Really?

If a Don Branch routing, what about the infrequent but not unheard of flooding, or is it assumed that the lower Don River work has solved that?

They're all the same. We get at least one, usually two, Bell reps a year. They're looking for sales. Some don't know about the pending (term used loosely) Fibe line, one actually tried to downplay it which I thought was a curious corporate approach. They are trying to sell fixed wireless...

If the argument for the highway is to provide connectivity between Hwys 400 and 404 (via however many lanes - I forget) while bypassing the townsite, I'm not sure I see the benefit in extending it to a lower-tier two-lane road would be good design or traffic management. A similar argument could...

I agree, I was just reflecting former policy that the Harris government itself pretty much blew out of the water anyway.

I'm not so sure. Unless people check that there is an existing situation before leaving home (assuming central Toronto) before committing to go 400 or 404, it seems most regular weekend travellers have their route and seldom deviate from it. I used to run from Barrie to Pearson and on weekends...

Ya, I have seen that map or versions of it before. It's a little dated since Bell has already said they are "reevaluating" the scope of the project 9cool that they get todo that after receiving public money under an existing set of terms). It seems that some areas no longer have enough...

It used to be a standard that provincial highways began and ended at other provincial highways, and all of former Hwy 27 has been downloaded.

Some of you may be aware that both the federal and provincial governments have given Bell (and maybe Rogers, IDK) a hockey sock full of money to bring affordable high-speed Internet to 90-odd % of Ontario residents. I believe it was suppose to be done this year, but here we are. Summer before...

I think the best you can expect in the near/mid term are capacity and flow improvements to County Rds. 7 and 96, some of which is already happening. The MTO Corridor Management map doesn't show any zoning restrictions surrounding Stayner that would suggest a planned new right of way,other that...

When it comes to public opinion, the benchmark should be envisioning their son or daughter in the cockpit and choosing an aircraft that gives them the best chance of coming back from a mission.

Assuming this is intended to tie into the Don Branch then CPKC, I have a hard time envisioning that kind of average speed. I'm not a railwayologist, but 'average' implies higher and lower speeds and with that curve, accelerating out of Union, etc. speeds would likely have to approach, what...

Ok, but this is a public message being fed out from some fairly high levels on both sides. I get that, when it comes from the US, it is likely self-serving. It tend to agree that the strengths of the F-35 would be more suited to expeditionary roles. OK, but if it is true that we are getting...

Meh. Chicken or egg. If the government decides that VIA will provide 'x' service, it is implied that it would be funded to do so.

Just-in-time supply chain management has essentially foisted private warehousing onto public roads. Rather than an auto assembler needing a large warehouse to store a week's worth of engines or frames brought via rail, it needs much smaller transitional holding space supplied by a regular...

But that goes against the public narrative that we need the F-35 fleet for the NORAD role to ensure 'compatibility' with US (even though we currently operate CF-18s and they operate F-16s and F-22s in the role). I thought we were the drag chute ("Norwegian option') for operating in the north...

True, but in communities closer to the GTA (it wouldn't likely apply to where you used to live) where there is no apparent visible minority population, certain not one large enough to support a couple of shifts every day, where are they coming from? They might be brought in from larger centres...

But I wonder how much Toronto-originating overseas shipping there is. It's not like Toronto or the GTA has a ton of manufacturing anymore. It seems the largest seacan-based international export that comes out of the GTA these days is stolen vehicles. ;)

No. They can't under accepted design standards anyway unless it becomes a lower speed zone. If the ROW builds around Stouffville, Markham and Unionville, at some point it really isn't the Stouffville sub anymore. I hope no one is expecting that at any of the urban interfaces, Toronto, Ottawa...

Don't be so sure. I've been in Tim's in small central and (near) northern Ontario communities and the staff demographics appear similar, perhaps not exclusively. I'm just a consumer and don't really follow labour issues, but it seems pre-Covid, the majority of Tim's and Macdonalds seemed to...
