Maybe it's outsourced? To the old Russian propaganda agency perhaps :p

Exactly. We could easily accommodate population growth quite well, if we got off our ass and plan and build the infrastructure and the city that we need today, rather than what we needed 30 years ago. I consider an extra 1 million people in the city within a decade a good thing. It means that...

Yes, which is why it makes more sense to do it as a subway spur or future LRT line rather than routing for the DRL which is needed within the decade.

With a fully developed Portlands? Maybe 5 minutes. Any transit whatsoever in Portlands is overkill.... unless you're talking about future development plans, as I was.

You could do an above ground subway through the portlands pretty well, I'd think. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the design's pretty much completely up in the air right now, so development could probably be adjusted accordingly. Either that, or just a totally separated LRT. I'm not sure if...

Well, your routing would take the line about 1.5 k off route, which translates into 3-5 minutes, depending on how many stops you want. Not to mention it's 1.5 k more expensive, which might be mitigated by either a spur line going down Cherry, which I would support, or LRTs going down...

I'd prefer either a solid LRT network or a spur line off the DRL. I agree that some kind of RT is needed there, but I think it'd take a bit away from the core function of the DRL to have it wander so far.

What, so it's supposed to look like something that Joe Madureira would spend a week making? In case you haven't noticed, the point of logos is elegant simplicity. The more elegant and more simplistic you can make it, the better it is. Metrolinx's logo is certainly simple, but I find that the...

Well, Sarah Palin isn't the face of the Republicans in the US. Though it would seem that she's getting close, with Tea Partiers taking up an ever growing portion of the right. Still, I'd almost call her a revolutionary figure rather than a politician. Harper's a pretty standard politician...

How is it is boring and slapped together? It's attractive but clean. And why should the TTC remain the TTC? It's not like every transit vehicle is going to get a new green paint job if it goes under control of metrolinx. You could keep the TTC logo but add the Metrolinx logo as well, and use...

Yes, the question is how long you're planning to keep your car. I find that people commonly get a new car every couple of years. I've even seen people consistently get a new car every year on lease, and I find that it's the rare person who will actually keep their car for even a decade, which...

Everything under the sun. It's really quite the experience.

Why not? I love those logos, yllianos.

It's really not that bad. Assuming you're well in shape, it's not a particularly challenging course to get through the city. And going smaller distances like within Scarborough or the Old City, I don't understand why people don't do it more often.

Um, no... I was noting how passengers aren't expected to drive busses and trains on their own. I'm confused, especially considering you had two entire posts about the drawbacks of cars :| And I was actually amazed that I can bike downtown in only twice the time that one would drive down. And...

Ah I agree. It's a lot nicer to have someone else drive for you or, even better, have someone else drive for you while you're whizzing by in a Go Train. And nothing beats a good ol' bicycle for getting you around. I'm quite pleased to have recently learned that I can get downtown from...

I feel like this movie's going to get a lot of word of mouth exposure. I know of very little people who had heard of the movie before this week. Also, IIRC, doesn't it not open in Britain till the 25th? I feel like it'll be a bigger hit there than the US.

I'll bet that plenty of Americans at least would call the Japanese filthy bastards who should all be taught the meaning of humility. But they'd be just as wrong then as they are now with this issue.

And you'd take offence to that? I think it would have been/still could be a great gesture for Japan to do after the war, to show the Japanese people's regret for causing so much death and destruction. Some people certainly need to make the connection that Islam =/= terrorists. Yes, some...

Sorry, but I'm totally alien to this whole peameal thing. I've lived here all my life and have never eaten peameal on a bun ever. And do we really need a special "toronto" cuisine? Why can't our cuisine just be every cuisine under the sun?
