Does a single councilor practically have any ability to approve or deny development in their Ward? Is Ward 14 an oasis in the sea of condos going up in the city? (Asking honestly, I don't have a clue) If I look at density data from the city Ward 14 is comparable to Ward 18 and 19, and...

And how on earth do you get anyone interested to watch that debate?

if someone is polling at 96%, you live in a tin pot dictatorship (or Brampton circa Hazel McCallion :) )

You are discounting a municipal candidate because he is not interested in discussing provincial and federal governance? Sounds like you have your priorities straight :(

Sorry, I misspoke -its actually a *100 year* costing, and yes its patently ridiculous. Nobody can predict with any accuracy the maintenance costs associated with a rebuild that far out (try to imagine the year 2100!). The *standard* in most construction projects is 30 year, not 100 year. 100...

I think most people will think its silly to have two highways (the QEW and DVP) no longer be joined together. Anyone who is mildly interested will realize the cost savings are costed over 50 years - a plainly absurd timeframe to estimate anything. The only way to sell it might be to convince...

On a related note, is there a website that is tracking polling for individual ridings?

Even if her plan was literally exactly the same as what Tory has promised, I would trust her ability to move it forward much more than his. It's not a bold vision at all, really. Its basically "Lets stop fucking around with new bold visions, and actually build the visions that are already on...

Very happy you were able to reinforce your already made up mind, over the existance of a single GO station on a plan.....

Its where you make money by being innovative :D I live in Ward 36, its an awful decision to make. Right now I'd have to suck it up and vote for Crawford. He has terrible politics but he is a surprisingly decent ground game councilor.

What is "well-used"? Right now ~200 users/day. Is that well used? I'm not sure. What I can say is that I drive on Woodbine often, and I do find the lanes are really really badly implemented. They zig zag all over the place, sometimes there are parking spots to the right of the lane, sometimes...

It does seem likely that that was the plan at some point. However, the facts on the ground are that it's not and will never be, subway station or no.

I don't know what your definition of Downtown is, but to me it implies a population density and a density of attractions. Neither of which applies to the area around STC, despite the municipal building and smattering of office buildings. And it certainly has no hope of ever being what Jane...

I just did let you know otherwise :) Similarly, I would not consider Dufferin and the 401 the "Downtown" of North York just because Yorkdale mall is there.

STC is Scarborough's downtown? Have you ever been to STC? To the extent Scarborough even has a downtown, I reckon its probably already somewhere around Warden and Kennedy stations. The Crossdown is going to do more to rejuvinate Eglinton then a subway to STC ever will.

Scarborough councilors complaining about Downtown councilors meddling in local affairs is rich, considering all the meddling they do into downtown affairs. And I say this living in Crawford's Scarborough ward!

He is certainly no Paul Ainslie, and I pretty much disagree with every position he takes on council. On the other hand, I do have to give him credit for being a very effective advocate for the Ward, and he does seem to care and be responsive to constituent requests. I have a feeling Berardinetti...

So, Tory’s accomplishment is his bland lack of accomplishments? I concede that he was the right candidate in 2014. The mandate to do nothing is expired now.

Both Miller and Ford had more accomplishments under the same weak mayor system. Ford got his done in the first year! In the latter case certainly not accomplishments I was in favor of, but accomplishments nonetheless.

Not an accomplishment Until and unless King St Pilot is permanent, not an accomplishment. SSE was Ford/Stintz accomplishment. What funding did he actually get? Not really an accomplishment This is his only real accomplishment (until Land Transfer payments drop this year and he needs to cover...
