Sorry but the conservative leaning crowd here needs to makeup their mind. Are you wanting to splurge on subway as before or do you want to as much money as possible with a BRT? 'Anything but LRT' isn't a logical position.
Again, I think the unpopularity of Ford in Toronto is hugely overstated. He has done nothing so far that would upset his voters in Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York and so on. His approval might have gone up with conservative voters, if anything.
I'm not saying Keesmaat is going to win but Chow comparison isn't accurate. in 2014 Tory was presented by the media as a golden opportunity to get rid of Rob Ford, so there was a lot of strategic voting in Tory's favour. There's no anything but Ford thing going at the moment this time around...
He's considered toxic in only some of Toronto. Remember his party elected 11 out of 25 MPPs. Heck, a significant portion of Toronto doesn't even consider what he's done bad.
Exactly. Giant, sprawling podiums with towers coming out of them also make for a very unwalkable area (Toronto's waterfront hoods, Fort York, City Place etc are very guilty of this).

You can always renovict them. I have been renovicted TWICE in only three years. It's not like landlords are the victims or that they are not fully taking advantage of the situation.
So let's stop with the 'LTB/rules favour tenants' thing. There are tools for landlords to exploit and they are...
OK this makes no sense because every person on the planet is a pedestrian. You're double/triple/quadruple counting stuff. By that logic every road in the city should be pedestrianized. Again, makes no sense. Every pedestrian that happens to live walking distance to work still needs the streetcar...
I guess Fords have run out men in the family so they are making the driver run for stuff now? He should have followed Michael's example and changed his last name to Ford as well. For all we know he might be the eventual mayor or future Conservative Premier.
