I'm reminded of Wall-E with sedentary people in the 'big floaty chairs'. Where? They are not public street legal in Ontario except for, I think, two pilot communities.

All three are, in fact, part of the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

From 2020. There might be revisions or updated versions. https://files.ontario.ca/mmah-provincial-policy-statement-2020-accessible-final-en-2020-02-14.pdf I believe it was under this statement that the province proposed de-amalgamating Peel, then backed off, as well as looking at the...

It's really difficult to compare things with past times. While there has probably always been homeless/differently domiciled, likely not to the extent now which has been seriously impacted by the opioid drug epidemic and financial issues. There is a recent article from Peterborough, which I...

It would probably work better if it were a corporation-to-corporation arrangement, but I don't see a small craft producer having much bargaining power with a multinational. Would the producer deal with each store or corporate? Would corporate 'big grocery' even allow stores to do this? How...

They all do that. Chretien and the "Cadillac helicopters'; Ford and green energy projects, basic income pilot.

Regardless of where their fan club is, no federal party will get the keys to the kingdom without winning Ontario and Quebec which have 2/3 of all ridings. And that doesn't happen at the provincial or municipal level?

That might a bridge too far for US voters. Baby steps.

The definition of 'remote' is a moving target and no doubt defined in self-serving terms. Although there are few actual remote/rail access-only communities, settlements, hamlets, etc. on the VIA route, there are none on the former ACR SSM-Hearst route (which may have the federal government's...

Every community, large or small, struggles with homelessness and drug use. I tend to agree about Cornwall. I haven't spent a lot of time in Trenton but the last time I was there the businesses backing on the river seemed to be decent. Everybody has their own opinions. I tend to lean to...

I think you are right. Both parties have their committed bases and need to target the roughly 1/3 in the middle. There is also the cohort, card-carrying or not, who disliked either choice and were planning on staying home. Even for some committed Republicans, Trump, Jan 6th, whatever, were...

"Coming down" would be relative. Even back in the late '80s before The County 'was found', I was almost transferred to Belleville. Even back then, there was a significant price difference between anything in The County and properties north of the 401 in places like Sterling, Foxboro, etc...

Immensely cheaper. The three new units are replacing three existing units and recycling their numbers. I could find nay reference as to how old the previous ones were.

I really like Brockville and Gananoque. If we didn't decide to move closer to The Kid, I would have lobbied the missus for Brockville. I don't know that much about Perth or Smiths Falls but like the looks of Perth. I would imagine you would have to get east of Cobourg to get away from the...

That could be part of it, but the costs to work around existing infrastructure, chip away what you want to replace, have what's left evaluated, engineered and remediated, brought up to current standards, then build new around it, is much more expensive that greenfield. Heck, the first time I...

Inter-range, rain shadow desert. Then there's the whole wildfire thing. When I down in Arizona many moons ago, they are right about the 'it's a dry heat' thing. So long as you are out of the sun, it's quite bearable. Your perspiration actually gets to do what it is meant to do. With high...

I suppose they could try, but most alternative voting systems tend to fragment voting intentions. It might block the CPC but it also might be seen to fragment their own base. No clue how the numbers would turn out and I doubt they would try until the party has gamed it. By the time a Bill is...

I can handle wet and cool over wet, hot and humid.

Not necessarily. A portion of the BCR ROW has a major water trunkline. Many rail rights-of-way are protected by utility easements.

It depends. Per the HTA (paraphrased) a "pedestrian crossover" is a part of a road distinctly marked (in accordance with the Regulations) as a pedestrian crossing area. A "pedestrian crosswalk" is an area marked for pedestrian crossing at an intersection OR any other area identified by signs...
