I admire Sue-Ann Levy for fighting for what she believes, but she's been a Ford supporter since the moment he jumped in the race, and she's quite clearly biased against Smitherman and Pantalone. She has that right, but trying to use her writing to justify comments about Smitherman is making...

If I had the money and could reliably get to Durham College from inside TO, I probably would. When I get done with school, perhaps. Besides, one can be a guy who likes Toronto who lives in its suburbs, ya know. ;)

Yes. Bush was at least somewhat educated and experienced. Still dumb as a brick, but at least somewhat able to comprehend what he was saying and doing. Palin and O'Donnell don't know or don't care about the damage they are doing to their societies. I hope it's don't know, because if they don't...

Sticking to the point of the thread, I have to imagine their is ways of making it so that traffic flows more easily in the downtown core. Yes, driver habits and more mass transit help, but I am sure there is ways of physically it easier. I'm just tossing into the wind here, but I'm thinking...

Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin make Rob Ford look like a fucking genius. Ford has political experience and has a business beyond that. Palin is an ex-reporter who got to be governor on her looks, O'Donnell rode to political fame on the back of media-stirred hatred of those in power...

1) Thanks. 2) Its becoming more of a city all the time IMO. The Durham College/UOIT development has changed so much. Lots still needs to be done, but the city's center is starting to live again. There is an actual transit system here, and if you are in the older parts of town transit isn't...

if you go that route, you also have the option of upping speeds incrementally. Modern diesel-powered trains can run regular speeds of up to 90 mph (150 km/h), assuming cab signals are installed and work is done to reduce the number of level crossings. Assuming they build the line to a high...

I agree fully. Transit City is too small of a plan IMO. They need to think big here.

I would imagine that if monorails (Yeah, dammit, I said it! :D ) are looked down upon it would probably be because people think of them as suited for amusement parks and places with less well developed transport systems. Hell, I just also said that the Toronto Tunnel idea should be taken...

I'm not gonna cause flamewars over Ford or his policies. What is the point? Ford IMO just represents anger. Misguided and potentially destructive anger, but causing more anger is attempting to make two wrongs equal a right. That makes no sense at all, does it? @ toto: Yes, the Eglinton LRT is...

Now, I imagine I may be about to get a load of crap here, but what the heck, I'm going for it in any case. I've been a lurker here for some time, and I just took the time to register. Before I go on, I'll explain that I am a 25-year-old college student (business, marketing major) who lives in...
