Nfitz, Perhaps not in terms of net greenhouse gases, but airports are a massive source of pollution, and air pollution is most damaging to people when concentrated close to where they live. By expanding the island airport, Porter want to double the frequency of flights, and thus the amount of...

Oh, so Sue Anne Levy, Margaret Wente, and Rosie diManno are tolerated because? Plus, look at Sarah Palin.

Indeed, it's not as bad as some other projects: https://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=Trent+Ave&daddr=Danforth+Ave&hl=en&ll=43.688356,-79.299273&spn=0.009558,0.017123&sll=43.689008,-79.296012&sspn=0.004779,0.008562&geocode=FQKjmgIdCwtG-w%3BFdygmgIdVPNF-w&t=h&dirflg=w&mra=dme&mrsp=0&sz=16&z=15...

Disagreements only count for something when they are backed up with logic.

Soon we'll have a dedicated LRT from Pearson to Union that'll take only about 25 minutes. The disadvantages of an expanded island airport will outweigh its advantages in a a matter of months.

The media need to take the spotlight away from substance abuse issues ASAP. You can't 'cure' links to organised criminals with rehab. Ford betrayed the trust of Torontonians and would continue to hang out with drugs and firearm traffickers had the police and the media not intervened. This is...

The crack video and its contents are a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. The context where it was taken, and the implications of the mayor of Toronto getting high with drug and firearms traffickers is scandalous, however. The Fords are trying to make this about substance-abuse, and...

This. I doubt they'll have difficulty finding a pathetic station desperately trying to boost their ratings - there's plenty. Good that one more institution has turned on them, though. These guys are toxic.

But is it just weed, or may we expect more?

Ford Nation in a nutshell:

The suburbs have been in decline for decades. Mississauga is heading there as well. Old Toronto is booming, but being dragged down by those in the 'burbs whose lives keep getting worse and are desperate for simple answers to complex problems.

Let's not underestimate how this may affect the way that people view him. Saying that he smokes X or Y or that he associates with W or Z is actually rather abstract for a lot of 'regular' people to care about. Many simply think 'I'm friends with Joe who is awful, and I tried ecstasy once, so...

http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/ontario-premier-kathleen-wynne-de-amalgamate-the-city-of-toronto#share People asking for the Premier to de-amalgamate Toronto. This would be a fantastic way out of the current situation, I believe. It would be a popular move city-wide, it would allow the...

Look no further than the area around Yonge and Bloor - it is happening there at its respective scale. Look also at the Waterfont, after ICE were approved we've got what, 9 ~70 story buildings proposed?

Hah, this explains why you are not calling for Ford's resignation yet. Read up. You will.

I doubt Adam Vaughan will support this project if there's fears it may set a precedent for the OMB. That's what Keesmat and all other reasonable people are afraid of. The TIFF tower was not supposed to set a precedent and it did, so ironically enough there's a precedent for precedence setting.

So the fact that he hangs out in and perhaps even finances crack houses owned by his friends, where he gets high and poses for photographs with people in the hard drug and firearms trade - some of whom have been murdered, and most of whom are now under arrest - is not enough for you to demand...

Let's keep some perspective. I live in a 50-story building and my commute consists of a 15 minute bicycle ride and 3-4 minutes to deal with the elevator journey. Since the number of units in a building is static, I doubt we will ever have real 'crowding' problems in here. This experience is...
