being widened to Brock road. I personally think it should be widened to Stevenson road in Oshawa. Ultimately I'd like to see 5 lanes per direction to Stevenson dropping down to 4 till the 35/115. Might seem like overkill but 401 has...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Is the 401 itself going to be widened during any of this? It's horribly over capacity between Ajax and Oshawa with just 3 lanes per direction. I know part of the point of the 407 is to take pressure off the 401 but either way it's in need of a widening through here.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    That looks good. You should make a stop in Cobourg after the one in Port Hope. It's only a few km away and would likely get more ridership being a larger centre.

    Brantford Colborne Point | ?m | ?s | Vrancor Development

    I know this post is old but if you're veiwing american small towns you're missing the ones right in your backyard in Ontario. Basically every town that you pass through or by in Ontario has an old wonderful downtown. Some have seen better days, yes, but many of them vibrant and bustling. I'm...

    BC Place Redevelopment

    I'll ask the obvious question. Why didn't they do this before the Olympics?

    Globe: Against the environmentalist, aesthetes have no hope

    I'm from Cobourg, love the new lights. They installed them on my street a couple months back. They lighting is very natural.

    Manulife project rumour - Wet blanket?

    It's still concerning that he's American and probably couldn't care less about moving the company to the US. He'd probably welcome it.

    ^ That would be great, thanks.

    Financial Advice

    So it wouldn't be wise to leave them as is and let them collect interest still? I gather that return on Canada Savings Bonds isn't what it used to be.

    Financial Advice

    I'll keep this short and sweet....I'm young, I have $16,000 (all matured) in Canada Savings Bonds. What should I do?

    Take me out to the ballpark...

    ^ I don't really think so. If anything it's the retro vibe of the pics doing it.

    I think rig pig refers to oil rig workers? The rocket being their vehicle?

    Roads: Highway 407 East (Durham Region)

    There is no need for 2 connectors plus the 115. Why not re-root or eliminate it altogether. I don't see the purpose it serves in this scenario.
