    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    It’s too late. I suspect Furey will win here.

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    That’s 100% right. The developers rule this country because they can make donations to political parties for favours. It’s called legalized corruption and that’s how it works in Western democracies. Always has and will continue to do so.

    VIA Rail

    Do it old fashioned TTC style, go to Dollarama and buy some Bristol board and highlighters and manually write the status…

    Toronto 4949 Bathurst Street | 137.95m | 39s | Density Group | RAW Design

    This it the NE corner not the NW corner, that corner had the Northview high school field. Interesting area for a high rise. It’s been a while since there was construction in this area.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Why would Ford call an election when he has just under 2 years left. He will want to have an election and cut ribbons on two new LRTs and some other major project completed. What’s the advantage to trigger an early election when he has a solid majority and can do what he wants as the opposition...

    Exactly. Let the private sector come in and do some great things like we see in the U.S. with Brightline.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I know the TTC has been neglected for decades. I also agree that Presto is a rip off but it’s here and it’s convenient and it’s mostly working now. I don’t see the need for cash management now by the TTC as that has a high labour cost. That’s why I think the fare needs to go up to cover the loss...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    Lack of maintenance and neglect. That is the TTC in a nutshell.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I would get rid of the collectors and abolish the cash fare and the seniors discount. Seniors should pay the same rate as everyone else. The only concession we should offer are for students and for low income. I would also support a fare increase to make the adult fare $3.50 if it meant we can...

    VIA Rail

    I said the organization is decrepit which it is. I didn’t say anything about cancelling service. Canadians need much better service - not the lame excuse for a train service that we get. It’s a joke. It is time to disband Via. Split it up - have another agency run it or take it private. Or a...

    VIA Rail

    I really hope that Via gets shut down. It’s a decrepit organization and can’t even run a basic few set of lines on time or deal with issues.

    Toronto Leslie Lookout Park | ?m | ?s | CreateTO | CCxA

    Cool. Thank you! I’ll try to check it out. Looks like a cool new place.

    Where is this park exactly?

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    I’d suggest at least taking it from Bathurst to Jarvis, the lake to Bloor.

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    You are optimistic. Transit won’t be fixed by 2025. The traffic on Lakeshore seems to be a permanent mess now.

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    Tolls are hard to do in Toronto since we have no alternatives . Focus should be to make transit and cycling work smoothly and then one can raise funds through parking tolls. Simply doubling the parking fees or putting a $20/day parking spot tax downtown core will do the trick.

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    Traffic downtown is actually less than it was before the pandemic but it feels like it’s more because all the major roads are under construction and the flow has been constrained to a trickle. Adelaide is down to basically 1 lane through the financial district. University is a gong show around...

    Canadian airline industry (general discussion)

    We have no choice but to fly AC if you live out east or travel internationally. There are few choices especially if you want to fly direct. AC has its fault for delays but their frequency of service is hard to beat. This is where Porter and WestJet can’t compete. If I need to fly to a certain...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    The entire TTC board and leadership should resign for this debacle frankly. We have 2.5 subway lines and we can’t even keep the tracks maintained. The TTC has always had slow zones but never this broad and for this long. Did all the maintenance people retire and the new replacements are...

    2022/24 Russian-Ukrainian War

    No Pro-Kremlin talking points just reality on the ground. What you say is true but the small damage being done in Kursk won’t have much impact on the strategic lands Russia is slowly gaining in Donetsk oblast. Yes Russia is sending teenagers but it cares not as they have more men to churn...
