Um, Ritalin's about behaviour modification, it doesn't make you smarter. If it causes one to be more focused in class, all it's doing is affording the hyperactive student the same chances at excelling as everyone else. You wouldn't tell the amputeed kid who beat you in a sprint race that he...

I heard awhile ago it was the loss of surface crossings at John and King streets that a number of senior citizens in the area were concerned about regarding Blue 22. If the best interest of both local residents and airport travellers is to be met, it'd seem an Eglinton subway could meet it...

But do we really want to set a precedent for ever-meandering subways with no end in sight? When would we allow BRT to take over? In all honesty the 905 suburbs would be better off building their own subways rather than piecemealing onto Toronto's. Anyone wanting a Square One subway should...

That sounds alot like parts of Toronto that are on the direct radar of the subway network. I'm sure the homes on Bloor St will never be razed for condos and yet we've got a bonafide subway there with even a feeeder route and some density via a few high rises within walking distance. Centre-John...

For emphasis. As recenting as 2003 gays in this country (that's right O Canada) were not afforded the same legal rights as heterosexual couples. Even since Harper's election he's tried to veto and re-outlaw gay marriage. These are near current events, just showing that if a world leader...

Hey, you're preaching to the choir man. I personally have no problems with being gay, my catch 22 is an exaggeration of what really goes on beyond the tourist villages that white visitors don't see. About the black analogy, yes it wouldn't be tolerated in Canadian society but there are...

Darth Nader, :D:D lol!

Realistically neither Mississauga nor York Region really need a subway extension. What they do need is either subway line distinctly their's or to embrace the marvelous infrastructure that is BRT/LRT. What makes the 905 think that adding on 7 more stops to a 32-stop BD line is practical I don't...

I can't win can I :rolleyes:?!?

Blue 22 was buried years ago. The name permeates around here only because no other proposal has arisen since its cancellation. The Eglinton Crosstown Line was always intended to terminate at Pearson in spite of another branch heading into Mississauga appearing on official documents. I believe...

Sorry if I ruffled any feathers. This is a very sensitive topic issue for me because both my parents are Jamaican-born (myself am second generation Jamaican-Canadian). While I readily admit Jamaica's overtly homophobic, in all the seven years I spent there I haven't known of a substantiated hate...

Welcome to the Land of No Self-Identity, Culture or Heritage. Ontario essentially defines itself by what it is not- anti-American, anti-French, anti-unilateral- as such antithetical norms dictate that we've expropiated these other nationalities as our own and alotted a generation of...

From a fellow black person's perspective, yes indeed :(.

Given that Sherway Gardens is in the natural path of any future subway expansion you should be glad you bought in before condo prices in that area balloon. I get your headaches with the 123 along congested Dundas + subway combo as I live even further out of town and don't take well to multiple...

The Wall Street Journal has alot of good info regarding the presidential race. Right now Clinton has a 256/187 lead on Obama from the superdelegates, largely comprised of Democratic National Commitee members and 81 Congressmen. However, many dels are already jumping ship though so sups may...

I wonder if it ever dawned on anyone in the planning process to consider building or at least setting aside room for additional tracks in the future? A DRL would be alot more feasible notion had they done this.

I guess that explains: "by the by" But just to shift things back a bit, do you guys think it's more important to have immediate density surrounding a subway station or to build subways that have greater significance to feeder bus routes that ferry in several times the number of commuters that...

Some people just can't grasp observational humour, I suppose :cool:!

More importantly... what if there's a blackout and your class is on the fifty-seventh floor, :p lol!

Well in pre-on par dollar connotation, the fact that Toronto's has an active tourism campaign and noteworthy attractions while Rochester's a dying coastal enclave, could have meant more tourists coming from Stateside than vice-versa, hence more greenbacks in our pockets. If the Grand Prix...
