You get what you pay for.. At first I was dead against the 407, but after using it for a while, you realize that it's better to pay more and be able to drive 100-120kmh in rush hour than to pay less and have the highway jammed.
Why can't the police just enforce the existing law without an injunction and fine and arrest picketers who obstruct citizens???

I find it funny how you would recomment North York Centre over Markham Centre. I'm in both areas very frequently and I find that the traffic is WORSE in North York vs. Markham Centre..

It would be nicer if it was incusive to all cultures, races and ethnicies... "Single ethnic" malls and developments are not the right way of doing things.. What if someone opened a "White Mall" in Rosedale??? It would be called racist!
Parks and the lake, plus easy access to highways.. Not everyone works downtown.
