    Feeding wildlife prohibited April 2023

    There are certainly hawks and some falcons in the city. You can probably see big Red-tailed hawks circling around overhead every day, or sometimes perched on the top of utility poles, and occasionally eating something they've caught (and I think most are fascinated or even happy to see it, not...

    This Bullock's oriole must have made a Bugs-Bunny-like 'wrong turn at Albuquerque' to be in Toronto, a thousand miles away from the closest places it would normally be seen.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Also, a one-time event that may well be a non-event if it's an overcast day. Maybe, but even disregarding the weather, these kind of free event things can often be unpredictable for crowd size. I've been at Woodbine Park on Canada Day a few times when they've had bands playing all afternoon and...

    If the fake owls at Keele and Dundas are intended to scare away pigeons, it's not working.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    It sounds like something said by a mayor who doesn't use GO or any other public transit, and doesn't understand how it works. There isn't reserved seating. I suppose people can buy GO tickets online, but I don't see how that would do anything to guarantee you would get a seat on a particular...

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    I had to check Wikipedia for the number of forgettable names that the Oakland Coliseum has had. That makes it difficult for people to remember and deters them from using whatever the current name might be. The 3200-seat theatre formerly known as O'Keefe Centre is I think now on its fourth name...

    Toronto events and festivals

    I'm assuming these festivals for the most part get their revenue from corporate sponsorship. There just isn't an unlimited supply of that available to be obtained, particularly once you get past the banks and major fast food chains. There's so many of them that it's probably unavoidable that...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    The Air Canada bus service was announced about three weeks ago and mentioned in the Hamilton Airport thread.

    Pickering Toronto | Porsche Experience Centre Toronto | ?m | ?s | Porsche Cars Canada | HOK

    Yes, as I mentioned in another post, there is an increasing number of these "country club" type of tracks. I guess the comparison is to golf. Some become members, clubs may rent the track for a day, others may pay for a one-time short use. This one doesn't look much like it's been built to have...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    One of the more distinctive and grotesque TTC stops has reopened after being closed off for two or three years. It's the streetcar stop at The Queensway and Parkside, accessible only by a stairway. It looks like covering the old graffiti with gray paint was the only thing that's changed. Here's...

    Homelessness on GTA Transit (catch all)

    I think more people are better understanding the situation now. We're not helping these mentally unsound people by leaving them alone, particularly the ones endangering themselves by climbing onto the tracks and walking into the tunnels (and it sounds like they actually are arrested). I would...

    Time Zones and Daylight Savings

    We were an hour out of sync with NY state and the rest of the USA for much of one winter in the 1970s. It wasn't that big of a problem, and that's why even most people who are old enough to remember that time have forgotten about it. It would be even less of a big deal now with the better...

    Time Zones and Daylight Savings

    We've been waiting for more than three years. (B.C. also passed a similar bill.) Maybe Ontario should just do it anyway on our own. It might encourage the neighbouring jurisdictions to follow, and if they don't, would it really be a huge problem? Some people who cross the border for work at...

    Homelessness on GTA Transit (catch all)

    Yes, along with the other more serious problems of these people who should be in psychiatric institutions, conscientiously placing their garbage in the appropriate receptacles is not one of their strong suits.

    https://www.nwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Birds/Bald-Eagle That's good. Any time I can see a bird nest, my immediate thought is that it won't last very long. If I can tell it's there, so can all the potential predators like raccoons, squirrels, cats, blue jays, crows, etc. (or...

    Toronto events and festivals

    JFL doesn't just promote those two festivals, but also various other individual events at other times, such as Seth Meyers in Ottawa and Toronto this weekend -- if those are still happening and not also cancelled? (Edit: The Seth Meyers shows went ahead as scheduled.)...

    Homelessness on GTA Transit (catch all)

    So then what is the problem now? Is it a lack of psychiatric institutions or spaces inside them, or just the unwillingness to enforce the law because of the bad optics they feel it presents? Whether it's intentional or not, people and particularly politicians who constantly misdescribe this as...

    Dollarama

    There's two plazas in Mississauga across the road from each other that both have Dollaramas, on Dundas east of Dixie (1475 Dundas St E, and 1476 Dundas St E are their adresses as listed on the Dollarama website).
