I know this is probably what you're going for, but I must say it: this is the epitome of username and post combinations.

This argument might hold water on Finch, because the distance between Finch and the hydro corridor is pretty significant in some cases. However, on Eglinton West? Are you kidding me? The corridor is literally right next to the street. Would you say that the Bloor-Danforth line, being just north...

Everything has to start somewhere. Take a look at an old Blue Night map, like this one. Note how the suburban transit services consist of Yonge, Bloor, Danforth, and Lakeshore, with nothing else to cover the other huge expanse. Sure, there is dense service downtown, but Toronto actually has a...

I noticed this a while ago, and I think I have a solution. With the Jane LRT, given ROW problems, it'll probably be underground south of that general area anyway. Alternatively, it will run down the rail corridor to Dundas West, thus having no LRT service on that area of Jane Street at all. I...

Holy shit. Please, please, for the love of god, someone make this happen. Also, take pictures. It will go down in forum history. Thank you.

I never said that this topic came out of nowhere. I'm saying that rolling with it will virtually guarantee ten plus pages of arguing, personal attacks, and misinformation/anecdotal evidence from all sides. Because of all this, the original topic of the thread will be completely lost in the...

I'd just stop discussing the religious part entirely. I've been using the internet for most of my life, and I have never once seen a discussion about religion turn into anything but a huge argument culminating in pages upon pages of line-by-line analysis, personal attacks out the wazoo, and the...

Oh hey, we're arguing about religion. I sense that this thread is going in a good direction! :rolleyes: *grabs popcorn*

That would kick ass. I can see it now. A disgruntled worker sneaks into the propane depot and threatens to blow up the whole building. The SRU attempts to talk him down over the course of the show, however, it's all for nought. In the end, he blows up the depot, killing himself and destroying...

From someone's Livejournal (i.e. not my picture): Pardon my French, but holy fucking shit.

This has nothing to do with religion. They're just a bunch of real life trolls looking for as much publicity as they can get. Chances are they won't even get into the country. They've tried once, and that ended in them all being arrested and told they'd be charged if they ever entered Canada...

A subway... to the Island Airport. ...seriously?

If he is genuinely mentally disturbed and did not understand what he was doing (which seems likely, given the facts of the matter), I don't think he should go to prison. Does that mean I think he should be set free? Hell no, he needs to be locked away in a mental hospital for a long, long time...

Because maybe commuters might want to support it? Or people who visit the city frequently? I live in Hamilton, but I'm in Toronto once a month or so to visit friends in Scarborough. An Eglinton subway would be extremely useful to me in that situation, given how close they live to the proposed...

Now, I don't know all the details here, but don't you think that passing judgement this early is a bit out of line? Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, the guy who stabbed someone to death with a butcher knife, sawed his head off, and then started attacking other passengers on a crowded...

Might I propose you make the group public? It's currently only open to members in Toronto, and this is of interest to people living outside the city as well.

The capacity of BRT is considerably lower than LRT unless bypass lanes are included for express operation. That takes up far more road space than what's available in Toronto in most cases. In addition, operating costs are lower over the long term, especially given the rising cost of gas that is...

The emphasis is mine. We're talking about the same TTC that wants to tunnel under empty, government owned fields up in Vaughan for the Spadina extension. I'm not sure where I stand on this whole issue, but I'm enough of a realist to know that, regardless of the technology, the TTC will handle it...
