Of course it will. Look at how overcrowding at the Yonge-Bloor station forced the City to fix it.

What Neutrino said. Also pervasive use of speed cameras with zero tolerance enforcement 100 percent of the time. After spending the winter in Sydney, where Big Brother is always watching you drive, I’m having a hard time adjusting to Toronto’s relative free for all on the roads.

Well, the salt water is half the battle.

Hey, we should plant mangrove trees!

Because Toronto.

Score one for Godwin.

Double the traffic? They’d probably quadruple it.

Too bad. That would have been a dramatic addition to the skyline.

The cones are certainly a Toronto touch.

Preferably without the pickpockets.

Is there any way for the TTC to restore the integrity of its fare collection without charges of systemic racism, the inevitable investigation by the provincial human rights commission, and a Charter case ending up in the Supreme Court? I’d suggest that the answer is no for all practical...

Rather difficult to achieve in a sub-Arctic climate.
