Why is Line 4 on Sheppard so disproportionately long (vs where it goes in reality)?

I am in Montreal this week by chance and can say there seems to be a positive, genuine excitement around REM. More than a couple people have unprompted mentioned how much they love it or how it has reduced their commute. The fact that it cuts right through downtown makes it seem more...

Are there expected to be more spin-off benefits for QC vs the rest of the country? I generally think of train building being something that they might benefit more from than would Ontario - but that may be incorrect. I have heard Ford's people saying this is not a priority for them.

I was driving along Eglinton around Don Mills / Leslie last night and saw one of the trains.

I have time for legitimate erosion concerns - but saving "rare plants" is the kind of plants before people wokism that gets the average person shaking their head. There is not a lot of natural space in our city, and we should be making every effort to enable people to enjoy those spaces. There...

^ genuinely do not understand what this means? Prices work to make supply equal demand. One is not really a problem per se - just a driver of change to get to equilibrium. Is the view that increasing population was the problem - or specifically demand for housing being driven by an investor...

re: H1B - its a big opportunity for places like Toronto if we are smart enough to take advantage of it.

Low ridership is an issue as it defines how much revenue the service can draw. I dont think it is the number of people a day in isolation - it is more about how much money it takes to run the service for that given number of riders. Yes, it will be subsidized like almost every other public...

How much would that add to the cost? (or would it potentially save costs if you could recycle/sell the material)

I am surprised this does not hit Ford's popularity more. Perhaps people in interested in the Eglinton Cross Town are already not Ford voters - but it is a really pretty bad example of government competence. If I was a provincial Liberal I would be beating him up more over it - thought I guess...

The selling point to these projects is actually less about funding billions of new dollars and more about streamlining regulatory red-tape that bogs things down. There will be $billions for this project at least, but what causes it to be 10x $billions is having to do a detailed process of every...

I see the confusion. People here are upset about the assumption that the stabber is homeless. This honestly did not occur to me so apologies for not understanding. I guess because the housing status of the stabber is completely irrelevant in this situation. That said, there clearly is still...

Who is the most vulnerable among us in this context? (genuine question - the stabber or the stabbed?) I guess the fact that one may come at this question from such different perspectives says a lot about the current debate. I would refer you to scroll through the TCC Service Alerts posts and...

What a delightful building.

The bins are gross - and when a city can't even do the most basic stuff it is a bad sign. I presume this was definitely not the cheapest option - but instead we spent a lot of dollars researching and compliancing the crap out of it before buying the Cadillac of garbage bins - but then they dont...

^ I don't think that is it - and seems to personalize it unnecessarily. People are generally going to ask themselves if things are better since Chow took office or worse? We need to recognize this site is not going to be representative of the broader public. I am not a pollster - but I...

Lake Ontario...so COLD!

For me, this is everything wrong with our city and our society more broadly as this is not unique to Toronto. All these salaries is just to manage a homeless tent encampment for which I think we all no none of which will have a tangible impact. Do you honestly think the tents will leave on...

Peak woke is cresting at various places in different rates. Peak meaning the farthest extent before some reactionary retrenchment (back to common sense?).

Fair competition is the core essence of our economic/social system. Creating a monopoly is likely to make it more expensive and less efficient/responsive.
