I'm not an aviation buff so am I missing something? I feel like I've seen multiple people say in this thread over and over "the new and bigger planes are QUIETER dummies!" but never link to anything to back up the claim, and what I can find shows they all produce the same level of noise. It...

The fraudulent QR codes are apparently enough of an issue that Bike Share has posted and warned people about it

Yup. To back this up from Liaison (link). Very stark responses between the two questions of expansion vs Toronto having a say.

Not yet and from what I've read I don't think an accurate map of what exactly they're expropriating even exists yet. The Trillium has a new article published that includes this; “The island beaches, Hanlan’s Point, Centreville and the Island School are now all at risk,” [MPP Chris Glover] said...

Are you forgetting the power dynamic and actual reality of what she's done? John Tory said he was going to get the province to take over gardiner/dvp but failed to do it.

In response to similar questions by some councillors yesterday the city solicitor reminded that even though the city ultimately its fight over the reduction of seats in 2018, it initially won its fight at the lower courts and only lost at the supreme court with a "strong dissent" (5-4).

Very obviously a lie and just making shit up. Maybe they *will* be working with the city, but part of that would be the city being legally bound by legislation. Yesterday when this news dropped City Council was meeting, Mayor Chow moved a motion at council and the City Manager and City Solicitor...

Dufferin south of Bloor the yellow lane markings on the road have been ground off and there are white lines on the east and west side to indicate where to paint (gaps for driveways, turn radius at intersections). Don't know how far south but at I'm guessing at to College. Saw a red lane painted...

The province has some proposed regulations to the Highway Traffic Act that will affect e-bikes. Looks like it will "normalize" cargo bikes, and explicitly permits passengers on them of all ages "provided there is a seat available". The current law has been interpreted by some as prohibiting...

Expropriating a park across the street from an elementary school, that should go over well

Last year my soccer team had someone new join for a couple seasons and it was Kerzner's chief of staff. The guy was friendly but on short notice he would suddenly not be able to make games and at the time I joked he was busy dealing with scandals and putting out fires... probably had more truth...
