Solid messaging and platform??? It's basically, "I'll just ask the province to solve my problems, and do absolutely nothing." At least Brad Brad, who I despise, says he's going to actually do something.

I usually vote NDP, but won't vote for Chow unless there is no one else to the left of Bailao. Need fresh ideas for the city.

Ridiculous. Apart from what others have mentioned (she's not running for premier), the Science Centre is about to be located in a place with fantastic transit options. To move it and be less accessible to the public again is silly. This also tells me that she doesn't want to put up a fight with...

Apparently you can get fined for doing that nowadays...

It's easy to be hyperbolic about this stuff, but, I think this is the most important election for Toronto this generation. It's going to make or break Toronto for the next few decades. If someone can be elected on a platform of raising revenues to pay for the services we need, there's hope...

This race is going to get a lot more interesting. Looks like Ontario is not going to give Toronto it's shortfall money, so it's going to be big tax increases or massive cuts.

Probably an empty promise anyways. If a progressive mayor gets in and tries to use strong mayor powers for anything other than housing, Ford will just deem it not a provincial priority and disallow it.

Yes, of course, we'll eventually get there. But a lot of people are thinking this is going to happen in the immediate future, like, in the next few years, and that is absolutely not going to happen. This is a solution in a few decades, not a few years.

Why do we need to generate advertising revenue? It is a miniscule amount of money, and makes being in a station a dramatically worse experience.

TuSimple has operated autonomously with a driver present to take over. They have also shifted to focus on Level 2 tech vs Level 4 tech since it's harder then they thought (who could have predicted that). I don't know if I even need to dignify this with a response. "quite solvable" is doing a...

Umm, no it doesn't. There are no cars capable of level 5 autonomy on highways. Also, if you are talking about Tesla Autopilot, that is not autonomy that is glorified cruise control (and a middling one at that). EDIT

Autonomy will not be ready in a few (3-5) years. Maybe, maybe, 30-50 years. It's all smoke and mirrors right now. Electrification is great (I have an electric car, love it), but, also, those big trucks will require lots of recharging on a Toronto to Calgary route. There will need to be tons...

Actually, I think the way to get the province to upload the highway is to vote to tear it down. My guess is that causes Doug to come to the rescue. Or, we end up with no Gardiner, win win. Asking nicely is going to get us the same response. I'm sure Ana knows this, and will just shrug her...

Have we learned nothing? Getting involved in another countries politics is ludicrous. To think we have the answers and can solve these problems with some training, or even military force is such hubris. It should absolutely not be our job to intervene here. Not our problem to solve. If we want...

Gil is definitely wacky, but, maybe in a good way. I don't know if he ran a poor campaign, or the media concluded the race was over before it began. Would definitely shake things up and make things interesting. Maybe we need that after the boring Tory times. For now, still undecided between...

Yeah, hence any progressive should run a more generic "fix what's broken" campaign, which can be justified into anything later. There was an article in the star the other day about someone in Forest Hill breaking their ankle due to improper snow clearing. I'm sure this is noticed across the city...

Oh, the roads are quite bad. But, I assure you, as someone who drives, bikes and walks, the state of the sidewalks and bike lanes, is much, much worse.

I have a more fun secret dream if I am ever declared King of Toronto. Choose one block of semis/SFH somewhere random in the city every month and raze it to the ground completely, then approve new mid-rise development for the area with large floor plans, and give the displaced families a unit...

Yeah, I don't blame him at all. If I was in a position to not have to work and spend extra time with my two young kids, I would take it in an instant. I've given up on promotions and move ups precisely because I don't want to be at work one second more than I have to. And sure, they won't care...

I agree with you on where the sentiment develops from. In fact, many other friends who do earn 6 figure incomes are also worried about immigration, since 6 figures is a struggle for someone looking to buy a house to raise a family in Toronto. There is definitely a mismatch in policies which are...
