    General railway discussions

    If China thinks KFC is good dining we have little to worry about.

    Kotsy's Toronto Photos

    Cool shots. I saw this on FB, apparently taken from an aircraft.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Expecting serious musings out of Ford is like expecting the same out of Trump. If he really cared about the justice system he would put money into the bits his government is currently responsible for. That's right up there with him and Smith wanting the provinces to select superior court...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Fair enough. A strange stance for a G7 country, but fair enough. I think even North Korea has its edifices but could be wrong.

    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    Any owner/investor would want to see a potential profitable business before starting a business or changing hours, especially in the winter. To open for a handful of passengers who may or may not be customers when there is no other business opportunity doesn't sound very attractive from a...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    As I said, bad timing and I'm not defending it. It would be naive to believe that everything a senior executive does is done via Zoom. Curious, should 24 Sussex be bulldozed and sold? Should the current multi-billion renovation of Parliament Hill be scrapped. Maybe they could sell the land...

    I think that's what I said. Where is this coming from?

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    That's the 'pillaging' part.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Sure, like it is registered in his own name. It will be an asset of the Crown in the Right of Ontario. If he loses an election, he becomes citizen Ford and the asset is no longer his problem. I think the timing really sucks, and I'm not defending the purchase, but is the outrage right up...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Not without some major legislative changes and even with that, there might be legal impediments. that I can't immediately think of because it's kind of a bizarre topic. Crown Attorneys are employees of the Ministry of the Attorney General and the province is responsible for the administration...

    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    At least there are towns west of White River. The only one east that in my mind qualify as town is Chapleau. West of White River *might* have decent tourist potential simply because of the coastal scenery. As for accommodations, in a town of 560, read 'not much' and 'basic'.

    As did Mark Carney when he first took office. Employment expenses not reimbursed by the employer are claimable (but I'm not sure if they calculate out at dollar for dollar). Footwear is such a fit and comfort issue most employers leave it to the employee the buy. Even the military gave up on...

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Quite a bizarro world in his head. When Powell's appointment terms is up, it's up, unless it gets renewed or extended. You don't fire a contract employee at the end of their contract.

    In an ideal world, perhaps, but workplaces aren't democracies. So long as a workplace complies with OHSA environmental parameters, trying to enforce subjective parameters such as 'comfort' and 'appropriate' can be an HR minefield.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    I'm not sure how any piece of legislation can make something "socially acceptable". Workplace attire is all part of corporate branding. Bay St. lawyers and accountants have their brand. You want to be a partner, don't wear crocs to work. I don't see anything wrong with a business wanting to...

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    No doubt the Party apparatchiks are drooling for an election but he has repeatedly said he is not interested and so far seems to be able to hold them at bay. Not having to deal with a typical politician must be driving them nuts.

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    One thing I could find is the runway weight limits for Billy Bishop. It seems they aren't published because it is a bit unique in that it is restricted by aircraft type. At least it's not Augusta GA: https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/augusta-regional-airport-private-jets-masters-2026

    That would require an evidence trail to establish, and I suspect they are not that stupid (if true). It would be particularly egregious because it involves and member of the press, but a government influencing the management of any private corporation should be troubling. I am not surprised...

    President Donald Trump's United States of America

    He's adding piracy to his list of accomplishments. Well done for a president of peace. Interdicting a foreign flagged vessel in international waters because they paid a toll he doesn't like sounds like an illegal order to me . Then again, so is blowing boats out of the Caribbean waters, but...

    Ontario Northland/Northern Ontario Transportation

    While agree it would be nice, I don't think there is anything in the tea leaves that indicates the government is willing to expand VIA service. While seasonal highway closures are an issue, I expect the federal government would say that is a provincial problem to solve. Closures have an...
