How are you so sure the province didn't know about this beforehand? I find that hard to believe... Although there were eclipse messages posted on the 401 electronic message boards that they also quickly reversed (about working from home) claiming they were not approved... I'm seeing a pattern...

Are these decisions made with any data? I'm just suprised I haven't seen anything than: we want to make trains faster, and we're reversing because the public doesn't like it. So far I've seen that (hardly) faster is about a couple of minutes as trains still need to slow when passing...

I've never used (as I'm never in an appropriate zone/time), but on demand ridership was down; some is attributed to technical challenges (not accounting for customers boarding time for example). They increased the dwell time which helped w/reliability, but reduces capacity of course...new hours...

Even if we didn't fire/terminate... more infuriating: got an 8 percent raise in '22 and almost 19 percent in '23...received about 200k more since covid (2020 - now making over 560k) which is in itself a comfortable salary for an individual. Source What message are we sending when people are...

++poisson d'avril is april fools for the non francophiles...

Why don't you read what you wrote lol...in jest, maybe a subway to my house! :) Just to compare current state, it's about 1hr Kennedy Go to Oshawa Go. 45 from Scarborough to Oshawa. Points north can catch go busses along the 401/407. Are you really saving much time? Maybe if you hit transfers...

This confuses me. It wouldn't even abut any property... Any section that does, is already paved (around the playground).

A path is an understatement. Just make sure to wash your bike after this one as it can get a bit mucky. I ride it anytime I take the waterfront trail, and it's also recommended route when I navigate...on a mbt of course :) Still not as bad as the trails immediately west off Brimley...

Probably because it's unfinished There were a couple of times last year I had to double back from Morningside Park and up to Ellesmere (via Morningside) as they closed the entire site off... Painful detour.... Openstteetmaps is the way to go here for navigation with Komoot and the like if you...

I've ridden this a handful of times last year. It's actually unfinished further West your arrow up top where there is coarse gravel & stone (nearly impossible to ride on). You can see the transition to gravel from asphalt just beyond the bridge in the picture prior to this. This is also a...

They also didn't accept any cards last time I was there... Cash only? Was taken aback.

Well we're stuck with 1.6 percent increase in funding (versus 2) for the year. Pickering councillors Brenner and Cook tried to even get it to 3 percent but lost it 26-2. Nice to know there is advocates for good service but they'll have to work to get support...

The sunshine list is out. Interesting that both the OPG CEO and CS(strategy)O salary were over the cap of $1.5 million imposed on Hydro one by the Ford government. Top 5: From here.

I will also add that some are switching to electricity to heat homes with heat pumps - they are simply more efficient. Enbridge and the feds put up rebates for those to switch - those programs have already wound down, because the money was all used up. Source

Electrification is mainly for those with campers/RVs no?
