Yeah, I agree with you guys; I think I'd tend to want to strengthen a hand we hold, yes. Mt. Hope EXISTS. There's a lot of open land around it that, honestly, should be zoned for light industry before it's simply filled up with more residential ticky-tacky and it's too late to do anything...

Yeah, honestly. It's 2019. I would have thought all that cut-and-cover Flintstones stuff would have been a thing of the past after the Yonge line was built. I'm honestly dismayed at how disruptive it is. From Laird to Victoria Park right now, it's nearly impossible to get across Eglinton, even...

See? Case in point.

Frankly, I don't know what you need to do to get re-elected in this country. There's no inflation to speak of... not the like zero-atmospheres eyeball-sucking stuff there was when I was a kid. Unemployment's low. People are working and they have money to spend. We're doing pretty well holding...

Yes, I suppose. But like I said, I COULD vote Tory. If I'd had the vote in '84, I would have voted for Mulroney (though by the time I did in '88, uh uh). Fiscally responsible? Cool. But please, Tories, start finding someone who's okay with living in THIS century, culturally. Give me an option...

Except it isn't. Scheer said what he said precisely BECAUSE there is an audience receptive to re-opening those wounds. There are still a lot of people in this country who are too concerned with the rights other people have to live their own lives in ways they don't happen to agree with, and are...

Dude, are you HIGH? Were you AROUND in the 90s, the closest this country has come to flying apart at high speed? It wasn't the Grits who caused that, it was Mulroney trying to go down in history as the guy who one-upped Trudeau, issued Quebec pie-in-the-sky cheques English Canada would NEVER let...

Works for me! Well, less chuffed about the NDP bit, but hey, you take the bad with the good, I guess.

Overbuild? We're a city of 6.5 million people with essentially the same single, notable international airport we had in 1965 when there were just 2 million of us. Let's be realistic. Ottawa started planning Pickering around the time I was born, and I'm 51 now. It should have built by the time I...

Fascinating. Do you have any projections about how long it will take to build that?

I'm not sure why so much of this came down to an either/or thing between Pickering and Hamilton. Mt. Hope is great; it's there, there's not much around it; I keep thinking if they'd just put a lot of pharma around it, in conjunction with McMaster, it could be a great hub for medicine and help...

I was thinking that the one at Bayview was probably a gas station... in some ground level shots, it looks like there's a B/A British-American sign there. But there sure are an awful lot of park cars in the Leslie location for a gas station. I know cars broke down a lot more in the 60s, but hey...

What's in the coffin they're carrying? The corpse of bigotry? I've seen video of the Orange Day "parade" in Toronto. It takes up ONE side of Queen Street and runs about ten minutes. We've come a long way from the days when you had to be in the Lodge to be Mayor of Toronto or Premier of Ontario...

World record for long distance phone call, 1909... 7'6", the guy in the straw hat to the guy in the bowler hat. WHAT MAN THAT WROUGHT!! :D

Don't you mean... your DEATH...? ???

This has fascinated me since I noticed it in the city's aerial photos and a few oblique angles in ground shots that never seem to quite point in the "interesting" direction. It looks like it was a makeshift solution to the dog's leg on York Mills at Bayview for a few years, but to my surprise...

Yeah, it would, but after all, it's been done before, back in the 70s. You used to be able to turn off the 401 directly north onto the "Airport Expressway". Now you have to remember to take the 409. That's one of the things I'd ameliorate in the process of making provision for collectors between...

Wow, how did they get Ozzy Osborne circa 1982 to start in Intollerance? :)

You have to beware the merits of the maps they put out, right up to the 1960s, in my experience. A lot of those promised streets are vapourware. While you can unquestionably see the division of properties you'd expect to see along a range or concession line, I don't think they ever actually...
