"Air Canada suspends 6 routes 'no longer economically feasible' amid jet fuel cost crisis" https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/air-canada-jet-fuel-flights-9.7167904 Hey, G&M, PP and co: tell me again why we don't need high speed rail...

But they are aiming to prevent the project altogether, they are not trying to improve it

Perhaps they are all beholden to the fossile fuel industry, like Peter Mansbridge ... God forbid we create an efficient and fast way to travel between major metropolitan areas that does not depend on jet fuel. You would think that this is a no-brainer in the current energy crisis.

Halle-f*-lujah!

Yes, but the 500 comments under his piece are kind of frightening

And yet the Globe (Andrew Coyne) seems to be coming out against it

The bridge could not be "cut" without canceling the whole project -- it's the only way to connect to the existing railpath, which ends at the junction of the Kitchener and Barrie GO lines. The only way to continue is to bridge over the Barrie GO. You may be thinking of a connection over the...

I don't think you meant "urban" here? One could argue that the effects of not reducing carbon emissions disproportionally affect rural dwellers who are exposed to flooding and wildfires in ways that most Torontonians are not. So reducing carbon emissions benefits everyone.

Some people might even disagree that building the 407 was for the general good

It does bring benefits by reducing carbon emissions from trips that would otherwise be done by car or by air

You may be right on the coding part, I can't judge that. But I am an academic and I completely disagree with your assessment of LLMs as an academic search tool. A few weeks ago I had a text that cited two books that were purportedly written by me, but which do not exist! it combined my name with...

Sorry, I have yet to see an LLM-produced text that does NOT hallucinate sources. It's a text-prediction machine, it doesn't understand anything about the content (unlike Wikipedia editors)

Like Stephen Colbert once said, reality has a well-known liberal bias

School shootings are also a social trend. Doesn't mean they should be legal.

Because this trend started as American manufacturers aimed to employ loopholes in American fuel and emissions regulations. Thousands of people have died as a result.

I for one am sick of oversize American SUVs and pickup trucks that are a danger to the safety of anyone outside of them, whether on foot, bike or in a smaller car. If Chinese manufacturers can help drive Ford and Dodge out of business, I will cheer them on.

This would be incredibly stupid as it would reduce airport access for people transferring from lines 2 (at Bloor) or 5 (at Mt Dennis). There are many people traveling to and from the airport who have no need to go all the way to Union!

I wonder if this renewed closure of the railpath between Bloor and Perth/Sterling is related to the construction of new apartment developments at the two lots at 72 Perth and at the corner of Perth and Bloor. I noticed that there is currently no fence between 72 Perth and the railpath (see...

"expected to continue as before" -- I take that to mean that the Railpath won't reopen until 2028

Case in point: the Ontario line going from Queen & Spadina to King & Bathurst
