Changes seems to be coming for Eglinton East

Another pump and dump scheme by manipulating the stock market to enrich himself. He knows the markets will be red, buy the dip, backtrack on tariffs. Rinse and repeat

Can we tax our exports already? This is getting boring

Exactly, how long before Rodriguez consolidates power and calls Trump's bluff? Only boots on the ground will topple the Chavista movement and it would be a blood bath

One of the US obvious weakness - they have low tolerance for casualties. To topple the Cuban "government" (can we stop with the regime stuff?) - only boots on the ground will do it and US troops WILL DIE

For those wondering why Carney speech infuriated Trump this much... •Power resides where men believes it resides. That's what Carney took a swing at

The US will be going for Alberta first - regardless of that referendum results, they'll make a power move there (threats, recognition of Alberta sovereignty or something else completely crazy).

If we're talking scale - the US is the greatest evil in the world today. When the United States imposes sanctions or intervenes in another country’s internal affairs, it doesn’t just punish a government - it reshapes that country’s entire economic environment. Sanctions can isolate an economy...

We need to stop being nice about Americans and feel sorry for having Trump. A LOT of them are showing their true face now that Trump is there...he's the enabler allowing them to show what was always there. Couldn't agree more with this

So was Denmark & Greenland... Don't get too attached to Alberta...just saying

Wouldn't do a thing but we need to seriously occupy the north and build up infrastructure and cities. Surprisingly or not, Americans are under-equipped to fight in the north. The south would be lost but moving the battlefield to the north would make a military move not worth their while. Who am...

Can't say Canada's statement is all that surprising since we've participated in something similar ourselves - Haiti Second point, the sooner Canadians divorces the idea that we are somewhat special - the sooner we can make decisions in our national interest. Trump made it clear - we aren't...

Listening to the City Hall session - someone made a great point. That when the LRT was pitched it was supposed to be 33-34 minutes and their decision was based on that estimation. In retrospect, would the city have bought into the Finch LRT at current speed? Not sure... I got to say that it's...

Better speed, unimpeded by traffic lights on an artery such as Eglinton knowing TTC MO with operating rail vehicles at grade - yeah, the nutjobs had no clue in retrospect

Did such issue happen at the opening of a brand new line? I don't recall Sheppard having those issues on day 1.

It's crazy how demonized some of us were for having the audacity to say that Eglinton (and Sheppard East) should have been a subway and that they cooked the numbers (Neptis) to make sure LRT won over subway while excluding Skytrain/OL technology from the studies. How the table have turned...

This is hopeful like I wrote in the streetcar thread. Part of the motion is to have vehicles go faster than the road speed limit - which is a no brainer

I'm encouraged by the political will to make this happen, I think this time - we might have some real results. Politically, Chow chose her moment correctly. Line 6 was the bottom and she took the situation to push reforms across the board. Should she succeed in turning this around and people...

well, it will be an election year. Great timing and it will be hilarious watching her opponents advocating to kill signal priorities and keep transit slow to protect drivers

I mean isn't it obvious? Eglinton will be a 2-tier system based on what we're seeing on Finch. Trains are going to get short-turned at Don Valley due to the disparity in speed and service between the the Scarborough section and the tunnel section.
