Excuse me sir! I speak to everyone like that. Like the great William Arthur Ward once said. "A well developed sense of humour is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life". To be an adult is to enjoy life with a great sense of humour. A very happy Friday to...

The Park Lobby would have a field day if there was a firework store near a park. #waronparks Anyways, see you back here in 2034!

Would the fact that the idea is still alive yet unmaterialized prove the posters point. in 10 years Yonge has remained untouched. A victory for the dreaded Car Lobby. The war continues...

Since the replied to post was made in 2014 I have a feeling that version of lead82 has no idea what you are referencing. A blissfully ignorant time where Bloor bike lanes didn't even exist. Although in reference to Yonge, they were not wrong about nothing materializing.

In situations like this it is mandated that the crew should be manned with two workers to be able to move the bins to the side of the claw. Many one way streets in Toronto have collection pick up for houses on both sides or the opposite side of the street. Bike lane here is pretty irrelevant to...

To be fair, Ferrand Drive is a circular road surrounding single family homes and the office "traffic" goes one way. There's likely not enough vehicle traffic to warrant a road double that size. The additional cost of some extra paint to make that left turn lane is negligble as those cement curbs...

My personal opinion (a rather unimportant one especially on a online forum with little impact to society) is we are in the infancy stages of a very large shift in transportation habits due to a large variety of factors not exclusive to financial, environmental, generational and technological...

While I commend you for spending your valuable personal time on this large assessment of data and agree that growth hasn't occured much since installation, as a project manager for large volume moving projects typically "months" wouldn't be a valuable measure of time to assess the effectiveness...

Not sure if this is the right thread...but figured I'd throw it in here. It's not really being reported in the media but it should be. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/teamsters-canada-warns-rail-strike-looms-over-pay-hours-at-cn-cpkc Industry insiders are reporting (preparations are...

I agree that Aeroplan points are a huge plus but Aeroplan and Uber have an agreement. If you link your Aeroplan to Uber it's 2 pts for every $1 spent. The same ratio earned with the CIBC Aeroplan credit card for Air Canada Purchases. All the other benefits outweigh using an Uber for sure though

Didn't capture a picture but there is now an office trailer and excavator on sight moving around dirt. Has been there for about week with constant activity. Small crew as well. In sadder news Barocco X Nino across the street is closed as their lease has ended and they try to find a new spot...

I was at Wrestlemania 18 way back in 2002. The last time WWE hosted an event there. Great times! Granted I was 12. The new update especially the upper deck bars would be a rowdy place with a WWE crowd. Bring it back!

To be fair Fort York (established 3 years before Battlefield House, the Battle of York also happening 2 months before the Battle of Stoney Creek although with a less favourable result for the British) in Toronto is surrounded by a highway, train tracks and dozens of massive condo buildings and I...

Chris is correct in that it is both a supply and demand issue. If we close the borders we would still need to build more housing and prices wouldn't magically go down if immigration stopped. How do we eliminate the increase in demand? Provide more supply. Other options: wait until the boomers...

It was a cool story. Thank you. Ultimately the "made in china" products come down to cost. I for one would prefer we stock more made in Canada products however the general population cares more for cost of goods rather than quality and CT is a company aimed at the general population. It is for...

@Admiral Beez Read your reply in my email but can't see it here. For what it's worth, you're not wrong. I make sure my team and I spend as much time as possible in our stores and we are quite far removed from store operations. I'm often in store 3-4 times a week on my own time asking questions...

This, unfortunately, is the weakness of some of the Merchandising team and it is a shame. I will say there are a few who are experts. Having worked with most of them, The Auto Category Managers are all extreme "car heads" and have only worked in the Auto department, some of them from when they...

As one of those "Pencil pushers" I can confirm to you that is overwhelmingly not the case. However, with a franchisee model, it is incredibly difficult to get 500 store Dealers to follow every single directive that us at head office give to them. They are free (for the most part) to go to any...

Fair. Was just a guess. Most of Toronto roads are unbikeable anyways. If they started considering bike share locations based on how hostile the roads are we'd have like 5 stations. Probably more to make it seem like "King is for Everyone" so let's toss some bike stations around it.

My guess is they want to provide people from other areas of the city with more options to bike TO or FROM King not necessarily ON it.
