That's dishonest. The G&M and its editorial board and columnists (Ibbitson, Wente, et al) have been glossing over and downplaying much of the misdoings of the Harper Government (tm) for the past year. Marcus Gee has been doing much the same for Ford since he was elected. Where's Mr. Barber when...

You say you'd pay for it but you would vote for the guy who steadfastly refuses to put up. You're not a shill. Gotcha. What is it with (faux) "conservatives" that want to spend huge amounts of money that we don't have, to build things that we don't need, to move people that don't exist, to...

It was the fiscally conservative thing to do. Nobody except those that would benefit from the gold plated luxurious service (or those that could make political hay from it) would argue that, over the next 30 years, spending near $5,000,000,000 and the billions more in interest and the...

I just noticed in the report that it expects in 20 years that over one-third of all AM peak traffic on the Yonge line will originate at RHC station which seems... I don't know, inflated?

The figure of 65,000 to 70,000 is for the entire peak period. Peak hour would be considerably less, is in the range of 35,000 to 40,000 but still well above what can feasibly be operated on Yonge. Despite what the TTC says I don't think 90 second headways and all that other nice stuff would...

People will have to accept that the further they are from their destination, the more transfers they will have to make.

Has our premier ever made comments similar to what our mayor has made in the past?

Like I said, get a clue. Even with the current single track terminals, the Sheppard line can support up to 12,000pph and those people are going north on the 404 not to Consumers Road or STC. That's opinion. It's fact that the Sheppard subway has been a waste of money.

They are only using one platform at both terminals right now and that already provides a capacity of roughly 8000pph with 4-car trains at 5 minute intervals. If you think Sheppard needs anywhere close to that much capacity within the next 50 years, I think you need to get a clue.

I think you're out to lunch. Nothing good ever happens in Toronto!

I'm sure that him starting his "Cut the Waste"--ahem--I mean waist campaign during the budget fight was pure coincidence. He can't cry about the sideshow that he called down on himself.

It'd siphon off some of the traffic off the Yonge and Danforth lines for sure. It'd probably make the Sheppard subway look even more useless. I looked and there are still many level crossings along the Stouffville line. I think I counted over a dozen up through Markham so assuming $50,000,000...

It was always about cutting the waste and never about cutting the waist. I do wonder if this was another ill thought out stunt by one of his handlers.

Filming location: yes.

21 storey condo means what? 150 residents? 1 Bloor East is 70+ and will only have something like 700 units. People around here really overestimate how much demand a couple of condos around a station bring. To a previous post, I was referring to previous BCA report which had a much lower peak...

Sanctimonious moralizing over eating one kind of animal instead of another. Priceless. I suppose friendlier and cuter animals are more deserving of our protection than ugly and hostile ones. Not to mention smelly ones!

Does that answer things?

Or even the news that Metrolinx would need to temporarily takeover some homes.

If it were in the city centre we would no doubt be hearing your perpetual moaning about how that blasted park is taking up prime real estate that would be better served with development. Only in Canada for the passport...

The amount of cognitive dissonance in your statements about some of these projects and not to mention neurosis is off the charts. Come on, screwing Scarborough? lol
