"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." - Churchill

The lifespan of those signs in Etobicoke would probably be measured in hours, though. Destroyed, mangled, or just gone.

Even in the latter scenario, I would think Cho would win. The public that would be informed about Cho possibly/probably bailing and who would punish him for running anyway would be vastly outnumbered by people who saw his name on the ballot, recognized the name, remembered vaguely positive...

Stintz's performance on the campaign trail is erratic at best, chaotic at worst. Her plan to pay for the DRL is poorly thought-out, her recycling of the old co-op canard is beneath her, her messaging tone deaf, and she is positively Romney-esque in her ability to switch positions without a...

http://thecrosstown.ca/news-media/whats-new/caledonia-hydro-relocation-late-spring-2014 "Initial utility relocation work and installation of headwalls began in May 2013 and will continue until *late* spring 2014." (my emphasis) I think this is the cause of the TBM hold-up.

It is difficult to think of anyone who would challenge Chow on the left. Barring something extraordinarily bad (Ford-level bad) happening, she has knocking on 35% of the vote in the bag. Every poll has her either leading, or within the margin of error. But she is not running away with it. Only a...

A humble prediction for October 27: Chow 36%, and the win. Much too early, and I am probably terribly wrong, but I wanted to get it out there.

The margin of error is nowhere to be seen, I notice. Isn't that required for publication of any reputable poll? Oh, it's Forum. Never mind.

I haven't watched this debate, but by the sound of things, where were these people yesterday?

Here is the link to the interview: http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/#!/content/1.2583832

The remark was very condescending, to my mind.

Correct. If phase 2 is ever built, the only underground sections in that would likely be from Mt. Dennis to Jane, and on the run-in to and under the airport terminal.

Chow was interviewed by Galloway on Monday, I believe.

The line has to get from the middle of Eglinton east of Black Creek to the northeast corner of Eglinton and Black Creek in order to make the leap over Black Creek into the side of the rise where the Kodak Lands are. I would think construction of Mt. Dennis station, the marshalling yard, and the...

The Neptis report's criticisms of the Eglinton LRT ring hollow. 1. If you eliminate more stations, then yes, the train will run faster. However, if you see transit as a way of connecting people to places, then you don't always see things in such black and white terms. I doubt the author of...

Does anyone know who funded the Neptis report? It would be useful to know.

High turnouts rarely favour the incumbents.

Wow. It looks so nice. Thanks!

I haven't seen Chow saying the Scarborough LRT would through-run with Eglinton LRT. Can someone please point me toward the source? Thanks!

If there is an election before October … If the Ontario Liberals are returned with a majority in such an election … If a pro-LRT mayor is elected … … I would still not count out an LRT coming to pass, sooner rather than later. Whoever becomes mayor (assuming it isn't Ford) will have a...
