I think investigating intermediate stops on a train is a pretty stupid idea. I also think that SmartTrack will already stop at all stops. It may be an issue for buses, not for trains.

You missed the point - which is consideration of how women uses transit and factor that into public transportation and spaces. It's simply good planning - and straight up reinterpretation of my example to illustrate your supposed point just comes off as an attempt to cover up your own ignorance.

I've always wondered why that program is only for women travelling alone. Why are men not allowed to request a stop, and why wouldn't two women travelling together be qualified?

Are you one of those people who sees the words "gender equity" and automatically dismisses whatever comes after as rubbish? In any case, way to miss the point BurlOak. You're in good company with Rob Ford, who was one of only two who voted against the motion. Thanks AoD for two consecutive sharp rebuttals.

It's a safety measure for women travelling alone after 9PM, as she's at greater risk of assault than a man or two women.

I was speculating on what if.
What if Mayor Tory did not complete his first term? What if Mayor Tory did not run for a second term?
Who could defeat the FN candidate?

Didn't they expand it to everyone because of a Hunan rights complaint?

Despite Rob being an obstruction with his calls for recorded votes. In Rob's term, it took 51 hours to get through 9 items. As long as he can keep attending council meetings, he'll keep up this "lone wolf" nonsense, but eventually no one will care, not even CP2Ford, (not that many probably care now). The more likely scenario is that if the chemo hasn't made any improvement, we won't be seeing him in the future.

I think it's a moot point. I disagree that Ford Nation will be an enduring brand. Four years is a very long time. Rob has a worse than even chance of being dead by then, and an even worse chance of being disease-free then. I don't think Doug has the political smarts to do this all again, and he almost certainly will not have the necessary professional or financial backing.
It's certainly possible that some calamity will befall Tory that sees him out of the running in 2018. But if he doesn't complete his term, there will still be an incumbent who might be running. It's true that at this point there are no obvious other candidates, but it's a long way away.

Why should council be obligated to listen to Ford's request for recorded votes?

"A member may request a recorded vote on any matter and must make the request immediately before or after the vote is taken."

For the good of the City, I hope Mayor Tory keeps getting re-elected like Mayor McCallion did.

But the story died there, it was not really picked up by SAL or Worms so it was probably true. In this case "abuse" would be from adults in some form.

When I hear "osmosis" for some reason I think amoeba.
