I was expecting the worst with the murmurings of BRT over the last while, but this plan actually looks good. Finally, a serious LRT line.

The new mayor was *directly* elected by a huge margin in a municipal election with a staggering 50+% turnout. If that isn't democracy in action, then I don't know what is. Is UT really this out of touch?

Here's an interesting link that came up on Google News just now: CTV: McGuinty open to Ford's ideas on Transit City

This is worth repeating for the majority of single twentysomethings on this board who seem to think an entire family can just uproot every time someone changes jobs.

This has nothing to do with Ford at all. It's about you dragging down virtually every discussion on this board. Funny, I see you on the U-Sector forum as well and find it rather interesting that you don't behave the same way over there...

I agree and don't understand the tolerance either. He has singlehandedly magnified the amount of useless noise on this site to the point where a huge proportion of threads are virtually unreadable thanks to his juvenile rantings. For the short period he was banned last year, the difference in...

This is the most apt description of CD ever. Great thread!

Star: Get on board Presto transit card, province warns TTC

Every forest needs a good fire once in a while.

Excellent post. I have to add, however, that anyone who holds Toronto proper up as the height of sophistication clearly hasn't travelled very much. I love our city too, but let's be serious. In fact, the endless Mississauga bashing here actually betrays a parochial lack of sophistication in...

IIRC, it's Kirkor.

I can't comment on your experience in the US, but in Europe, you have to understand that people tend to sort the world based on ethnic nationality; state citizenship is far less important and less interesting to them. So when they're interested in your ethnic origins by asking where you're...

Fascinating, lesouris. I've made some vaguely similar observations growing up here, albeit scattered and from a significant cultural distance, but you've connected things up for me nicely. Thank you!

In other words, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Conclusions might not have been jumped to so quickly if the TTC were a competent organization and the city could actually coordinate infrastructure projects properly.

The level of incompetence this city tolerates in its public works never ceases to amaze me. I would never wish our city ill, but it seems it's going to take disasters like St. Clair and Transit City to change things for the better. We never learn the easy way... Too bad it's going to cost...

Your photo threads always capture everyday life to the point that I feel like I've visited these places myself! Thanks again.

Except that in reality we all grow up together, go to school together, work together, and interact with each other on a daily basis? Mississauga isn't Brampton or Markham; ethnicity is fairly evenly distributed and it's harder to hide in one's own cultural circle.

And you'd put Mississauga in that category?! That's absolutely ludicrous. Allow me to direct you to the 2006 Census Community Profile for Mississauga: Visible Minority Immigration & Citizenship Notice the proportion of 1st and 2nd generation Canadians (according to Statscan...
