And what if the City says no? Then what? Dissolve Toronto? The City is a creature of the province but that has to do with defining the former's structure rather than operational control.

What do you mean by city? The capital-C City? IIRC the population there has dropped from over 100k to under 10k residents these days so voting is heavily influenced by business interests (historically business owners even got extra votes in the parliamentary elections.) It's mainly office...

Look at the colour of the traffic lights.

Vancouver's system is also much more radial than Toronto's. Getting downtown is easy but the "perpendicular" routes between suburbs (that intersect the routes headed toward downtown) can be quite infrequent. So I'd say it's integrated to a purpose. Since I never shared that purpose it was awkward.

The parking lot across from the court house? I'm not sure it's a great location for such a tall building, as the PATH connection would be of such poor quality (via City Hall garage). Also, does anyone know who owns the land? (My off-hand guess would be the province). A lot of the office...

Thankfully everyone can walk through the PATH system instead. Except, of course, those heading to Trump...

I thought it was only a "parking lot" because of arson? (I know the Wiki page says that the church was replaced by the large extant retirement building, but the old building seems to have been located on the corner?) [Ed: I see everyone knows this].

When was this? They sometimes run out of certain items (cheese plate, penne) but I've never had them run out of everything. And if they did run out of food for the in-seat meals, why wouldn't they have similarly run out if the food was stored instead in a central cafe car?

I don't understand this. Why isn't there a path down the hill, north from the station. Instead people who don't want to take the bus 1 block have to make a lengthy detour to the east first? There don't even appear to be sidewalks. I suppose if a ramp is not possible GO might not want to make an...

Because the west has a relief line already: The University Line.

Have you ever actually been to Target? It's quite different from Walmart. Yes, the clothes aren't good (the localized Roots collaboration pieces suck) but when it comes to housewares they sell some nice stuff. Lots of interesting organic cleaning products at 20% less than somewhere like Shoppers...

I think I've seen things parked on it, but I could be imagining that.

Generally, no. The baseline understanding in our legal system is that the Legislature is supreme, and is free to change its mind. It can pass a law today saying one thing, and another tomorrow which says the opposite. Indeed, it can revoke early legislation either explicitly, or implicitly, i.e...

I'm not sure what you mean by this exactly. The Constitution divides power between the Federal Government or the Provinces. It does this by setting out a few dozen subjects, and saying who gets to legislate on what (plus a catch-all provision for unlisted items). So when you say veto, you're...

Why would a streetcar get dirty? It's in the middle of the road, the highest point. A bus is constantly changing into the curb lane to pick people up, and that's where the water collects, hence puddles. In fact, it's possibly worse at the stops themselves, as you tend to get potholes there. Not...

The secret is (or was) to go to the 7-11 in the basement of the airport and buy a standard book of tickets, rather than pay for a single faire from the machine at the station (which will apply an airport surcharge). It's an easy way to gouge out-of-towners.

Festive? It's a row of nightclubs where last call is 3am. Most sane people would avoid the area if not actively drinking, given all the fights. I suppose the police cars' flashing lights did provide a certain atmosphere.

Electric trains would help a little because they can accelerate faster, which is more important when you have more stops.

Not sure. I do know that when it snows the system is not reliable so they have to bring more staff in, either in the stations or on the trains themselves to override the system.

Hmmm... one of these things is not like the others. Real classy.
