I don't think this will lead to an election. Neither the NDP nor Bloc.are eager for an election. Trudeau may be pressured to resign, but I doubt it.

I doubt people driving through the GTA represent a meaningful amount of peak traffic, nor total trips. If people are driving through the GTA, they are usually smart enough not to do it during peak times. Or they take the 407.

That sound you hear is the Liberals furiously trying to reinflate the bubble. Extending amortizations to 30 years for first time buyers on existing homes (previously it was just new build) and raising the insurable mortgage amount to $1.5M from $1M. Both are designed the prop up prices and...

I really don't understand what expanding the Gardiner would accomplish, the bottleneck is the exits and widening the pipe into the clog that is downtown traffic serves no useful purpose. Decking the 401would be very costly. Maybe it will come to that one day, given the limited opportunities for...

Kind of moot, I imagine, as this government won't be around to issue the RFP.

I'm not sure that reddit group is going to be a very good indication of what the general public thinks. A lot of the folks there are a bit unhinged when it comes to anything the company does. The fact that they remember the box experiment kind of reeks of industry insiderism, tbh.

Yeah? It has 5 stars on google maps with 3 reviews.

How about some orange paint on the curb. Yeesh. The white of the crosswalk makes that curb non-obvious.

If the demand is induced and there is latent demand not being satisfied because they highways are congested, I doubt getting people to take transit will make much difference in highway congestion at peak. You would probably need to pay people who drive not to, or, you know, implement road tolls.

It's rare for a leadership change to help a long in the tooth government cling to power. It's more about saving the furniture.

They're necessary infrastructure, just not the place we should be prioritizing people to live. Highways mostly have employment zones as buffers. Peak Toronto to think it is natural to make as many people as possible live within meters of highest concentrations of exhaust, PM2.5, noise stress and...

It would be entertaining to watch Trump keep the GOP in disarray while he mulls his 2028 bid for re-election.

6 and 8 lane arterials are car sewers. They aren't a place to force thousands of people to live. Maybe you have not seen what the alternative looks like so it seems natural to you.

I've gotten desensitized, similar to the 'donation' prompts at checkouts. I now, as a policy, say "no thanks" regardless of what it is for. All my charitable donations are directly with the organization (no door knockers) through the website, and I get a tax credit. I really don't see why we...

Living within a few hundred meters of any busy road is bad for health and education outcomes. Makes one wonder why we want to pile all the density on the car sewers.

Also kind of amazing to think it isn't the obvious default thing to make bus only lanes whenever streetcar tracks are being serviced, especially on roads with 4 general purpose lanes.

Someone please save us for the cheapo modernist boxes.

The answer is tolls. We will be dragged kicking and screaming to that conclusion, but it is the only thing that can and will meaningfully help.

Makes one wonder if they should keep the bus lanes if they are 2x the speed of the Spadina streetcar. Outrageous.
