No it's not. It's the typical cheap shot that too many on this board engage in and encourage when they don't like someone. This forum is full of self-righteous people that think nothing of name calling and mocking people when it suits them.

You're trying to justify cheap shots as being necessary when it's clearly childish, immature and an act expected of children. I've read so many posts on this forum and elsewhere where people with a beef with Ford resort to name calling and making comments about his appearance and weight. And...

This is another cheap shot that has nothing to do with the topic. Some of the posts here are still very slanted with their handling of the Fords. People are running out of ammo when all they can think of is to make comments about Ford's appearance and weight. I said it before. Criticize Ford on...

Agreed. People are too impatient and it shows with their posts demanding that highrises be built faster to make them happy. Get over yourselves. .

The DRL is unlikely to be built anytime soon. Certainly I don't expect to see it constructed before I retire in about 20 yrs. We backed ourselves into a corner with transit in this city through the combination of bad polices, lack of vision and underfunding over several governments and decades...

Both the Star and Sun are very biased in their reports and thus why I tend to take their views and opinions with a little grain of salt on more than a few occasions.

And what do you suggest she do? Does she keep taking an inferior mode of transportation that's continuing to decline, adding to her commute times and making her life hell? Look, she was a loyal transit user and finally gave up because the service is weak at best and the travel times just...

This came from sources like the Star which hates Ford and is basically using fear mongering tactics to scare the shit out of people.

Sorry to burst your bubble but travel by transit in this city, especially if you have to travel across the city and make transfers is a joke. My friend's branch is at Dufferin Mall. It routinely takes her about 45 mins to an hour to get home to her house at St Clair and Christie. It shouldn't...

Exactly. Transit in this city is a joke. It takes forever to get anywhere and forget going across the city. This is just the end result of horrible urban planning and chronic underfunding.

I knew a woman a couple of years ago who was from Quebec. Just outside Montreal. She moved to Toronto and told me that she found people in Toronto to be friendlier. She's francophone and said that people in Montreal were rude and full of themselves. She also said she thought Toronto was a better...

About this whole transit issue in Toronto. A friend of mine, who's super pro transit and loves this city to death has changed her attitudes lately. She became so fed up with commute times on the TTC, delays and dealing with people she went out a couple of years ago and bought an ebike. She...

Are the concrete slabs on the ground being replaced too? I can't remember....

The traffic congestion and chaos in Toronto is the result of decades of bad urban planning and funding issues. Didn't happen over night. We're stuck with this for a long time. Probably for the rest of my life anyway. As for Ford being self serving? I don't see any evidence that he's any less...

My mistake then. It looked like you were being serious in the post. One of the major reasons I hate having discussion and debates online is that tone can often be lost...

Where in there did I blame people for Ford's lies? I said people should have known better than to believe that no cuts would occur when also knowing of a massive shortfall in the budget. We're a reactive species, that's why we keep finding ourselves in the same scenerios over and over again. We...

The comparison of Toronto versus Montreal is a old one. I went to Montreal once and got treated like shit on a few occasions by some of the francophones. Montreal didn't come across as that tolerant.

It's basically classic fear mongering by the Star and others to paint this drastic and bleak picture of Ford gutting the entire city including the TTC.

It's obvious you have a problem with poor people when you emphasis in your post the word poor to convey your dislike of them.

They're also realizing that owning/driving a car while living downtown doesn't make any sense. That and with permanent oil/gas prices, maybe they really can't afford to drive as often now.
