Wait, what? I don't get your answer to my question at all. Your link to Mr. Tindal's column was a quasi-answer (Rob flattered Tindal by remembering a few facts about him in the context of that election, and the well-known trope 'he answered people's calls' has been bandied about a zillion times...

Genuine question: what did you find 'charismatic' about him? Many people seemed to find the same thing in the sad sack of lard. I found him repulsive. Genuinely difficult to view or listen to when he spoke. Can you try to explain to someone like myself what drew you to him?

At that point, the Gardiner existence has never been questioned. It's only the corner with DVP / east end that should have come down but is now going to be a cockamamie scheme, 'cause cars gotta car.

Well, if you and 50+ others got onto the bus, then maybe the traffic would clear a little. But I expect at that time you're trying to turn onto Spadina to get on the Gardiner, whilst the bus will be heading straight onto Fort York Blvd, so maybe it won't be quite as affected. What's your...

I like this a lot. The 121 is essentially a Fort York version of the 'Uber bus' route, the 72 route might actually make a Riverdalian stay on it all the way downtown (if they work in Southcore, e.g.), and it will be great to see the Cherry loop in service. Actual, major TTC improvement!

That was my Q: if they DON'T sell it, but re-develop themselves, does that skirt the rules?

I'll add my experience today: went from Donlands/Cosburn to Pearson to grab a buddy's car for him as he jetted off. 6am bus to Broadview, Line 2 to Dundas West, short walk and Bloor to Pearson UPX. 1hr 15mn total time, very relaxed - longest time was wait at Bloor for 12mns. Lots of people in...

No worries, I'm just too lazy to type the extra 4 letters. How 'bout MDR, then?

If there was ever a site that TDSB could develop on its own to make significant dollars, this is it. Are they allowed to do that? Because it would be easy to move the adult classes to another underused school, rebuild the school and add both residential and commercial density, AND revitalize the...

Thx for all the updates, Jhon. I was going to go to the presentation but didn't because lazy. This was a great round-up, as was the front page article.

Then... what are you saying, exactly? That you can travel on a bus in Milwaukee or Des Moines or wherever for $1.90, but not to any airport nearby those burgs, so that's somehow worth adding to the debate about an express train from Canada's busiest airport to Canada's most important transit hub...

???? Sorry -- the rest of the GTA pays $3.25 for TTC. Why should Weston pay 50-75 cents? 'Cause... y'know... Weston?

And I should care about that -- as opposed to every other neighbourhood in the GTA -- why?

'So wrong?' Not just wrong? Why should Weston deserve a TTC fare to downtown, but equidistant GO fares be more? Sorry -- let me answer for you: because you live walking distance to the Weston UPX station. Correct?

If you've been following this thread, you should know Palma has been advocating for a lower fare consistently. It is obvious (to me at least) that Palma would like a free ride to the airport if and when he/she should ever deign to go, and therefore his/her opinion on the matter of pricing is...

Oh, FFS. Would free be an OK price for you, Palma? Or, like negative interest rates, I need to pay you to get on the train?

Sure, and they should build gondolas straight from my door to my office, and yet they don't. Irritates me to NO END. The whole 'this should be for commuters' thing is beyond bizarre. The beyond-political Weston stop was the start of all this, IMHO. Sure, maybe they shouldn't have built an...

Had a quiet Cubano & Mill street pint lunch there once. Quiet, wifi, sandwich was fine.

And another one -- the church at Dewhurst and Danforth has signs up touting a conversion to a 4 story big condo. I'd say they're reaching -- it could be a great three story building, but adding the floor is going to make it look kind of weird. (Haven't seen drawings, though.)
