Does it really matter if Toronto Hydro will, within a few months, cut it and fill with asphalt?

Walter, that is an AI fake.

It's risky. If you make it all or nothing, there's a chance we get nothing. If the street reconstruction takes places and replaces like for like we are stuck with the current state for another few decades.

I think we should take a lane reduction and traffic calming of Yonge, along with substantial public realm improvements, as a win for now. Once people see how much better it is, they may start to care more about Yonge St and that could push for further improvements in future. Weekend road...

I took a gander at Choice's investor presentation on the proposed acquisition. It looks like they intend to acquire the site, assuming the 'Christie Cookie' development site is 2150 Lake Shore. They may choose to flip it later. Given the state of the condo market, I imagine this isn't going...

He's entitled to his entitlements. How does someone manage to get their car broken into twice in short succession?

Just one YouTuber, Dave Rubin, was paid $400k per month plus signing bonus by Tenet Media, an agent of the Russian government through RT. It was probably funneled through many channels.

So you instead supported the part time call centre operator who took a decade to finish a BA from University of Calgary and said that cryptocurrencies were a good store of value.

There is a concern that if Trump starts ailing, they may pull a "Weekend at Bernie's" and have him sign a bunch of EOs and pardons before admitting he is dead.

It was a dog whistle during an election campaign, and it backfired spectacularly.

The Carney Liberals are to the right of the Trudeau Liberals, in an attempt to forestall the oscillation to the CPC. Probably won't work long term but for CPC bungling and ineptitude. Ford (centre right at best) will give way to something more on the left. Generally the NDP is outside the...

Regardless of what techbros want, professions won't all become 'pointless' overnight. AI doesn't really automate jobs, it automates tasks. Jobs are collections of tasks. Some tasks are more harder to automate than others. Jobs where some of those tasks remain difficult to automate will continue...

I'm not sure why we should consign people to pointless labour like operating elevators, telephone switchboards or digging ditches when we have technology to accomplish that labour without that effort. Driving a car that is capable of driving itself is just about as pointless as operating an...

Better bring back the elevator operators, switchboard operators, ditch diggers, etc.

That's kind of the typical oscillation. Ontario tends to have the opposite end of the spectrum in provincial government vs the federal government. There are periods of overlap, but it tends to flip shortly after. I expect something similar with happen in 2029/2030, when Ford is likely to be...

Citation needed. The housing bubble continued to inflate under Harper.

Gen Z men are increasingly diverging from women in having more socially conservative attitudes towards gender equality, LGBT issues, immigration, etc.

PP's appeal was entirely fatigue with Trudeau.

The problem is that PP is beholden to the significant percentage of the CPC vote and even more significant percentage of the party faithful and donors that are Maple MAGA. PP would have a hard time standing up to Trump when 30-50% of the people he needs to beg for money from think Trump is the...

If the night bus can use Bay, then the downtown section of Yonge is only really needed for when shuttle buses run during regular operational hours for the subway. So, potentially possible to pedestrianize as long as enough clear ROW is left for the shuttle buses to operate safely.
