Because an outdated venue needs an outdated idea

I'm speaking mostly of non-Ontario rural communities. Maybe it's changed as @PinkLucy has alluded to, but throughout parts of Atlantic Canada it's still very easy to find TH locations that are the meeting-point for small towns staffed by the old girls who have been there for thirty+ years. I...

We'll see if PIF has any money to build stadiums between now and then. I mean, you could say this about almost every WC going back to 2010 at least.

They ride a very fine line. The people that work Tim's in rural areas are not the same as those who work in urban areas. I'm sure the franchise owners who were lobbying MPs on relaxing foreign worker rules were urban or suburban location franchisees.

The only limitation is our unwillingness to build infrastructure. Nothing you've posted disputes that neither are "downtown". One too many, IMO. What are the stops, East Harbour and Guildwood? Oshawa?

Kind of. In cities with multiple train stations and multiple modes of trains it isn't always the case that high-speed trains travel "downtown". Generally they just get you to the city and then the rest of the system does the work getting you to where you need to go in the city. Shanghai-Beijing...

Not sure we need text next to pictograms that describe what is where. People know what the icon for 'Washrooms' is.

The tower is nice but the podium is bafflingly bad. Appreciate the wider sidewalk for the streetcar stop, although having two stops so quick in succession seems redundant now.

An easy solution to this issue is to have one custodial staff responsible for each WC set, so that there's always eyes on it and so they're usually clean.

This is literally what saunas are, though. Whether people will be diving into the harbour for the cool period is another thing..

Certainly looks like more of an actual system with the 5 and 6 lines added, though, even if they're still partially imaginary.

The team has had plans to build its own stadium since its very inception in 2018/2019. No real progress has been made that anyone outside the team is aware of. I'd be impressed if they were able to do either this or renovate Lamport but i'm not holding my breath at this point.

Immigrants are not the monolith you're making them out to be.

FIFA are less strict than the IOC, who IIRC have had stories in the past of going after businesses with "Olympic" in their name in host cities. I think there was a pizza place in Vancouver that was approached by the IOC in their leadup?

They've added stars, too! Very festive 🎄

You left out the best one ;)

CTV really got everyone with that clickbait, huh? In my view, Carney is looking like an old school East Coast Progressice Conservative more than anything else: supportive of social programs whilst simultaneously boosting military spending. Social good if it comes with economic benefit. If its...

I was under the impression St Lawrence was maintaining its current branch and the branch at Queen & Parliament would be net-new.

GDP is a pretty useless standard by which to compare, anyway. Happiness and fulfillment in life can be sought after and attained without looking at life through a neoliberal, capitalist lens. Simply a standard to make wealthy enclaves look enticing.

They do at every location i've been to. Forced to deposit my bags at the door each time, especially at the one on Laurier in Ottawa.
