    Exhibition Place

    That is interesting. It's worth noting that Mosport did host the Canadian Grand Prix previously.

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    With an even 171-171 split I wonder who will cross the floor next. The bigger question is, if another conservative MP crosses the floor, will Pollievre remain as leader?

    Yes but when it comes to rail services, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. There is simply no capacity left for high speed rail in the USRC. The only way this will work is if it is in Midtown where very few trains run. Would it be convienient to have it go to Union? Yes. Is there...

    I think what he is saying is that the Island Airport is not within 5 feet of Union Station but somehow it is successful. It stands to reason that trains at Summerhill will also be succesful. London, UK is an example of this as it has several train stations spread across the city. Not all trains...

    I personally have not taken a cab in over a decade. Uber is cheaper and cleaner. Some of the Uber Drivers I have met are the nicest people while some cab drivers are miserable.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Actually this has more to do with the public inquiry from Ottawa after their LRT debacle. They are trying to avoid a repeat of that incident. True but at the same time, if the signal system fails or a train gets stuck somewhere underground that is not a good thing. That will cause more...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Personally, I would rather them delay the opening than risk a full on operational disaster. They know that Line 5 is under intense scrutiny and that any operational hiccups will be headline news. Think about it, if the line has delays on the first day or other issues the media would have a...

    Where to begin.. You cannot put a train on top of the existing train shed without extensive modifications. With all the work recently done, I can't see that happening given the cost and disruption. Also.. how would you build anything elevated in the downtown core without knocking down some...

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    Trust me. They are seeing the light. The Tiszá party is making headway now that people are seeing the close ties to Trump and Putin. Hungarians are a proud people, they were invaded and occupied for centuries but retain a desire for self-governance. When I was there in July there was a clear...

    That may change in April.

    The Retail Apocalypse

    That may be the last of them. Honestly, Toys 'R' Us has not been good since the late 80s and early 90s. With the advent of online shopping, social media and an ever changing landscape it is hard to keep up. Think about it. Trends and toys change so quickly now, it's not like the 90s where...
