    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Actually this has more to do with the public inquiry from Ottawa after their LRT debacle. They are trying to avoid a repeat of that incident. True but at the same time, if the signal system fails or a train gets stuck somewhere underground that is not a good thing. That will cause more...

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Personally, I would rather them delay the opening than risk a full on operational disaster. They know that Line 5 is under intense scrutiny and that any operational hiccups will be headline news. Think about it, if the line has delays on the first day or other issues the media would have a...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Where to begin.. You cannot put a train on top of the existing train shed without extensive modifications. With all the work recently done, I can't see that happening given the cost and disruption. Also.. how would you build anything elevated in the downtown core without knocking down some...

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    Trust me. They are seeing the light. The Tiszá party is making headway now that people are seeing the close ties to Trump and Putin. Hungarians are a proud people, they were invaded and occupied for centuries but retain a desire for self-governance. When I was there in July there was a clear...

    That may change in April.

    The Retail Apocalypse

    That may be the last of them. Honestly, Toys 'R' Us has not been good since the late 80s and early 90s. With the advent of online shopping, social media and an ever changing landscape it is hard to keep up. Think about it. Trends and toys change so quickly now, it's not like the 90s where...

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    I kind of agree with you on that one. I used to go there when I worked nearby in 2022 and recently it has gone downhill.

    Blue Jays

    I wish him the best but he is going to have problems. He's slow to get started and the pitch clock killed him. Great player but not a good fit for the MLB. I can see him heing DFA'd by the first half of the season.

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    Not sure where to put this but here seems most apt. Apparently Tim Hortons was seeking more temporary foreign workers and expedition with visa paperwork for their employees. For me personally, it sours me on Tim's a bit. I feel like they are out of touch with reality and not grasping their...

    Shoppers would be a welcome addition there. They are somewhat in a druggist void there.

    Watch it open on the day where we have a snowstorm rivalling January 16/17th 2022

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    So.. are we just going to assume that at some point in the next 12 months the US will invade Central America? I wonder though.. if Trump attempts to pull a Gulf of Tonkin style incident will Congress, The Senate and Supreme Court stand idly by? While the GOP is drinking the orange Kool-Aid I...
