    Yes. Some bridges have been upgrades with caissons or 'rock islands' protecting the piers. In the short term, I'll bet harbour tug operators get busier as port authorities demand that ships be under tug escort until clear of the harbour.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    I'm surprised how no one in the Liberal backroom didn't see this coming (or perhaps did and didn't care). Opting out and wanting compensation is textbook Quebec. I agree that the feds and provinces should stay in their lanes, except it always seems to be a moving line.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    In addition to increased availability, I would guess part of the initiative would be to increase capacity. Higher voltage/amperage power is typically only available at pull-though sites for RVs or large 5th wheel trailers. Electricity at other sites for smaller vehicles is often only 15/20a 120v.

    Ya, I don't know how far you ca go in an open economy towards hardening trade-critical infrastructure and still keep it profitable. Blockading harbours is as old as sail.

    VIA Rail

    People can put all the lipstick on tagging they want, but it's vandalism, and a criminal offence.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    And trying to find them is like a game of Where's Waldo. Both intriguing and frustrating at the same time.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Dufferin Rd. 109 used to be Hwy from Hwy 11 (Yonge St.) clear through to Hwy 21 at Kincardine. Not sure about the 'by-pass alignment around downtown Orangeville. https://www.orangeville.com/news/dufferin-wants-to-rid-itself-of-county-road-109/article_ed48ec50-141a-56dc-b5eb-e1b631911b60.html

    Also shame on successive Ontario governments who have failed to pass comprehensive legislation regulating zoo and other animal captivity operations.

    Marineland (?, ?s, ?)

    If that was the goal, it would have to be snow, skiing and polar bears 12 months of the year.

    Still, within the top 15 on the Atlantic. It remains to be seen how much spare capacity other ports and their supporting railroads have. The collapse looks like it also strands a significant US Coast Guard yard. I-695 appears to be a significant leg of the city's ring road. My brother sent...

    President Joe Biden's United States of America

    As in most cases, information in the initial few hours is speculative at best, but Reuters is reporting that it lost power before impact. The fact that it occurred in the middle of the night is no doubt a good thing. The closure of a major east coast port will be significant...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    That is, quite literally, what the quote you linked said.

    Barrie Collingwood Railway (BCRY)

    No clue whether or not it has been studied. Only a publicly-funded agency would have the deep pockets required to restore and operate a rail line, certainly for what amounts to an occasional service. As pointed out by others, at least for NF, the majority of the infrastructure is already...

    407 Rail Freight Bypass/The Missing Link

    Well, part of it. But that was my point. I don't see a straight line between between Mexico or even Chicago and significantly increased traffic on our side of the border, simply because of the merger. Traffic will increase because we either produce and export more or we consume and import...

    Barrie Collingwood Railway (BCRY)

    Once again, missing the point completely. GO is daily service, taking people to and from a fairly necessary endeavour - making a living. The fact that it doesn't capture every commuter isn't the point; no public commuter or transit system does. Spending the amount of public money that would...
