    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    I think they should have gone back to their Hamilton roots for this one and looked at the famous "Roma Pizza" made by Roma Bakery, which has become ubiquitous in the Hamilton area. It's a more dense and bread-like crust spread out on a regular rectangular baking sheet, then a thick coating of...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    There's a special train wrap to be used for the Lakeshore lines. There's also apparently going to be "surprise giveaways" on the Lakeshore trains and at "select" GO stations on game days. And of course extra trains pre and post games, including both home and away games because the traditional...

    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    Oh boy. https://www.cp24.com/news/tim-hortons-launches-pizza-nationally-to-stretch-the-brand-to-afternoon-night-1.6848551 "The chain says cheese, pepperoni, "bacon everything" and chicken Parmesan flatbread pizzas will appear on its menu Wednesday." Guesses on how long until this one comes...

    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    I never pass it at lunch, only in the evening and on weekends and I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a customer inside it. I wonder if this is an issue of a landlord requiring operating hours that are far beyond reasonable for the space? Like they insisted it must open seven days a week and a...

    There is a large fake plate market going now too.

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    Wasn't there a time you could get pure alcohol, or something very close to it from the LCBO? I'm guessing intended uses were for in cooking or baking by restaurants.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    Not for the large majority. What you really need to accurately make claims in these circumstances is the equivalent to "same-store sales" used in retail, which I don't know if it exists out there, though it sounds difficult to obtain. But you can easily have GPD/capita rising for the majority...

    LOL. The fun of choosing your starting and ending points to manufacture a narrative. Very legacy media of the Economist.

    Hamilton 1 Jarvis Street | 49.5m | 14s | Emblem Developments | Studio JCI

    Wow. To use an old trope, but accurately, this is what people who know nothing about design and aesthetics think that people who know design and aesthetics think is good.

    We must have been there at the exact same moment.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Correction! It now appears we are getting the dumbest possible outcome. There are two sets of mini signals

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    For those above wondering about the issues of the signage, the new ones have now been installed above the mini signals and they say simply "Transit and Authorised Vehicles Signal" So it's a catch all sign that will actually allow the main light to stay red at all times of day with a separate...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Yes. They are there and very busy with the overwhelming majority who don't use delivery apps. Maybe he goes to a grocery store like a grown up? Your original thesis was that Toronto was non-viable as a "livable city" without food delivery drivers. That is so far into farce it's not possible to...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    What? The overwhelming majority have never and still don't use GO to commute to Toronto. What? The overwhelming majority still don't use food delivery apps.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Geriatrics like me remember the old days when there were no apps like those to use, like six or seven years ago. The stone age, basically. People starved to death routinely, I figure. How did people even find a way to eat in that archaic distant past where food wasn't brought to you on a whim...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Attempts to make this into "Toronto's George Floyd Moment" by the local Outrage Groups on social media is all that is excessive here. That his name is linked so casually now is astounding.
