I honestly think Dundas should be 30km where it changes from East/West to North South (right at St James Gate Pub). One of the most unsafe pedestrian crossings in the city. Motorists are remaining on Dundas from heading North to turning East bound (or West to south) and don't realize that...

I'm just saying at that time, if people made that same argument (which they did) we wouldn't have the some of the metropolises (or urban areas) that exist today. It's just a weird thing to pick this point in time, where we are now, to be so confident in thinking we should preserve certain the...

I don't disagree with this, but isn't this the case for all development? The most beautiful parts of City of Toronto, or any other urban centre, at one point were beautiful parts of an ecosystem where First Nations people lived off the land. This is a development forum.. I'm not sure the...

Honestly, just build simple structures that look like boxes, like the majority of the original TTC Subway stations, they work well. Private corps can build on top of them to create nice looking architecture. We should be worrying about functionality as opposed to vanity. I'd much rather have...

I mean, of all the poor planned/located SmartCentres in the City of Toronto, this is probable the one that fits the area the best. Highways, Hyrdo corridors, pollution surround it. If you are going to have a Smart Centre anywhere in Toronto, this would be the place to have it. And, what about...

Isn't this Smart Centre relatively new? When was this built, 10 years ago? Short lifespan.

For me it's that she doesn't live the life she seems to want to protect as a councillor. Allegedly, she owns many condos and properties, is a very wealthy woman. There's something to be said for this kind of greed, always wanting more. For someone who seems to be fighting against the wealth...

And a station at Royal York/Dundas would work too, since that part of Dundas is starting to fill in with mid-rises.

Nice map, but your definition of Northern Ontario ridings provincially is incorrect. You say "In Ontario, the provincial government uses the same boundaries for its provincial electoral districts, with the exception of Northern Ontario, where two additional seats help to compensate for the...

The school system is going to collapse. I've heard that certain GTA boards have 25%+ of teachers on medical leaves as it is, every day schools have open jobs (no teachers to cover), I can't see immune compromised staff returning (or staying) in schools with mask mandates lifted.

They should be doing all they can to get people riding GO trains, billions of dollars of infrastructure sitting virtually empty in a (post)COVID world. Even going forward, people will continue working from home, might have to commute 1x / week (if that). Nobody is going back to spending $$ on...

Haven't we learned from Dundas St that we should not be naming public entities after people. This goes for the Hurontario "Hazel" Line, too. In 50 years from now, I'm sure we'll be able to find something they've done that won't be socially acceptable in the future.

I think an area where the boundaries have kind of disappeared is between South Swansea and Humber Bay. The Gardiner, Parks by the lake, and Condos towers. People living at Windermere/The Queensway consider themselves to live at Humber Bay, and Park Lawn/Lake Shore has much more in common with...

Obesity is often a result of food addiction. Even if it isn't, choosing to eat a lot of bad food doesn't have an effect on me. And in a free society, you could be free to enjoy eating a lot of food if that's what you want to do. Getting vaccinated doesn't stop you from doing anything you want...

In North America? Do you have a source for this or examples? I thought I read on this forum precisely the opposite, that Toronto (GTA) has some of the lowest kms of toll-free highway per capita in North America.

I find it curious when people are so upset with what happened to the teacher in hijab in Quebec. We, in Ontario, have an entire school system that bans anyone wearing a hijab (or any other symbol other than the cross) from being employed. A teacher in Ontario in Hijab has about 35% fewer...

Yes, all true. But let's be honest, this is a highway that would mostly serve Brampton, Milton and (to a lesser extent) York region, the most immigrant (read non-white) areas of Ontario. These are areas, for whatever reason, financial (or otherwise) these communities have decided (and will...

This hasn't really happened here to the extent that one would assume, though. Toronto drivers have the longest commute times in North America, hours in their cars every day. if this hasn't convinced them to jump ship and change,I'm not so sure anything would make them 'adapt'. I think we...

I don't think anyone has advocated that wouldn't be the case, though? The alternative is current roads highways and arterials, continue to get worse, which is what I think he's trying to avoid. The GTHA has some of the lowest milage of highway per capita in North America. The population of the...

Only 158 parking spaces for 650 units - here in Etobicoke? Very dense node with no rapid transit options.
