    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Pricey, another way would rebuild the north section with hall built under the railway tacks connection them both the north and south end under the railway tracks, instead of that walkway above. But I have a feeling he wants to sell the land in question, its probably worth hundreds of millions...

    Toronto Ridiculous NIMBYism thread

    His only other option is to find an legislation or regulation on the provincial or federal level to counteract the by-law. If he can prove that the city by-law exceeds their legislation or interferes with another law or regulation, the city will automatically fail.

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    Thoes where always anti-Trump voters, but after Ted Cruz "New York values", would you be surprised that they went for Kasich as a alternative?

    Toronto Expo 2025

    But expensive tickets and two week circuses is what we had with the PanAm's. And they sold that as the greatest success story, and that's where the problems starts, the PanAm games where skewed to look successful to justify their costs, otherwise hosting the Olympics would be even a greater...

    Monorail for Toronto

    I don't doubt for a second that it could be vapourware, but I said way before, even if it does prove a ground breaking transit techonogly, we'll never have it here in the GTA for two simple reason. It's not Bombardier, and its fully automated.

    Monorail for Toronto

    I'm talking about its uses described on its website. It's "packet-switching" allows the the same car to services local nodes, as well connect into long distance cities using one techonogly.

    Taxis and ride-sharing in Toronto

    If Tim Hudak (yes that Hudak) gets his private members bill passed committee, and that's a big IF, then it doesn't matter what Toronto decides since it will overule the City in this regard. Here is the link: Bill 131 - Opportunity in the Sharing Economy Act, 2015, that is before committee that...

    Ridiculous comments and claims made by City Councillors

    I dunno why, but when Karygiannis and Mammoliti talk, I feel disturbed and bored at the same time.

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    Her major support is with superdelegates that give her the edge in the primaries, giving her larger lead, but they can't translate over to general election. She still needs the Bernie Sander supporters, and after bashing from the Hillary camp and vice versa from the Bernie camp, they might not...

    Monorail for Toronto

    GO-ALRT didn't used LIMs, had a pantograph to draw its power instead of a third rail, and its automation and electrification is what was rapid about it, allowing more trains to operate on the line without the need to refuel and change of staff. So take out the automation, and it pretty much what...

    Monorail for Toronto

    GO-ALRT and ICTS where two different technologies, what they had in common was GO-ALRT looked like a supersized ICTS and would share the same automation the ICTS had. But GO-ALRT spiritual successor is what GO-RER and SmartTrack will look like, minus the automation for political reasons.

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    It's been stated before that most pollsters still depend on home phone polling, so that adds problems to forecasting voters intent. But even if she gets a large share of the delegates, or if Bernie does, she still has a very large superdelegate count that will keep her ahead in the game, its...

    http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/primary-forecast/michigan-democratic/ She also had a 99% chance winning the Michigan primary. These results are questionable to say the least.

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    Even with Bernie winning the New York primary, Hillary still has a sizable lead with the majority of superdelegates. The goal of winning the New York primary is to convince the superdelegates, who can switch their vote at anytime from now to the convention, to select Bernie Sanders. If they...

    2014 Ontario Provincial Election

    More than likely he'll do nothing, the Ontario PC's are trying to prevent a split within the party, and like the Republicans in the U.S. with the teaparty, they'll cave into their demands as long as they carry the OPC banner into the next election.

    Toronto Expo 2025

    It just hit me! Six months would cover over a lot of existing popular events that already draw million of tourists if you add them all up. From Caribana to Taste of the Danforth and CNE to TIFF and all the events in between would easily filter through the World Expo, guaranteeing an success.
