    TTC: Sheppard Subway Expansion (Speculative)

    Not sure if this was posted already, but apparently the mayor is scaring centrists ahead of the vote by handing out photos of crashes involving light rail vehicles. (link) Fortunately, pro-LRT supporters won't be that silly to respond with images of Russell Hill or the number of accidents in...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Besides cutting off people on air, Ford does the same while doing retail-style campaigning. http://www.thegridto.com/city/politics/the-rob-ford-agenda-march-12%E2%80%9318-2012/

    TTC: Sheppard Subway Expansion (Speculative)

    Try manning the #topoli hashtag on Twitter. Play whac-a-mole with a handful of loud trolls. ;)

    TTC: Sheppard Subway Expansion (Speculative)

    Not so surprising that she declined to attend this time around. No one should have to put up with a group of circus monkeys torching them with nothing but insults. And to that blog post posted above, what do they have to say about the ethnic neighbourhoods downtown (or more precisely, Old Toronto)?

    That's quite hilarious.

    Transit City Plan

    Calgary has trains running on routes that a) intersect vehicular traffic at crossings, and b) does run mixed with buses on a street, from what I was told. Doesn't sound too different to Sheppard, although with many crossings.

    Sounds like a corrections job for CodeRedTO?

    Fords Working to Fire Webster, Stintz, Scrap Streetcars: Star

    Yup. The babbling idiot quacks again: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1141650--ttc-tim-hudak-urges-dalton-mcguinty-to-overrule-toronto-council-on-subways?bn=1 On a brighter note, I am very pleased with yesterday's result. Not sure of what the outcome of the Sheppard report...

    Fords Working to Fire Webster, Stintz, Scrap Streetcars: Star

    Not surprising but Stintz's motion (plus misc. motions) went through. Other two were redundant.

    Fords Working to Fire Webster, Stintz, Scrap Streetcars: Star

    If he wasn't a councillor he'd make a good satirist. For the nutty audience that is.

    New Transit Funding Sources

    My quotation was pointing at Hudak's rather silly motion to be tabled in the Ontario Parliament. Doubt it'll have much effect unless the NDP is overly refreshed on Tuesday. For someone whose riding hails from the Niagara region I doubt he knows more than Council over what's best for Toronto.

    www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/ttc-chair-plans-to-boot-ford-supporters-from-board-councillor/article2357124/ Excellent move. Steve Munro also has the names of two councillors who (barring any major surprises) will take up the last two councillor seats...

    New Transit Funding Sources

    Speaking of Hudak: http://torontoist.com/2012/03/queens-park-watch-provincial-pols-pick-sides-in-transit-wars/ For each passing day since last October, I'm reassured and relieved the province didn't elect this blithering (rural) moron into the premier's office.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    A meeting of three clowns produces... ideas for a north Etobicoke casino and new highways? http://www.thestar.com/news/cityhallpolitics/article/1139607--mayor-rob-ford-promises-no-new-taxes-to-help-fund-sheppard-subway That in addition to Ford once again denying an idea he raised privately.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    You're thinking of this: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/fords-kick-into-re-election-campaign-mode/article2349795/ Said statement is laughable, if the two bros think they've got all of Scarborough on their side. Etobicoke, eh maybe.

    Good. Hope it happens by year's end.

    Infuriating. Is there any way council can block such a move in time? It's bound to be the same 6 to 3 (?) result as in weeks prior.

    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    Did anyone look at the T1 and the Toronto Rocket side-by-side from the mezzanine (near the elevator) at Davisville? It looked as if the T1 was slightly taller.
