I hate to play the bad guy here, but what you are proposing would tally more than 30 billion in upgrades and expansions. A more realistic total would probably be about 8-10 Billion if Toronto were to get the Olympic games. Also put in perspective that the earliest possible for a...

You can't expect condo's and office towers to line the streets the day a new Subway line opens. I think people often forget that the Sheppard line is only 9 years old. And it can easily take that long sometimes from office tower concept to office tower completion.

If you have trouble getting leaf's tickets your not trying that hard.

I guess one could argue that if the subway line got built on Spadina south of Bloor, We might have seen the need for that East - West line on Queen arrive earlier and actually get built. And Chinatown would have been pushed futher west as business and developers wanted to be on the subway...

Design speed is determined by the Geological features of the road. Ontario picture you post a straight section of highway, there is no Geological features and thus design speed doesn't matter. Save for maybe MTO standards on ditches and shoulders. It's pretty much standard in Ontario that all...

While I don't disagree with you, The Allen south of Wilson is a pretty straight road. And save for over the 401, offramp at Lawrence and the end, there is pretty much no vertical difference either. Highway Engineers don't take into account design speed on flat highways or roads. And...

Incorrect. Drivers are going to speed regardless if a 50km/h posted speed limit road was designed for 50km/h or 80km/h. The design speed is a mathematical properly for designing vertical and horizontal curves. And the reason why the almost always design roads above for speeds above the...

I think I have suggested this a few times here. However my suggestion was more about making proper highway interchanges at Lawrence, Tretheway, and Eglinton. I believe these suggestions won't hurt any communities as that roadway already exists. Then again, it has been 4 years since I...

East of Markham road is hardly an issue for traffic.

No, it is not the path Rio Followed. Rio had already hosted the Pan-Am games when they found out they would host the Olympic games. There will be a 9 year difference between Pan-Am and Olympic games for Rio. As oppose to 5 years for the Toronto Bid.

Yeah, that's what I meant. What's different in the case of the NHL, CBC pays about 100million per season to air Canadian team's and playoffs. TSN about 25? NBC just started putting money in the pot.

And as if NFL Board would approve an expansion/relocation here, or wither US TV companies would be willing to give money to a Canadian team where they can't and down't own any broadcast rights. There's so many issues affecting an NFL team coming here, that a stadium would be the last of the...

I drive downtown all the time, even during rush hour it's not really THAT bad on streets. Then again I also know of some shortcuts. It's the highway system going into and leaving downtown that needs some fixing. You have only 2 lines leaving downtown. Seriously, it shouldn't take 2 hours...

Hardly, to call the NFL the same as it was 90 years ago is wrong. Both games have evolved from then. To say that the 1957 "Rugby Union" was different from 1958 "Canadian football" is a huge stretch. So you don't really have an argument there. There are 6 teams in the CFL that pre-date the...

Winnipeg just set a season ticket record http://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/story/2011/06/07/mb-blue-bombers-tickets-record-winnipeg.html They have sold almost 1000 season tickets since it was announced that Winnipeg was getting an NHL team back. I'd say that's pretty impressive.

I disagree. I've tailgated for Argos games in Toronto, and in Hamilton. Sure, there is a few who cross the line and drink excessively, but that's the same with bars. Tailgating (at least the ones I've been too) is more of a pre-game social event. You connect with friends you may only see...

Really? Your critizing ontarios portion of the trans-canada highway as not being 4 lanes? What does it benfit to Ontario if Highway 7/407 was expanded from Markham to Ottawa? Especially when the 401 already exsists. That would be the most heavyily used route of all the upgrading. But...

Your very naive to think it would bankrupt Air Canada and Porter. Sure it would put flights for people going directly to Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City at risk. But Bankrupt?

I didn't start said converation, and I usually don't, I go around sporting Argos gear all the time. I guess the Leafs stanley cups wins don't count then, because the last time they won, there was only 6 teams. It's a very ignorant way of "not liking" a league. As for More teams, I the...

I totally disagree with this statement, but I may misinterpreting it. I've found that more fans/season tickets holders of the Argo's and other CFL teams are fans of football in general, and follow it much more closely on levels that just 'NFL' fans do. Either it be NFL, CFL, NCAA, or CIS. CFL...
