What I don’t understand is how Keesmaat can keep it straight in her head, or assume voters are that stupid, as to believe that she can first criticize politicians for getting in the way of transit planning by drawing lines on a map... and then she draws lines on a map as a politician-hopeful...

I brought up the subway to Pickering “idea” to highlight a stupid idea that specific people may appreciate (like Doug Ford) but people with any sense at all will not. Just like a one-stop subway to an area of the city without the ridership, density, or appropriate built form is. I wasn’t...

Common sense sets the criteria. A subway to Pickering would be faster and more convenient travel compared to other public transit options, but we all know how stupid that idea would be.

No need, it works now. Thanks

That’s a funny joke!

Thanks for this... But the link goes to a page saying images have been moved or deleted.

What will it take for the TPS to give a crap about enforcement here? Are they waiting for the pilot to become permanent?

This is totally off topic.

From that article: “There are people who look at them and say we can never trust these people today,” he said. “I cannot trust my downtown colleagues because I know it's them first, us second.” This is exactly why this guy should never have been a public servant. Feeding animosity between...

Exactly. We should be smarter than this. There needs to be a SOP that if Control sees a major storm on the way (heck, just check the Weather Network on someone’s phone), streetcars are to divert away from known flood-prone sections. It isn’t rocket science.

And that is when a cop is nearby..but that is like 0.001% of the time. Wish a cop was closeby? Crickets. I once called the OPP to report some drivers going 180 km/h (or even faster) on the 410 and the dispatcher told me there was a grand total of FIVE cruisers patrolling the entire 410, 403 and...

To me it is crucially important that at least she bring up the astounding cost elevations of the SSE so as to kickstart a public debate. This needs to be a major election issue.

It’s true, she was involved. She could claim that she supported the SSE only with the original funding envelope and paired with the Eglinton East LRT, not the monstrosity that is before us now. Or she could claim she was coerced by Tory and his cronies.

It seems this project is taking forever. I’ve basically put it out of my mind that it will end any time soon. What was the original estimate for total project duration and what is the current estimate for time to completion? I didn’t have success in finding these answers when searching through...

You bring up an excellent point. While Tory is hiding info on the latest cost estimate for the SSE (surely another escalation is due to be announced), Keesmaat is the perfect person to know if and communicate the ins and outs of demonstrating ridiculous this project is. While I think she is...

This space is much too small for all of that. Typical Cressy over-zealousness without thinking practically.

The announcements are pretty darn funny. The eating on the subway one was hilarious. Great idea by the TTC.

This would be the amazing and satisfying middle finger to Ford that he deserves.

I have reported this numerous times but Google is too dumb to add the yellow line. Amazing.

Yes of course cars mistakenly enter the ROW at multiple points including at Spadina. But I find it hard to believe that cars drive on the ROW from Spadina all the way to the tunnel; there are just too many opportunities to exit, run into a streetcar or have a streetcar in the opposite direction...
