I think everyone at City who was involved with this debate should be deeply ashamed of themselves. This debate looked like a kid's half-assed homework done on the school bus in the morning. Nobody at City bothered their pretty little camera-ready heads with any meaningful prep. They just...

Obama introduced my face to my palm repeatedly in the first 2012 debate against Romney. On the one hand, he had only two debates left after that where he finally did better, while there are many, many more left for us over the coming months. On the other hand, he had a history of doing well...

OMG MY GOD YOU DON'T FOLLOW TWITTER HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF AN INFORMED PERSON?!? Heh. This is why I usually answer at (tedious) length about it here. It is confusing when you're new to it.

That isn't new info: it was a reply clarifying that case was not turned over to OPP a few weeks ago, but that they were given oversight role. See the original tweet, ongoing convo, and that reply in context here: https://twitter.com/MetroManTO/status/448876833014943744 (When in doubt about...

Nope, my error: I left an extraneous bit of punctuation on the end of the link. I'll go back and fix my post. The tweet is still there: https://twitter.com/TOMayorFord/status/448815988415283202

It's a real tweet from the real Mayor Ford account, plus sarcastic commentary from the guy who re-tweeted it. The whole thing: Ladies, always make sure your husband gets enough to eat at home. RT @TOMayorFord Remarks at Women's Entrepreneurship Roundtable #TOpoli That link again...

Tory = Daddy in many people's eyes (and ears).

Today? But I had March 25 in the pool!

As I clearly stated in my comment (without the verb tense confusion you exhibit in that quote), I've only recently started following city politics (I was much more immersed in national Canadian and American politics) and I think it was a terrible mistake to not start following it early. I know...

I've lived in Toronto since 1974 and I didn't know who McConnell was until last year. Some of us are still getting up to speed on this (in my case, cursing myself for not paying more attention earlier). Screw national politics: we all need to pay a lot of attention to what's happening locally...

But this is a real security issue. Do you really think the Star will (naively) not realize the significance of it, or that if they do, they'll just shrug it off?

Good idea. It will be publicized as the screw-up it was and it should probably get fixed, too. But cue Ford Nation claiming it was faked or hacked by the Star.

So as mentioned above: is the missing sixth video mentioned in today's reports the video of a passed-out Ford with a gun pointed at his head?

Thanks! I'm still looking for some documents just because council has a bit of a track record of being distracted by shiny things. I might check in the RT thread here to see if anyone else has dug something up. EDIT: Oh, wow. That thread started in 2005. Painful.

According to this July 2013 report (PDF), the original plan was to shut down the SRT in 2016 to build the LRT. (See the bottom of page 15.) There is nothing I can find in that document that describes any additional investment that would keep the SRT going after 2016. This doesn't mean that the...

It's not just maintenance of the tracks. The vehicles themselves are on their last legs. They don't make those vehicles or parts for them any more, IIRC.

There are several years of EA/planning and construction ahead for the subway plan. It would not be in service until 2023 (possibly later, if there are over-runs -- which, BTW, Toronto would have to pay for itself. The feds and the province are not on the hook for over-runs at ALL.) The SRT will...

This is utter nonsense. They were in a co-op unit that was designed "market rate" by that co-op. Same as 70% of the units. They paid the fair rate charged by the co-op -- NOT the subsidized rate -- and there was no mystery cheque. The extra $325 they paid for the last few months was...

You mean like those socialist school lunch programs available throughout the United Socialist States of America?

BROTHELS? Seriously? Can you remember the exact question? Nothing about, you know, TRANSIT?
