So is Carney going to present something tomorrow worth voting for? It's a conservative budget being supported by conservative Liberals.

Um, why was I not informed that Errol Flynn is a total smoke show? This could save film preservation.

Disney's People Mover is a cost effective solution for the waterfront LRT. Omnimover from Union Station to Queens Quay utilizing the existing tunnel. 509 route expands east, use the Cherry St turnaround or build a new one above ground.
From the IG pages: if the #OttLRT was an interesting journey no one would care if it was a bit slower. Instead we run it thru featureless tunnels, the middle of highways etc; make the trip more interesting, more reliable, more uplifting and more ppl will take it. 1/

Can finally stop reading about transit and road capacity in Toronto and focus on my main dopamine hit - solving theme park capacity issues.

I had to split it up because it's such a big topic. Good news is Part 2 is already half written

Then where is the density in those 200 neighborhoods?
"Some members of council have said there are two Torontos: downtown and the suburbs. And that's not true," says Perks. "There aren't two Torontos — there's one Toronto, with 200 neighbourhoods." He says this process required "fine-grained work" to meet the needs of those neighbourhoods.

Mayor Chow should be blamed for a lot of the crap in this thread right now. So little public leadership and no vision on making Toronto a better city.
Toronto Council meets today! Let's experience it together.
Mayor Olivia Chow has set an item about rental protections as her first key matter, so that'll be considered first. After that: snow.
It'll stream live here. I'll note what's notable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qGe...

Councillor Neethan Shan asks if it's true that, if council allows more retail, there won’t be any way to stop these businesses from selling alcohol and pot.
Staff say licensing processes already exist. And discussions continue re: new city powers to restrict those uses.

I've worked in the casino industry for my entire career, and there is nothing more predatory than sportsbook ads and sponsorship. I watched one world series game on cable and it was legit shocking at how much ad time/space is given to gambling on active, unpredictable events of chance.

In most cities, Costco stores fuel sprawl & car dependency.
In Vancouver, our full-sized downtown Costco has residential towers above & a skytrain station next door. LOTS of customers don’t drive to it.
We live a block from it. We call it “the convenience store.”

The Overlea Blvd Costco in Toronto is pretty easy to get to from Broadview Station. Multiple bus lines make it a 10 minute trip from there.
With an Ontario Line stop next door, the city/province should be working to find an upcoming solution for the awful parking lot.

@peopleforbikes.bsky.social looks at the problem of "e-motos" that are confused with e-bikes. There is confusion everywhere in the e-bike world; it's time to clarify and simplify the rules and get the too-big too-fast two-wheeled things out of the bike lanes.
When it comes to e-bikes, we need "clear, simple, straightforward rules that a nine-year-old can explain."
People for Bikes has recommendations for dealing with the confusion between "e-motos" and e-bikes. I have some too.

3. You could use this opportunity to contact your MP and tell them you do NOT support austerity.
Two things can be true at the same time, Canada.
1. Yes, I’m disappointed with some of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approaches so far, particularly around climate action, and his definations of “nation-building.” We should expect better.
2. Carney is still light-years better than Pierre Poilievre.

I am reading an OLT decision from last week for 155 St. Dennis Drive and geez, I'm shaking my head.
High density form, proximate to rapid transit and 95% of the land dedicated as parkland in the Don Valley. Seems like huge wins all around.
Why did the City of Toronto bother to fight this?!
