Getting a little off-topic, but Peter Thomson is a new part-owner of Mosport. https://www.insauga.com/historic-ontario-racetrack-sold-to-member-of-canadas-richest-family/

It seemed like the NHL was just looking for any excuse to reject the Hamilton bid (which had its arena already built) in favour of Ottawa, and it turned out to be the Hamilton bid responsibly saying it could pay the expansion fee in installments (supposedly 2, each of $25 million), which they...

I would say someone climbing down onto the subway tracks (particularly multiple times) is clearly dangerous to themselves. I'm not sure what the supposed effective "treatment" would be, other than not letting them freely wander around to keep doing it. Star Trek isn't real. Unfortunately there...

I would prefer that the province spend millions to open and staff more psychiatric institutions, if there aren't enough. From what I can see, the main problem here seems to be that the individuals with severe mental issues repeatedly causing the problems and delays on the TTC are apprehended...

Instead of the mockable "Downtown Markham", it appears that "Markham Centre" is now the term being used for this area. https://www.markham.ca/sports-recreation-fitness/ontario-honda-dealers-indy-markham...

It was in at least two other threads here last week. ( 1 , 2 )

One of the more interestingly-named things I've heard of in the area is a real elementary school in Milton with the fake (stage? ring? "kayfabe"?) name of a professional wrestler from the 1960s and '70s. Google street view link

I saw the "1660 Bloor" sign being installed earlier this week. 20 Nov 2025

That's from the rendering they purposefully note as "subject to change". Along with the bridge not being shown in the map in the video, it's then also not mentioned when it goes over the different parts of the station that are being built. And I certainly see no sign of it getting built yet...

The article and video both fail to mention the proposed pedestrian/multi-use bridge across Bloor St, as shown in earlier renderings, that was supposed to provide easier access to the Lansdowne TTC entrance via Wade Ave.

Since it opened in 2007, I've been at BMO Field several times during November, December, and March, and never once while sitting there watching a game had a thought along the lines of "they really need to fill in those corner parts of the stadium". Somehow I doubt supposedly blocking the wind...

I heard John Tory on radio say he was at the Canada/Ecuador game last night and he noted that the northern gates now being shut off had huge line-ups to enter the stadium at the other gates. I knew enough to go to Gate 3B at the middle of the south side which had the smallest line-up, and...
