Right now, Uber has pretty significant strategic advantages (lower overhead from not getting a license, surge pricing, not actually paying their taxes) that normal taxi companies don't have. As soon as those disappear, Uber will, too.

When the officer claimed he didn't know that Ford was the real target, he...probably wasn't being completely honest. Since the judge is finder-of-fact, the officer made the mistake of telling the sort of...questionable truth that says "I think you are stupid enough to believe this". It also...

On the other hand, it looks like Lisi's strategy makes sense.

It's interesting. A judge gets to decide whether it's completely acceptable to lie to the courts.

Have you not seen the pictures? It's a thick, vaguely yellow, viscous liquid, with a clearer thing on top. It's gravy (poorly made gravy, with a broken emulsification, but, clearly, gravy).

I thought height and density was spelled out in the official plan, not in the building code. I had no idea it was in the building codes. Hunh. Oddly, this site...

Are you suggesting that Section 37 fees are for "building code violations"?

This may be a dumb question, but, why isn't Ford being held more responsible for the $400,000,000 over run on the Spadina Extension? While it is possible that much of it didn't happen under his watch, much of it must have. I would have thought that "Watching every dime" would have included a...

Tory nicely alpha-dogged Ford down, and then (as a surprised bonus) the Sun tells all its readers that, um, yeah, Tory won and would have won even if Ford stayed in the race. I don't agree with the majority of Tory's policies, but it looks like he did the right thing there.

Not only making this up, but 100% wrong. The 90's recession dramatically lowered riding on TTC. I'm happy to provide cites.

Got it, thanks

a 5% ROI is considered pretty healthy in a non-growth environment. Out of curiosity, where ddid you get the $50 million / year figure from?

I've found that mentally adding #muslimbs to SAL's tweets keeps things in perspective for me.

As I understand it, the drinks that got her the DUI (I have no idea if she is actually a drunk, or if that was a spectacularly poor and out of character choice for her) were bought for her by casino lobbyists. Additionally, she voted with Ford fairly frequently at the beginning of the term...

I have never met Jude, nor can I speak for her, but I do know of her, and have interacted with her, and find it very unlikely that she said "Speculative (sic) sports".

You can hear the "They're all corrupt, Chow lived in public housing / Tory (did something)" already, if you listen hard enough. I doubt it will matter. Conflict of Interest laws in Canada appear to be guidelines, not actual "laws", as such.

No; I'm a software developer. I honestly have no idea when this stuff kicks off, and it's fascinating to me. My question could be better read as "how closely to the other groups of people follow the glass", and "how many of them can work through the winter", but, while I have some idea of the...

Can someone tell someone ignorant of "building a huge building" management what else is going on? In addition to the glass, are there crews of people inside putting in the infrastructure (water, electricity, etc)? Or is it all raising the structure and the external glass right now?

MDMA is a pretty heavy weight drug, and I can't see someone saying "you know what I need to do to get through this? Something that makes me sweat, shake, grind my teeth, dilate my pupils to the size of dinner saucers, and pretty much not be able to do anything but feel." A couple of bumps...

For all the good it will do, I also sent an email to Ms. Leiper: Permits for candidates to use public parks for campaign purposes To whom it may concern: It is difficult to craft this letter without resorting to unprofessional and inappropriate sarcasm (for instance, speculating if city...
