some places picked up this quote as saying hes considering buying the 407. It more of leans toward him never actually counting out buying the 407. Hes considering both options, both the tunnel and the 407

Naw i know ive seen those before

So this might be a question for the general OL thread, but now im confused. the restoration of the 3rd track wont be done until after the 2nd half of the bridge is replaced right? That new bridge looks massive, looks more than enough to carry 3 tracks

guys its a bot. report and move on

I feel like thats way too small scale to bring in the federal minister of infrastructure. Unless you connect it to "smarttrack" and the money the feds gave for that

Theyve done 2 groundbreakings for pape and king/bathurst so MSF kinda makes sense?

"east york" is quite a general area. Though id put money on TOC related announcement

location: east york I could see questions asked about the lawsuit that global reported on

I dont see how. The city isnt obligated to renew the lease. Nor are they obligated to renew it on demand. I havent fully read the triparte agreement, but theoretically they can hold off for a long time on this right? All the way till at least 2030?

Again not a lawyer, this could be the case, if it is. PP will expropriate instead of ford

Well yes but no. The Ontario Government can change laws relating to the city they made at any time. Including the borders of cities and election law. What they didnt say was that the province could simply take land owned by the city...

There's a reason I mentioned Ontario place in that comment, because had Chow not backed off, the city could have fought that expropriation for a long-time causing delay to the build of the spa. Could they hypothetically hand wave something into law to take over the land? Unless the province is...

Im not too versed in how elections ontario/elections canada is run outside of election season. This is nothing. its just a job opening that lasts until the next scheduled election in June of 2026

So like I dont think its ever been the case where 2 entities want to expropriate the same property at the same time LOL. But my guess would be that ford intervenes which backs PP away since its not really his fight.

Remember, Chow gave up the small piece of land that the Ontario government needed. Hypothetically Ford could order Expropriation but would need to pay market value for that land. Could take a few years but you couldnt really stop it. The feds under PP could probably do the same.

From when I was in high school in Durham region, we did pay for lunches. it was like 3$ in 2010 dollars for a Jamaican patty. It would have been awesome to have free lunches. not like i went hungry, but basic sandwiches and pre-made lunches werent the healthiest. Elementary school didnt have...

I do find the cognitave dissonance hilarious here. “Studies have come out that we’ll be at full capacity in another 20, 25 years on the 407 — that defeats the purpose,” Ford said. So....How long until this tunnel will be at capacity? LOL

JEEEZ thats an old map whats the date on that
