They still would. But they’d claim it was an engineered weapon. HS2 all over again.

Trolling again?

This was the basement theatre, no? I thought Fabricland (now Dollarama) took over at least part of that spot (still only a potential fraction though).

The President's invite to the WHCD has always been symbolic more than literal, as it is almost always a pure roasting of the current administration. That invite, in and of itself, has always been contentious for journalists as it's often been taken as a stifle on the dinner and their ability to...

I’d tend to think anyone on a military beat at Newsweek would know not to call someone an officer who’s not. Non Commissioned Rank.

Having watched some of Business Insider's Boot Camp documentaries about culinary service in the military last year, it's insane how much food soldiers are (normally) given, and the quality of it. So to see it reduced to the amounts they seem to be getting, I can't imagine morale is anything less...

I don't even think it's that—though I agree kids can often see the value of walkability. Our downtown teen daughter is a champ and thinks nothing of a 2 or 3 km walk just to get somewhere. But, I also have suburban twin teen nephews and a niece who have gotten into the habit of thinking driving...

Also, he's a rapist who's shredding the constitution daily and destroying the global economy in the name of his personal pride. That's far more important than (as someone else put it), an "80-year-old man doing old man stuff".

I'm not arguing that; I'm saying that at least in the case of Spain there are other cultural factors at play that make the comparison much harder. Humanity isn't homogenous. Of all places (including those listed above) you chose to use a Spanish exemplar.

I don’t think comparing Spain and Canada is fair here. The culture in Spain is quite a bit different. Punctuality there takes a backseat to almost everything, especially work-life balance, and I could see people taking the train over a plane simply to get more rest and comfort over any feeling...

Pretty sure Uber is “public transit” Pretty sure Uber is “public transit” for those with money these days, at least for those not part of the 200,000 who drive into the city every day right beside those GO tracks on the Gardiner.

The Conservative Party does seem rather addicted to rage baiting based on false and misleading information. Centrism won't erase that.

Unlike other places (even the UK), we don't have a culture where taking the train is considered "normal" for a business person. Like how so many upper middle class suburbanites view public transit, it still holds an air of "Ew, but why would you if you could take a plane/car?". Unless it's...

If only we can get Canada on board with the idea of ekiben.

Hey, even the Mafia had their own version of honour killings.
