Jarvis only justifies its width during rush hour. I live a couple of hundred feet up overlooking the street. It’s damn near dead most times of the day even though it runs through one of the densest parts of the city. That tells me it only exists as an alternative to the DVP, all to the...

I often call it the Rosedale Expressway due to the speed cars drive on it. That said, I’ve seen more police pulling speeders over of late. But I see cars doing 70-80 through the block from Wellesley to Carleton, where there are a whopping *five* schools in spitting distance.

While I’m sure occasionally things have to run long, I’m not sure what’s different between Toronto and others when they can get away with early closures and overnight work. If a single 8-hour day shift is enough during the day, surely an 8-hour overnight shift would suffice? And that proper...

You forgot to add: "…because we still haven't learned from other transit agencies the secret magic that allows maintenance and track work to be done overnight."

My point being racists and homophobes here have a lot of overlap.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure a lot of the anti-LGBT people in this country are also anti-Ghana too.

Two birds, one stone if you will. https://streetsoftoronto.com/people-are-asking-the-ford-government-to-move-therme-spa-to-marineland/

My money is on that 30% thinking this will lead to more homeless encampments or some ridiculous BS like that.

I'm sure its due to the same contingent that always complains about how emergency vehicles will get around all the traffic (quietly ignoring that the problem lies with too many cars on the road)

It’s not relative to Union. Lakeshore Boulevard itself is divided between east and west at Yonge Street, like many of its cross-street thoroughfares are (Bloor, Dundas, Eglinton, St. Clair, Lawrence, etc.). This has been (somewhat) reflected in the naming of TTC subway stations east and west of...

I'm pretty sure shareholders are the only ones celebrating mass automation these days.

And the difference between what’s happening now is?

If your business model only works if you pay full time workers less than a living wage, it’s already broken. Too many businesses nowadays are allowed to survive solely on the exploitation of the public, through under pay, tax loopholes, or over subsidy.

Stock options are considered part of “total compensation”.

I've long been in favour of a legislation limiting total compensation at the top being a multiplier of the compensation of the lowest paid employee. A 20:1 ratio sounds good. If the lowest paid employee makes $50,000 in total compensation, the top exec can make $1,000,000 in total compensation...

Aside from being completely irrelevant and incomparable, no one says CEOs should be removed for one-time payments to employees. Companies need CEOs, it's the pay disparity and "maximizing shareholder value trumps all"-mentality that's the problem.

Gotta disagree with the analogy. Time and effort don’t equate to random selection. He shot for the moon and lost, but there will be many who respect that he even tried.

Even at the Olympics the best losers still get medals.

Because it's for educational institutes and not developers?

Of note though is that it was found unconstitutional only for the unionized workers. It was deemed quite A-OK for those without collective bargaining. This folks, is why we still need unions.
