    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    ^ The irony is that it will take longer to get from downtown Kitchener to Ainslee than the present #200 route.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Haven't had time to dig on this, but there might be federal 'backstops' to minimal environmental regs. A quick peruse is not encouraging: https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/ResearchPublications/201386E The term the OntCons would use is "streamline" as a catch phrase to...

    I'm sure the Douglodytes are working on it since the casino is temporarily off the table. "Buck a Bet"

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    OMG...I was steering clear of further comment on this, I have absolutely no faith in this regime making their fantasies real, but you just hit on something that completely fits their agenda and modus operandi: "proceed without any nod towards an EA". How would they view the EAA? As an...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    From the article: Phil and Jeff will be along shortly to explain the "business case"...not. Addendum: Bingo! https://www.durhamregion.com/news-story/9395151-durham-pushing-metrolinx-to-stick-to-original-plan-for-bowmanville-go-extension-via-oshawa/ But hang on Adrian! Niagara Falls makes a...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I've become immune to getting excited over anything this regime is about to announce, let alone what they already have. Il Duce is even more exciting...and Perry Como rocks in comparison...(Sarcasm...)

    Australian Public Transport projects & stuff

    On the national level, I'm finding this one of the better if not best comparison and warning for other analogous nations for lessons to be learned: https://www.newstatesman.com/world/2019/05/morrison-s-miracle-why-australian-labor-party-suffered-crushing-defeat The analogies are made to the UK...

    Australian Public Transport projects & stuff

    @tayser: You do realize you're taunting us now? Envy doesn't do the reaction justice... What boggles me is how the more conservative Ozzies can be generations ahead of us without the fetters of reactionary neo-cons (as opposed to rational conservatives) holding them back. Some of the difference...

    2019 Canadian Federal Election

    You'd think they'd be able to read the tea leaves before the cup is pizzed in, but alas. Scheer's handlers, like Ford's, like Justin's are inept at best. The Madhouse run by the inmates...

    And now, a message from our sponsors: BREAKING NEWS Judge rules SNC-Lavalin headed to trial on fraud and corruption charges Wednesday, May 29, 2019. 10:46 AM EDT A court of Quebec judge has ruled that SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. is headed to trial on charges of fraud and...

    2019 Canadian Federal Election

    From Lord of the Rings, on the ring itself: "It is a gift". WTF were the Cons thinking? And we still don't know the real story on Elliot's vote tally. Russian election interference could only dream of results like this... Fedeli, btw, is Wormtongue.

    2019 Canadian Federal Election

    Like transit, to see best value per investment and efficiency of operation, a steady, dependable funding is much to be desired. Ford's 'sudden awareness' is too cynical and too late. His actions have been so blatant and *nasty* that his 'hallelujah' moment has already toggled Ontario voter minds...

    2019 Canadian Federal Election

    ^ As per the report summary: I've yet to access the complete report (edit: Not yet published), but have found quoted sections in a few news-stories on it, one up at the FinPost, and a refreshingly neutral one for a PostMedia source...

    2019 Canadian Federal Election

    To get above the Lib-Con fray, it's useful to quote int'l agencies who study events and factors from above and in a much more neutral manner. Not infallible, by any means, but a hell of a lot greater clarity than the domestic turf war: (I'd missed this in the TorStar, their web layout is aimed...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    ^ That link @BB ON posts is fascinating reading, one of the easier to understand publications on the matter, but I have some questions as to how much the TTC complies with what's generally a railway use. So did some quick digging, couldn't find anything directly on the subject of system overlay...

    That's exactly the point. Read what was posted again. As for Cdn parties...the points have been made in posts prior. It was the Con's turn post Mulroney, are you unaware of the the name Preston Manning? (Btw: I have respect for Manning, even though he's not my 'cup of tea', it's the nasty shits...
