In terms of economies of scale besides losing out on the bulk purchasing savings realized from the Worlds #1 purchaser of Liquor the LCBO there would be "more" savings made through economies of scale when you consider the integrated purchasing of Greater Toronto Area Transit, Municipal, Office...

Well based on the present crop of so-called Candidates I guess you got my vote :cool:

Ermmmmmmmmmm yeah that's why I added it to the mix to highlight previous TTC experiments that apparently confounded the beejesus out of the Patrons much like taking a train northbound from Davisville to Eglinton to travel Southbound to King would cause. :cool:

Hey hold-on a minute a TTC Engineer definitely might

"Below the main platform for Bay Station is an abandoned platform, which was used for only six months in 1966 when the TTC experimentally ran trains whose routes included portions of both the Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth lines. This abandoned platform is sometimes referred to as Lower Bay...

I would like to think that a GTA with Provincial status or at least powers might be able to attract a better, more capable class of Candidate & Leadership. Instead of people that dabbled as Immigration & Labour Lawyers and attempted to manage a City Councillors Office Budget for a few years .

Can anyone point to just 1 project this Toronto Municipal organization has been involved in or completed as of yet ? The City of Toronto is the economic engine of Canada and one of the greenest and most creative cities in the world. Build Toronto is the city's new economic development...

I'll go one better & advocate that the GTA (Halton, Peel, Toronto, York, Durham) band together and separate from Ontario and be given Provincial status. A GTA with Provincial Status would be able to collect income taxes, Liquor Taxes, Gas Taxes, Sales Taxes, get rid of property taxes (or keep...

Adam reminds me of a lesser Tommy Carchetti

LOL that made me laugh

It means that they will continue to provide the same crappy service but at a much slower pace !

Nicole "Snooki" is a self proclaimed "guidette" from Marlboro, New York outside of Poughkeepsie and an aspiring veterinary technician. She describes her ideal man as one who fits the guido stereotype and enters the experience hoping to meet the man of her dreams. She is the center of controversy...

The cars are being built by Bombardier in Thunder Bay. The new trains were initially expected to enter service in late 2009, however as of February 2010, the TTC has yet to receive the delivery of the first train. The delivery schedule has been placed since then in a holding pattern due to the...

A Poster on another Forum that claims to be a Driver says their is quite a bit of talk amongst the Union Brethern to pull a surprise Wild Cat Strike in protest of the ill treatment the TTC Staff at the hands of the Media & Riders as of late. LOL I hope they do they will receive absolutely no...

A playground for the GTA's Organized Crime Syndicates to launder their ill gotten gains :cool:

All those that you've listed do not use Road Salt. The dust kicked-up from the crushed Road Salt gets into the inner workings of all sorts of things such as Signalling equipment & Electrical Transformers. Road Salt mixed with dampness is a menace. Scarborough RT, all uncovered portions of the...

Well here's to hoping on the Signal System.

That and that the Candidates are utterly lacklustre & why wouldn't that be the case (lacklustre candidates) when the job comes with very little power and the Mayor has to go begging cap in hand to the Ontario Premier & Canadian Prime Minister to attempt to get some of the surplus taken in taxes...

Thanks for the insult Justin ! Okay okay fine currently Viva is a bus in mixed traffic with the added bonus of jump-off lanes. Phase 2 will be a dedicated BRT. All I am saying is that if this City cannot expand the Sheppard Subway, build an Eglinton Subway & a Downtown relief Line then...

An isolated Island ? We would still be part of Canada. I would invite the surrounding municipalities of Durham, York, Peel, Halton & Hamilton to join. Last time I saw figures 25% or so of annual immigrants to Canada settled in within the GTA good luck luring. Good luck luring away business when...
