Is Waterfront LRT a priority or a pipe dream?: transit advocates Proposal needs a bump on city’s priority list, Coun. Mark Grimes says NEWS JUN 12, 2019 BY VERONICA APPIA TORONTO.COM https://www.toronto.com/news-story/9428577-is-waterfront-lrt-a-priority-or-a-pipe-dream-transit-advocates/

To be clear, you are quoting the REM spokesperson, not @p_xavier . I was just checking some background on claims. Readers might find this interesting: http://www.cat-bus.com/2016/08/the-caisses-debunking-debunked/ Unfortunately Anton is now missing in action, the last blog was a year and a...

Other aspects of discussion in play aside, that's a profound statement to make in a legal sense. I wonder if something in REM's governance verifies that? I suspect that statement is going to be seized on by a number of persons as per the mandate for REM. Again, very close parallels to the...

That was expressed almost exactly that way by...Geez, who was it now, in today's press...I forgot where I put my memory... Here you go! Still up on my taskbar: After a decade of defeats, NDP’s Andrea Horwath still ‘just good enough’...

It's already been done on a number of issues. And the Feds have intentions of doing more. No-one has been more vociferous on this than Adam Vaughan. Drug injection sites, for instance. The Feds have been financing some municipal programs for decades directly w/o provincial participation. I'll...

A point I've discussed with another poster is that with the leadership polls, "None of the Above" is the result. All the leaders are quite unpopular. With this, and the NDP on the brink of an open schism, and others in the major two parties feeling only loosely connected, the Greens won't stand...

Until such time as newer technology (by our standards, we're already over a gen behind most advanced nations) and a more integrated regional system and fares are integrated, there will be no "improvement (in)...operating cost efficiency". In fact just by adding more of the same in terms of 15...

And more: It's an investment in the health of the nation.

Indeed PNR, under contract to CP, for the Diamond. As is...I have some more info, but I'm loathe to divulge it, the super was good enough to tell me what he did. But let's say that what you see is what you're going be getting for some time at the Davenport Diamond.

I think that's optimistic save for specialty applications where regulators will be willing to offer waivers. Five or six years will be needed for the first working trials to show what must be addressed, how cost effective and how the performance fares. There remains every reason for Ontario...

^ This was discussed briefly (in this string?) as per the 'flyover' (in purple) being (gist) "back on" as per @crs1026 . The map is an almost complete admission or acceptance by the present QP/ML regime that their (gist) "Close working relationship with CN" is appeasement and not CN's...

You keep repeating the same sorry mantra: The LRV derailed, and was out of control. That that doesn't concern you is symptomatic of your continual denial of best practice. It's all about the superficial replacement of panels to you, not the physics of stability, safety and mitigating the...

Just thinking about this some more...and of all the coverage on on JWR and JP (two MPs I have immense respect for, I'd gladly campaign for either/or) it's been an 'all or nothing' approach from the press. "Did they join the Greens or not?" What hasn't been discussed that I can recall is the...

Without bringing the situation to light in a public forum, going by the results of any previous investigation, it will not be published. There's only a few orgs in Canada that will release information freely, even if FOI mandates the release. Anyone have any details on the last Ottawa DD bus...

Is your theory Relativity? Interesting...

I already responded to it within an hour (edit: Couple of hours) of it being posted. It's trite. It's a classic case of obfuscation and pap stock answers that say nothing. Most of the answers refer to the footage we've all been quoting from the Town Hall meeting. They still refuse to post a...

Excellent heads-up. This may or may not have been the product of of an intrinsic weakness, I'm sure the Nords will fully investigate, but it is the nature of Hydrogen, and this might be a sobering wake-up call to counter the avid hype being touted for H.

The tram hit the car. Look at the pictures. There is no sign of lateral scrape on the SUV. The tram is over thirty times the weight of object impacted, with no sign of lateral force being transferred from the pic posted of the SUV side. There is one distinct possibility detailed in my earlier...
