everyone will agree to my national housing program if we make the housing all art deco and mid century modern
My zoning code would only have two rules: glass tower skyscrapers should be adjacent from stonework ornamented ones to maximize cool reflections and there should be a Jamba Juice in every airport terminal. Otherwise, build whatever you want.

At $240M/km, Finch West LRT is…
- MORE expensive per-km than the Sheppard Subway
- 2X the per-km cost of the Montreal REM & underground metros in other developed nations
… for a tram that’s SLOWER than a bus in traffic.
Let’s not mislead the public; Line 6 should be the 536 Finch West streetcar!

I have been periodically saying this for a while, but the movie is far more compatible with the worldview of the knuckle-draggers than most people think
Rewatching Sicario for the first time in 6 or 7 years.
I’m reminded of how easy it might be for some 22 y/o to watch this movie and join CBP thinking that if they play their cards right they’re going to be an operator fighting cartels rather than kidnapping construction workers off of the street.

The estimated budget for the Waterfront East "LRT" (streetcar with tiny tunnelled section) is $2 billion?!?! Subway prices for 4km of streetcar. Glad we'll spend next year's municipal election talking about a made up crime surge.

Toronto deliberately killed apartment construction in the early 1970s, after a generation-long building boom.
Almost all of that housing was built by “the market.”

Wild that Toronto, which is Canada's largest city and has Canada's first subway system, now has the smallest metro system in Canada by quite a margin. I don't think it is the busiest either.

Interesting to see the city council undoing amalgamation brick-by-brick.
The neighbourhood retail report as amended CARRIES 23-2.
Toronto Council votes to permit corner stores in all Old Toronto & East York wards, and expands permission for retail on some (but not all) major streets city-wide.

Do you have a loicense to sell zany things?
Councillor Holyday worries about retail stores that "sell some zany thing that has very little value." He wants to know if council could define a list of what stores can sell.
Staff say they can regulate things like size, noise and property standards, but generally not what stores sell.

left NIMBYism is a study in cognitive dissonance and paradoxes:

the homes are simultaneously “luxury” yet “shitholes”

Who cares? Bond has been re-cast many times without an on-screen explanation. Craig-Bond’s pursuit of an origin story and a semblance of on-screen continuity was its downfall.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

For anyone who thinks this government actually cares about universities & colleges, consider the following statement from the budget.
"New international student arrivals have also declined by approximately 60 per cent compared to 2024. This is a start, but
we recognise there is more work to do."
