How? Is there another corner with that moniker in this city?

So? Why does it bother you so much?

The original Yonge line (Union to Eglinton) was barely 7km in length and did just fine. It had no interchanges. Sure. But enough to justify the added cost of making it 3x the length? Not likely. Great swaths of Sheppard in the late 90s when the line was being planned was nothing but SFH. Even...

Perhaps you missed the period in 2008 where we nearly closed the Sheppard line completely because we massively overbuilt capacity without the ridership to justify it? We built based on wishes and projections (and votes) and it ended up being a huge money sink, and still is some 22 years later...

oh FFS.

The Downtown Yonge BIA perhaps?

Because the latter is generalizing? On top of which we’re not talking about Ghanaian people. Sankofa is not a racist word. Same reason we don’t fight against the word Hamburger, even though the Germans got famous for being some of the biggest bigots of the early 20th century. It’s a German...

The biggest thing slowing down emergency vehicles is the density of cars in their way. Lower the number of cars on the road, and there's no reason for emergency vehicles to hop onto the tracks.

Forklift drivers have to renew their certification every three years, with several hours of mandatory training and a test. Cars are the largest killer outside of health conditions, and their license is renewed almost indefinitely based on a single test taken when most drivers were still children.

$5 says they also claim their location is in Yorkville. :P

Until a government in power in this country wins with a clear majority of the popular vote; any alternative is paranoia-fodder for election planners. But we can't wait. We have to demand it from our politicians.

Limeridge drips of “generic suburban mall”. If there’s anything Simons has been good at, it’s been avoiding the generic by aiming for high end malls or unique urban locations. If there were anywhere in Hamilton I’d see one going, it’s downtown somewhere near Jackson Square.

As much as I appreciate Wan being in the neighbourhood, I can’t say I felt it was anything to write home about. Walking in, it has absolutely zero charm and felt like any generic small grocery store out of the late 1980s. Every time I’ve been in, aisles have been impeded with boxes on boxes of...

This is Toronto. They send six or more cruisers every time someone's having a mental health crisis. If it wasn't mentioned on the TPS Operations twitter account, that's likely what it was. They need to justify their budget somehow.

By "financial fraud" do they mean scams? ...like, say, OPC fundraising letters? https://ca.news.yahoo.com/ontario-pc-fundraising-letters-labelled-165532508.html

Being outside of Toronto is not a factor either. There are encampments all over Durham county. It’s obvious our demonize and raid strategy just doesn’t work and only stands to make the situation worse. Why continue spending money doing something that has never shown to improve the situation?

And that's why we have averages.

Because one almost entirely benefits individuals with money, where the other stands to benefit everyone? Show me low-income discounted car, gas and insurance rates. Instead, the cost of owning and operating a car just keeps increasing multitudes faster than inflation. Pfft. When I decided I...

Not my calculation. This comes from finance company Ratehub. https://www.thestar.com/business/how-much-are-canadians-paying-per-month-on-average-to-own-a-car-heres-what/article_a457f8e2-c2bb-11ee-b93b-2f3e8fa2fb1d.html

No, but transit construction in North America is painfully slow. Spain can build incredibly fast; why can’t we?
