    Considering a small town to retire to in 2030-35. Recommendations?

    Or you wouldn't be able to get there in the first place.

    Intercity Bus Services

    Good points (although i might argue the added time from Pearson to Union). ONTC would likely need so type of layover facility at or near the airport.

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    Indeed. Although shrunken, the network of branch lines in the prairies, operated by both Class 1s and shortlines, exist to to gather a single commodity class. Transloading of some bulk commodities, such as lumber and liquids, often adds costs and, in some cases, safety-based complexities.

    Lack of meaningful Passenger Rail service outside the Quebec-Windsor Corridor

    Welcome to everyone's world. You can't do stuff if you haven't got the money to do stuff.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Tents (enclosed opaque structures) are banned from several beaches, including Sauble, Grand Bend Barrie and Cobourg. Some beaches, including Barrie and Grand Bend even prohibits open cabanas - single pole sun shades only. The issue is burying waste waste and garbage, including diapers and...

    Intercity Bus Services

    My response was more to the suggestion for a service originating/terminating at Barrie & Pearson service (with or without interim stops). Jogging all of their routes originating at Union over to Pearson then back would seem to be quite disruptive. You're right that seven is something. Business...

    Considering a small town to retire to in 2030-35. Recommendations?

    Unless you dined at Maximilians, you missed the best schnitzel on the planet. Indeed, but you know the general public; if it ain't at Home Depot or Walmart it doesn't exist. My go-to is Home Hardware; although their building centre here is a bit disappointing.

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    "Has made" is a bit premature.

    Intercity Bus Services

    A one or two trip per day service to an airport that essentially operates 24/7/365, particularly when it is the terminus service. is going to have limited potential.

    President Joe Biden's United States of America

    Or simply not try to open-air grow stuff where it can't naturally be sustained. Much of the California Central Valley is arid to semi-arid and can't be productive without massive irrigation works. Even where there is decent moisture, we have seen that a couple of years where the snowpack in...

    The Coming Disruption of Transport

    Then should it be governed by regular vehicular equipment and collision standards? At some point, a device crosses the line between 'mobility device' and 'motor vehicle'.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    That's a lot of rooms. I'm not familiar with Esquimalt at all but I imagine it has been impacted but accommodation availability like a lot of other facilities. Most CAF accommodation is old, so from that perspective, it will be an improvement. Single room accommodation is, in military...

    Considering a small town to retire to in 2030-35. Recommendations?

    I've always figured 'mid-western' Ontario to be our primary breadbasket. Lots of profitable, well maintained farming operations and towns to support them. Like the limestone theme of eastern Ontario, many of the towns in this area have a signature 'yellow brick' theme - must be the local clay...

    Hosting a summer Olympic games

    For that money . . . More CT/MRI/PET machines in more hospitals No Emerg or other hospital services closures or suspensions. Better mental health services. I could go on.

    Lack of meaningful Passenger Rail service outside the Quebec-Windsor Corridor

    I'll take a shot at it. VIA's corridor service serves a lot of customers (profitably as I understand) so the money benefitted a lot of people. The trackage was otherwise serviceable and profitable for its owners; the effort was to make it better. Both the Gaspe and Vancouver Island services...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Yup, I knew they are Special Constables (a friend used to be the Director). Without digging into the rules, I agree that the bylaws are largely or perhaps completely non-arrestable. Even within the other provincial statutes cited, such as Trespass to Property, LLA, etc., arrest provisions are...

    The Coming Disruption of Transport

    One problem with harmonizing road use across the province is it can't differentiate a municipal road in Toronto from one in Kenora district, in terms of such factors as traffic, condition and, for want of a better term, 'local sensibilities'. An ATV or MSV on a road coming back from the bush is...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Are GO bylaw (?) infractions, like "littering or minor offences" even arrestable? Honest question. No doubt an offence notice can be issued but, since any violation is most likely 'found committing', you would need a lot of enforcement personnel.

    And corn. The season hasn't hit up here yet but a garden centre has been getting it from down south and it has been amazing.
