Where do you get the idea that people didn't predict Ford? The polls had been showing a PC lead for a long time before and after Ford has become leader. There was a moment where the NDP seemed to be gaining but I don't think they ever actually came out in the lead in the polls.

My theory is that since the Liberals have regained Quebec they will form at least minority governments in perpetuity until somebody else manages to break through in Quebec. Everything else is just noise.

Are Hydrail trains faster than diesel? Because I feel like the main goal of this whole exercise is really to make the trains faster, while decarbonization is just a nice side benefit.

Getting rid of parking minimums doesn't mean developers would just stop building parking. They could still build however much parking they'd like.

I think the heart might be oriented so as to appear aligned with the default orientation on Google Maps/Earth.

The border facilities are really quite large and the project also includes improvements to the I-75 and some local roads on the US side. From https://www.wdbridge.com/en/project-overview-gordie-howe-international-bridge-project : Also this Windsor Star article claims that the towers...

Ontario won’t set limit on number of private marijuana stores

Are high school pools actually a thing? All my high school had was an ongoing joke where we'd tell 9th graders there was a pool on the non-existent third floor. Frankly replacing the high school pool with "luxury" condos will make the neighbourhood less bougie.

Ford suggests Ottawans want smaller city council

There was a referendum on electoral reform in Ontario in 2007 and one will soon be happening in BC.

For those curious, Mr.Rae thinks that Roy McMurtry would have allowed this to happen.

Generally it's expected in Westminster systems that Cabinet members won't publicly disagree with each other. I think it'd be unreasonable to expect any members of Ford's cabinet to come out and publicly disagree with him.

Something that I haven't seen talked about is that the federal riding boundaries don't have to align with Toronto's municipal boundaries. It's entirely possible a federal riding is drawn that is only partly in Toronto. What then?
