Harper is generally despised around our house. But anyone who understands why orange cats are awesome is always welcome for coffee. But only on the subject of orange cats — they can go hang, otherwise.

Congratulations Joe. Ford more years?
Olivia just scored a standing 8 on JohnTory when he admitted he didn't know how much tunneling smarttrack plan needs. Wow. A blank cheque?
its a pretty big thing to not know? Or just let them tell us later? Not smart in my view. Why doesn't JT know what his plan is?

Ok. Answer me this. Does Stevie wear a rug? Does Doug use plugs?

Catholics are only 31% of the population. And there's no reason to think that they all support public funding for Catholic schools. Quebec, OTOH, is overwhelmingly Catholic and stopped funding Catholic schools years ago.Except the halfish that vote and are Catholic. (which was why he went the other way in the first place) It's a third rail until the Province's Catholics are deluded enough against the whole. And the pesky language of the law is a problem too. No party leader will touch it until the playing field has changed.
Easy there, Casita. You're not dying of cancer and Doug Ford is still a long shot. It's Warmington, fercrissakes.
Is that whatcha call a "bad hair day", L-D?
Yer right, Coop. Sometimes Worms is just too much. He should on vigil at Robbie's bedside.
Like Hachikō.

At this point I'll settle for a transportation despot.
A hybrid system is about as far as you can go starting from here. Let every city keep their transit systems (if they want to), but place operational decisions like routing, frequency and fares policy (along with fare collection) in the hands of Metrolinx. The local agencies then contract with Metrolinx to provide buses/LRT/subways on a cost-recovery basis (or cost less municipal subsidies). With the money flowing into and out of a single party you end up with a tfl-type scenario where the central agency contracts bus routes to private operators, but in this case the operators would be municipal (or potentially a public/private mix). Freed from petty city-level politics Metrolinx would then have the power to implement fully integrated transit.
But fuck it if "a subway in every icebox" isn't an easier sell.
