Bogtrotter: Great post, with several key points, especially... and...

Nope, not in the least, unfortunately. Pep'rJack is just totally frustrated and pissed with the obvious stupidity of not making speed top priority when expanding and 'improving' the system. Right. Who disputes this? Some grand streetcar plan will do nearly zilch to address this core problem...

^ You must be joking. I lived there between '01 and '03. NY is cleaner than it's been in decades, and TO is probably dirtier than it's ever been, but it's still not even close: NY is much, MUCH dirtier. Note that I'm talking about the entire city, not just, like, Fifth Ave. or something.

Maybe the best spread you've ever posted here. Many great shots - very nice job!

Opinions of cities are subjective, of course, and experiences vary, but this... "New York was much cleaner than Toronto" ...is not an opinion - it is a lie, full stop.

*Why* is this the dominant thinking amongst the power that be? How did intolerably pokey local streetcar service come to be the driving mantra of the entire system? Where did these inane ideas come from, and why do they rule the day? Really, what the fuck is going on here? What collective...

I feel like a complete fool for ever having doubted that Hydrogen is/was bizorky. He sure as hell is.

"Recent interest and investment in cultural institutions, waterfront revitalization and urban restoration show the key role the creative class plays, but some experts wonder whether the elitist aspect to attracting this class conflicts with Toronto's multiculturalism." Eh? What does this...

. Continental integration on the march by Linda McQuaig July 10, 2007 http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/234049 It's a great irony that, while the United States has probably never been less popular among Canadians than in the era of George W. Bush, plans to integrate Canada...

^ It does look like many temples found throughout northern India, mostly, but they aren't quite that old. Most of the remaining ancient temples in India were built between ~700 & ~1300 AD. I don't think there are any still in existence more than about 2000 years old. Hinduism can be traced...

Hear, hear. The incessant desire to rip this country to shreds is as heartbreaking and wearying as it is outright moronic and almost entirely baseless.

Fab update - thanks, SNF.

^ I don't think Hydrogen is bizorky. Care to confirm or deny, Mr.(?) Hydrogen...?

LOL. Better, but still not vicious or cryptic enough to fully satisfy my personal adma preferences.

Everything you said is true, except this: No. No, they are not.

Feh. Pretty weak, dude - where are the threats to sever my genitalia, or something? And only oblique suggestions of Cletus-ness and ignorance? Come on - if you're gonna tussle, at least roll up yer sleeves n' tie up yer boots. Who needs adma-lite? Gimme both barrels like I know ya wanna, old...

Haven't been to Ottawa in years, so I can't say - I suspect I'd not be pleased, though, being one who felt that the lot should remain a square/parkette type thing. Sí, Jefe. Not that I was being flippant to begin with, just acknowledging that the building likely had some significant...

"Fashion Cares" As oxymora go, that's a knee-slappin' doozy on par with 'compassionate conservatism', or the classic 'military intelligence'.

. No way to treat soccer fanatics Brollies not allowed and shelter scarce May 17, 2007 by Dave Feschuk http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/214904 As soccer fans walked through the gates for last night's Toronto FC game against the Houston Dynamo, they were greeted by steady rain and...

^ It looks fairly pleasing in that photo, but believe me, it was a real eyesore - a decrepit, graceless hulk. You could look right through it on bright sunny days, kinda like some o' the abandoned towers in Detroit. I clearly recall the surprisingly dramatic effect demolishing that thing had on...
