I thought NORAD already did this, no? This doesn't actually concern me all that much.....firefighters from both countries cross the border to help each other all the time. The devil's probably in the details, but I don't think at first glance that this is really a threat. Seems more like...

The advantage, of course, of any kind of legal proceedings is that the government can skirt serious questions on this issue behind the veil of "It would be inappropriate to comment as the matter is before the courts" or something along those lines. This suing business is really, really...

Harper threatens to sue Dion over Cadman allegations The Globe and Mail GLORIA GALLOWAY Globe and Mail Update March 3, 2008 at 10:41 AM EST OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper shot back at the Liberals over the Chuck Cadman affair Monday, filing a notice of libel suit against...

Flaherty has basically told business not to invest in Ontario. Unbelievable. After calling McGuinty the small man of Confederation for demanding fair representation for is province. After telling cities the government isn't in the pothole business. This is the same government that promised a...

There are also some 18th-century cannons outside Hart House at U of T. http://www.fs.utoronto.ca/news/cannons.htm

from The Wall Street Journal article: Party rules created superdelegates in 1982 as a potential check against an unelectable nominee from outside the mainstream. These individuals, who can vote as they choose, include all Democratic members of Congress, governors, Democratic National...

So if 75 per cent of funding for the $855,000 cost is going to come from "other sources" does this mean the city's portion will only be $213,000-ish? Doesn't seem outrageous? As far as the bet goes....I think Bloor Street streetscape will definitely get done first, there is so much momentum...

Technically, Brockton Village goes north to Bloor, east to Dufferin, and west/south to the rail line. In the 1980s, a bunch of students at Bloor Collegiate Institute led a drive to get "Village of Brockton" signs put up in the neighbourhood -- most people I knew thought we lived in Parkdale...

I didn't mean to suggest that the two taxes were the same. And I would never suggest that businesses or people pay no property taxes in years when they lose money -- property taxes pay for roads and pipes and police, all of which get used regardless of the state of the economy. But their...

Circa's having a fundraiser for the InsideOut film festival on March 27 (that's a Thursday). Haven't been to the club yet, but I really like that it's so mixed.

I think this is on oversimplification. In my experience, people emigrate to other countries more for economic reasons and less for religious -- but of course no two stories will be the same. If the vast majority of immigrants really wanted to get away from everything they left behind, then I...

I'm surprised the Montreal Board of Trade has invested so much in this. They risk egg on their face if they make getting Boardwalk the only desirable outcome -- what happens if they only get as far as Marvin Gardens? Then the director has to resign in shame for not laying claim to the...

With more and more people working from home, what does "income producing" property mean anymore?

My issue is with the refund, not with the assessment going forward. I wouldn't claim to understand the complexity of the system well enough to argue for or against. My point is more with the refund. To your point, if they work out a fair process moving forward, then I don't think an industry...

This could be kind of scary if the city has to "refund" any money. Very, very scary considering the big six banks make record profits ($19.5 billion) again in 2007 -- even with big writedowns because of the subprime mortgage problem in the U.S. Forcing the city with its current financial...

A couple of people have mentioned the opportunity this provides to redevelop the CNE grounds but I'm not aware of any development plans that were being held back because of this event. I know the city is looking long term at what to do with the area, but I highly doubt the fate of this race...

Ghettoing to some, Manhattanization to others.

That's the same line that's supposed to serve the Pickering Airport, too, right? Hm, I wonder which will get built first... :rolleyes:

It makes most sense, imo, to try and build as much mixed-use density as close to the stations as possible. The feeder bus routes can be rerouted anywhere, including to a station where there is significant walk-in traffic, so why create and pay for maintaining another station just to catch a...

Or we could marry it with Pride and give new meaning to Drag Racing.
