It's rage farming! I don't mind the tuition rebate/waiver for those that choose to practice family medicine. However, there needs to be a large overhaul of how physicians are compensated. So much time, energy, and expense goes to paperwork and administration.

Crossposted from the TTC Other Items thread. The St Clair streetcars will be replaced with buses Bathurst to St Clair station for approximately 3 weeks due to a sewer collapse west of Yonge. Edit to add snip from TTC website

Probably true... But the "Mayor of Toronto" – Doug Ford – seems to care, and it wouldn't surprise me if he can massage the opening for good news if/when he springs an absolutely unnecessary, early election

Update is this will be 2-3+ weeks. They also described this is a void due to a sewer collapse. Edit: spelling

From an article in today's Star. This announcement, if enacted, would largely affect non-Ontarian Canadians.

Yes, I'm aware. I work in healthcare and with resident physicians. I know of foreign residents that had to work in a certain province for x time as a condition of maintaining their license. I can't speak for all specialties.

True. Some people think they can study abroad in (e.g.) the Caribbean and have no problem get a residency match. They are bitterly disappointed.

The Phoenix announced today that they have an agreement in place to stay at 410 Sherbourne through 2025 into early 2026. Update with a Link

Not all Canadians that study abroad match for residency.

Agreed. The Danforth lanes are theoretically wide enough to pass another bike, but I find it is very difficult to do so as the rightmost part of the lane is often unusable due to road conditions. This will change as bike lanes are permanently integrated. (The Danforth lanes were done quickly)

WestJet owns Sunwing now. I thought they were going to merge the brands, but I don't have time to verify that right now Thank you @KingJames below! 👇

Weekly update, moody skies edition

Municipalities have largely operated independently of the Province. Yes, this government has shown micromanaging tendencies. But I don't think anyone anticipated them doing this. Of course Doug Ford is still pissed that we didn't anoint him mayor, so ...

From The Star: Sinkhole on St Clair: no streetcars St Clair to Bathurst for 1 week or more. St. Clair streetcar detouring due to sinkhole The sinkhole apparently started yesterday after a report came from Toronto Water stating they need to do emergency repairs. Updated 4 mins ago Oct. 22, 2024...

It's as likely to be observed as a "drivers: put car in neutral and push car through construction zone"

Yesterday, Leaside bridge

This government has never tried to save money; they may say they are but their actions show otherwise

Edit: normal service has resumed as of 6:35 am. Another hydraulic fluid leak on the tracks this morning. No service on line 2 Kennedy to Woodbine.

One of the areas of greenery for the WDCB south of the OSC that was cut down was where a whole bunch of deer ate and hung out. They're apparently rather distressed! (This is from posts in the Beauty fo The Don group on FB)

Today from the Leaside bridge. Definitely a smidge taller than 1BE!
