    I’ve been meaning to go there forever. Too late, I guess.

    Can't you just program that drone to go out there and do it for you? Put it on a timer or something?

    Who wants to get up early enough to see a sunrise during any time of the year when the weather is good.

    It didn't happen here. A numbered corporation was liable for the tax. The tenant who was on the lease and living in the unit was never held liable for a cent of it. They should change the rule. But there's a reason nobody has ever heard of a tenant being held liable for the tax payable by their...

    He said he was having his corporation pay the rent on his behalf because it was administratively convenient. Sure. Here's a link to the case if you're interested: https://canlii.ca/t/jwg9p

    It always "works" in that it frees up units that the wealthier people would otherwise occupy. The extent to which it "works" for people at the lowest end of the income spectrum depends on all of those factors.

    The moral of the story is that if you are using a numbered corporation to pay your residential rent on your behalf so that you don't have to pay it out out of post-tax income, you'd better be squeaky clean about it. Which is not to say that the rule as drafted is good - it would allow the...

    Lots of people up in arms over this story, but it's not quite what the papers portray it as. This guy's numbered corporation was paying his rent on his behalf (probably part of some tax avoidance strategy) and the company got audited, leading the CRA to throw the book at him. The guy himself (ie...

    It seems Toronto Life's "best restaurants" program is certainly available for purchase by sponsors, at least judging from their beer and wine offerings.

    I think they’re causing some minor disruption to U of T students and profs (my FIL is one, and his building was closed one day). But not enough that they couldn’t hold their huge science fair on the weekend without any issue.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    The heavier ones are also outside the effective limits for all the guardrails lining highways. They're designed for 5,000 lbs. And god knows what they'll come up with to protect pedestrians from EVs in front of Union Station :)

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    If the Gardiner is too full because of construction and you can’t provide more Gardiner capacity, providing better streetcars (and Go service) is the obvious solution.

    They’re an alternative to the Gardiner if you’re going from Leslieville to Roncesvalles.

    There's probably just more opportunity to get up to higher speeds on Mississauga's suburban streets than Toronto's more urban streets.

    The WT people seem to like Jack Landau and have him down there regularly to take nice pictures and write something up. He's basically on their PR team.

    There's a door to door streetcar from this guys house to his workplace, and instead of taking that hour to read, rest, chat with friends/family, or do whatever else he wants, he complains to CP24 about how long it takes for him to drive.

    I've had breakfast there many times. I wouldn't describe it as "great" but it's fine, and fun.
