    VIA Rail

    So what we did was deal with FastFrate to handle our intermodal - Toronto to Vancouver, then on to Seattle or Portland. We actually got good customer service. I guess because they have preferred terminal access, and are picking up the last mile, they were able to arrange things that we simply...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    This is no longer completely true. COVID and remote work has probably changed QEW traffic patterns moreso than any other highway in the GTA. The route from Oakville to 427 has improved significantly in both directions, AM and PM rush. Especially on certain days of the week when there are more...

    Why do police have to stand at construction sites?

    The police are charging their time to the builder, or film production company, or whomever. It's a racket, but it isn't being paid for by taxpayers. P.S: TPS charges $90/hr, with a $270 minimum, for a constable. If you need 4 or more constables, then you also need to hire a Sergeant.

    Planned Sprawl in the GTA

    Let's also not forget that the people we are hearing from who spout this kind of nonsense are still an absolute fraction of the population. Yes, mass social media is toxic, but even the people we are all interacting with on it or the internet in general are not the silent majority.

    Exactly right. There are significant quantities of metal, glass, fabricated frames, etc. It complicates bringing new people on board, because they will obviously price it high, as no one wants to deal with trying to sort so much material and drawings. It is easier to start fresh. Westbank has...

    Keep in mind that a large percentage of that 92% come from Caribbean nations, and you can guess how their ancestors arrived there.
