https://apple.news/AEsKwo7LJRvOG2Hdme51FPA It’s the end for Scheer. I didn’t realize how socially conservative his views were. His economic policies were anything but conservative. Opportunistic and populist. What a lump.

I thought it, but didn't say it when I wrote the first post. For the reason you have stated, the board has a conflict that renders it ineffective. This governance structure is a waste of time. It is meant to separate the TTC from council meddling, but it clearly lacks teeth.

Don't get me wrong. I was not thinking of buying from a production line like buses. I realize that this is a once every half decade purchase I am decrying that the business (TTC) is not executing a plan approved by its operating board to make the necessary purchases to maintain the fleet at...

Which still does not eliminate the need to buy needed equipment on time in order to meet normal customer demand.

Are they somehow weird?

I wonder why streetcars are so special that the board of the TTC can't see its way to buying streetcars when it is regular, normal business to buy buses each year. We have made the ordinary and normal into an event as significant as scaling Mount Everest.

Touché

Alive.

I'd probably disapprove of them too. I've had enough crassness in public discourse. It should be kept here - on urbantoronto - where we can relish it privately. :rolleyes:

That is unnecessary and unbecoming of a newspaper in North America's second-largest English language newspaper market.It is shockingly crass and unhelpful. And perhaps a sign of the times.

They were gagging on the bullshit and personal attacks that lasted for 40 days in place of a reasoned debate on solid policy platforms designed to enhance the prosperity of the nation and address issues of importance to the citizenry.

I was going to say something ungentlemanly like "because he is an arrogant dick politicizing Albertans' fears about their economy to build his personal brand and exaggerate differences with the rest of the country", but I don't want to say something so ad hominem. So I'll just say he gives off...

Overall, tonight's results are a puzzler. This is going to be divisive for the country and we will need skilled leadership to keep it all together. It is sad to see French Quebeckers supporting the BQ. Although I didn't vote Green, I can see that this issue is now central in a majority of...

There is another problem with Conservatives right now. They have decided to appeal to the base. This anti-intellectual shit is a big turn-off. A lot of women had a problem with Andrew Scheer. Lisa Raitt's loss is a big loss for them. And the Green's gains mean that there is no party that hopes...

It would be a very short debate.

And you missed or didn't believe the polls indicating his unpopularity? It seems we are smarter than we look. The province can see him for what he is. There are too many with too much common sense and whose values are offended by the possibility of Scheer to fall for this. Ford. Trump. Ford II...

Cela n'arrivera jamais. Il ne parle pas français. En fait, il parle à peine une langue. That will never happen. He can't speak French. In fact, he can barely speak one language. How far we have fallen from the Mulroney days. Very sad.

Borgen?

That was not top of mind.

MUP =... My brain is struggling to decode this acronym.
