So It's Monday, I'm all about patience, and not going for a walk the day of a storm and expecting a smooth totally cleared sidewalk, but it's over 48h+ after a storm, and major street sidewalks (Dundas Street near Islington in Etobicoke) are un-walkable. I guess it's the residents fault who...

What are you using to categorize candidates as Right, Centre, and Left? Is it particular issues/voting record? People/parties they have associated with?

Didn't Ana Bailao win Davenport with over 80% the last time she ran? This is the most left/NDP area in the city (current ONDP leader Stiles riding). She is able to convince progressives to vote for her. If there is no NDP or Matlow candidate, do progressives vote for Bailao or Bradford? Ot...

Sorry to bring this old post back up, but how is it that Brad Bradford is currently the chair of the Planning and Housing Committee with such a conflict?

I don't think Mike Layton is a very likeable guy. He's no Jack, so to speak. He speaks to a certain class of person, but feels awkward watching him talk to the everyday person. I also found he often came across as a "gotcha" debater on city council, with a little bit of a temper when someone had...

Isn't the eastern border of East York Victoria Park? It's literally across the street?

I'm not sure if the woman is 31 now, or was the 31 at the time, but this is a full grown consenting adult. Some of the comments in this thread seem to imply she was barely legal or 18 years old. Saying "young enough to be his granddaughter" and "closer in age to Hazel McCallion" without...

It's much more expensive to serve 800k people who are spread out over thousands of KMs than it is to serve that same number of people who live in one dense city. You can even compare within Ontario - the cost to service Northern Ontario is much higher per capita, the number of hospitals you...

Why is this a point to be made? Yes, the most populated province, with areas of such high density is exactly where I would expect less would need to be spent per capita? Why is this a surprise to you? Economies of density - look it up, cost savings flow in areas of high population densities...

Whether it's the case or not is kind of irrelevant, the perception is that this is the case - that getting on the TTC is a risk. Perception is enough to keep a lot of people from taking TTC. Did anyone else receive phone calls form parents or family members from outside of the GTA saying they...

Logically, Mississauga would have been the first suburb to get the extension based on population and density. Vaughan got a subway in the middle of nowhere, and Mr. Sorbara's friends pocketed billion with this land value (allegedly). It should have never happened. Line 1 is over capacity - Line...

FYI, Union station to Square One is only a few more KM than Union Station to Scarborough Town Centre.

I think you are trying to misrepresent your anecdote with a general consensus. It's a universal consensus that Canadians prefer remote work - across all industries. Study after study in Canada have shown this. Future Skills Centre had it at 78% of Canadian prefer working at home, Hardbacon...

I mean, we went decades with having Kipling and Islington being connecting stations for MiWay - and still have 1 MiWay bus going to Islington. So, there's no reason we couldn't do the same with Kipling and Cloverdale. Although, I would hope an added benefit of an extension would be to reduce the...

I don't see what everyone else is seeing. I think the buildings are all so similar, full of ugly spandrel. I get it's not Toronto, but even for 905 buildings. Mississauga's City Centre is much more attractive and visually appealing that these towers.

Sherway the mall, and the entire North Queen big box area is already going through the planning process of becoming a high rise community in the next decade or so. Long branch already has medium to low density (and there aren't many plans for higher densities here) - the densities at Sherway...

I know the plan for Park Lawn GO is to have alternating stops (here and Mimico), so a train every hour? Not sure why the city thinks that's good enough here.

Agree with all of those except Ontario Line - I think it's good way to increase value of public land, as opposed to private developer land. Both ends (Science Centre, and Ontario Place) are crown land - it's better than building a subway to Scarborough Town Centre, or Vaughan MC, where it was...

Holyday nearly lost in 2018 against Campbell so I wouldn't say he has a "lifetime lock". Yanuziello got almost exactly the same vote percentage as NDPer Erica Kelly got in 2018 (10%). I have no doubt it would have been close had John Campbell decided to run again, the Carnvale vote probably...

In case anyone was wondering about the biggest winners and those who got the lowest % of the vote (while still winning) in Toronto: Rank Councillor % of Vote 1 Josh Matlow 84.65% 2 Paul Ainslie 76.52% 3 Jaye Robinson 74.22% 4 Paula Fletcher 74.02% 5 James Pasternak...
