Toronto Almost exactly right! But it's 0 in many years. The data is from the U of T weather station; it does get a bit colder on average as you move north in the city. https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/toronto/yearly-days-below--20-degrees-c Year Rank Days < -20 °C 2024 139 0...

I think Yonge and Eglinton is now the single busiest intersection in the city for pedestrians? I can't verify the source, but this was tweeted today by Walk_TO with a mention of Matt Elliott's newsletter (which I don't subscribe to).

Yeah, companies are getting more people back in the office because their senior leaders think that their employees do better work from the office than home. I tend to think that's generally true of a lot of office work (not all, of course) even where your presence isn't specifically needed to...

June 19, 2023. Pharmacare is supposed to be voted on in the Senate in mid-October, so that won't get Singh to his pension. He has a lot of caucus members who hit six years in October 2025, though.

When is this going to be ready? My son just started SK, so hopefully before he hits high school.

Tolls are inevitable, but the type of people hanging around here are generally the type of people who want to see it happen sooner rather than later.

Cool tool! December 18 is closer to the solstice than I thought.

Weird that they aren't using self checkouts.

The Pharmacare bill hasn't passed in the Senate yet, and there will definitely not be a confidence vote before then. Given the NDP has been getting some of their priorities passed with the Liberals, and definitely won't if the Conservatives get a majority government, there's no incentive for...

Having just moved to the area (the buildings will cast a shadow on my house for much of the year) I can't wait for these to finish up and people to start moving in.

Possibly around early December and mid-January? Close to the shortest day of the year? The sunset aligns with the street grid roughly at the end of October and middle of February, and the channel has a more southern orientation than the street grid.

I'm willing to wait and see how this develops, as our current approaches clearly aren't working either in Ontario or BC. But this just smells like something they scrambled to put together in advance of the election to say they're doing something, rather than something they thought out over the...

I honestly don't get all of these people saying the "solution" to make the islands accessible is a bridge (or tunnel) at one far end or the other. Unless you are going to Hanlan's Point Beach, you're looking at hiking an hour after getting out of the western tunnel to get to the parts of the...

The pendulum is swinging, maybe, but note that BC's current plan is to open... 10 spots in a facility in the Surrey Pretrial jail. I hate to break the news to the Premier of BC, but 10 beds is not going to make much of a dent in a drug problem that kills 7 people a day in BC right now. It's just...

They've never said so, but is this an admission that the No Frills on Front and Princess is going to have to close in the next few years?

It happened with the TTC I think in 2018. And Metro/Unifor last year. So it's rare, but definitely something that is always a possibility.

Just on that stretch of College, there are quite a few places that have been there at least since I moved to Toronto, which is almost 25 years ago now. But many countries in Europe have commercial tenant protections that make it more difficult for a landlord to evict a small business without...

I walk, bike, drive and take transit in Toronto. Cars are king, both in terms of space and funding. Everyone else gets the scraps that are left over.

That was the one and only time I have been there, and I think that’s accurate. I was from a small town, so it seemed extremely sophisticated to me.

To be fair, most of City Council is the automobile lobby.
