Incredible! Thanks very much for sharing those.

How, in tax rates? What more do you want and why the hostility? I don't think Hipster could've been any clearer.

Diverting the Hurontario LRT all the way to Duke of York and around Square One to Burnhamthorpe would be a colossal waste of infrastructure and everyone's time thereafter. Think of all the specially signalled intersections that would need to be constructed down Duke of York alone! How would...

The blue signs seem to offer better contrast for their size, but I don't like York's signs either.

MCC: On-Street Parking

Amen to that! They even tried to win us over with very awkward looking t-shirts bearing the full name of the department in, needless to say, very small type and "ECE" stylized as a phallic logic gate as if to drive the point home. Ted Rogers also gave the convocation speech that year.

If I'm not mistaken, U of T's Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering had one or more mini-museum exhibits in either the Sanford Fleming or Galbraith building early this decade. Though we are talking about the same individual... he merely conferred his...

It's at least 9. There's a Thai-Hakka restaurant and I can't recall if there's another Chinese one or not.

Congrats, 3D! Well deserved.

Absolutely! For example, there's a single plaza tucked away off Dixie north of Eglinton that offers Afghani, Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Caribbean, Italian, Irish, and Mediterranean cuisines all through small, independently owned restaurants.

This is a good point, but I don't mean to deny North American cultural complexity; I'm trying to take a more macro view to understand civilizational interactions and the often surprising friction they can cause. Quebec is politically part of Canada, but its social and institutional "bones"...

You're taking this entirely the wrong way. I'm not describing individual people or members of a particular ethnicity; I'm describing characteristics I perceive that emerge from the collective social, cultural and political values expressed and projected through the Anglosphere's various...

If you weren't so new here, you'd understand who voted for the Front alignment. Most of this board's respected transit heavyweights are represented there, so a Queen alignment can't be as obvious as you'd like to believe.

It has nothing to do with prejudice; this usage is quite common and uncontroversial, especially in parts of the world (e.g. Europe) where no one cultural group dominates and mutual understanding is key to good relations between ethnicities or nation states. This may be difficult to experience...

Would "Anglosphere" be more palatable? I meant it in the collective civilizational sense, referring to the common assumption that its cultural norms (e.g. common law, individualism) are inherently superior to those of others, likely rooted in the relative geographical isolation of the countries...

Sober analysis is one thing--and I do appreciate the desire to make history come alive--but making a festival out of this in particular strikes me as inflammatory. And a politically correct vigil makes a poor salve. Positioning the British victory on the Plains of Abraham as the pivotal...

Are all of you such staunch Anglos that you can't possibly see why implicitly celebrating the final defeat of France in North America might be sensitive in a country that claims two founding nations? I've always found it interesting that Torontonians, who will go to the ends of the Earth to...
