    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Oh, please. I vaguely more or less support the 3 stop extension, and that's still nonsense. Ford and Tory run on a platform of "finding efficiencies". The SSE is anything but an efficiency. If you asked a dozen Ford supporters about how to cut taxes, they'd talk about "cutting waste". From...

    Car2Go Illegal Parking - Solutions?

    Only if they have an app and VC funding. Do tickets not escalate here? First parking ticket is $X, 3rd is $X*4 until the driver gets the point? That seems like a simple solution.

    You are wiser than I am. I may follow your example, though, and add him to the other "why don't we get a subway!" poster.

    Sorry, meant to go back and add that. Specifically to Coffey1

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    First: if Scarborough has been neglected, post the numbers. Show budget numbers that contrast investment per capita in the four wards. (Hint - Scarborough gets its share of the city budget. It costs a lot to maintain those long roads, and those long sewer pipes and to send people out on...

    Okay, I'd like you to take a second and read the post I made so you'll see I agree with you.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Yes. Ford lied more about more things than the typical politician. A lot more. To be fair, in some cases he was simply unaware of (and indifferent to) whether what he has said was true our not. His reality was orthogonal to truth, so saying "he lied" was what I call a misnomer. I've...

    The bad attitudes really do mostly seem to be on, well, your side (didn't you tell him he could walk so you can have that seat?)

    You do in the thing I quoted. The bit about suburban cockroaches. The problem is, the last seat is gone. It's gone now, and to the extent it wasn't, it was given to someone who paid for it (by living in the city where the taxes for it were collected). You want to know why it was given to a...

    I have no interest in doing so, nor did I suggest it. And in fact, we're going to get more and more of them. There is a big difference between attempting to stop non-residents (which I don't want to do) and being called a Trump supporting xenophobe for wishing to allocating capital for a...

    Richmond Hill Toronto | Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Everyone is worried about it. It is one of the major arguments against extending the Bloor subway to STC. And when anyone brought it up, those in Scarborough argued exactly what you're arguing (only, instead of playing the suburbanites card, there were subtle and less than subtle accusations...

    TTC: Budgeting, Fares and Financials

    (You are correct that the last one didn't increase the cash fare). I should have been clear that I was speculating, and that it is not certain that they will increase the metropass at (cash*multiple). I hope you're right, but I would expect a hefty increase in Metropass prices. All I've seen...

    TTC: Budgeting, Fares and Financials

    Assuming the cash fare goes to $3.25, then I would expect the cost of a metro pass to go to $162.50 (they'd keep the multiple, times the new rate).

    I'm pretty sure you're legally required to use Uber to get that "mint" rococo open armchair home.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    You can load from source code onto your own device. You can load this onto your phone by downloading the current copy of xCode (free on the app store), downloading this and compiling. To be fair, doing that will take longer than it took the author to write it. There is no security at all in...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    I would suggest you ought to ask them. They clearly don't agree with your assessment.

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    The bit where it's against the law, and Uber could easily have sent someone to the city first to change the rules? But they decided not to? To what degree are you comfortable allowing people to break the law to make money?
  19. J

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    So they have good reason to protest?
  20. J

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    It may well not be (although, to be honest, it might be). Do you mind if we let our elected representatives change the law, rather than just having a private company ignore it?
