iantri, you are correct that riders also are often uninformed about the best solutions to a problem, but there should at least be good outlets for information sharing. The LA Bus Rider's union, I a...
Thanks for digging up and posting that photo of the Prince Edward Viaduct. I would love to see the ratio of cars and bikes return to this high ratio over the Don! If there ever is a true bicycle lan...
Hey, I always used to take a thermos with white wine in it along with snacks to "Shakespeare in the Park" ... ;-) I will miss the freedom of drinking alcohol in public places when I move back to Toro...
No question that public buildings that are government owned and provide a public service should not be "named". This includes subway stations, post offices, elementary schools, public libraries, fire...
Uh, I did live in rez 1st year at UofT, after having moved to TO from 200km away. I lived in Devonshire House (South House) which was closed and converted to the Munk Centre for International Studies...
Brenda Martin's case was easy, and our government is afraid to take on the American government in a more critical case. After what happened to Maher Arar, how can we trust the U.S. government to pro...

Drying your clothes on a clothesline is 9 times out of 10 superior to using a dryer. All my dress shirts for work are Brooks Brothers made to require no ironing. We wash them in cold water (like e...
Definitely a human scale street, and a pleasure to walk down. I don't know why sidewalks on BOTH sides of the street aren't mandated for new developments. It might take a bit of the edge off of exur...
I see it is 12:10 a.m. in Toronto right now, and I suppose all the busses, streetcars, and trains are returning to their depots. Since TTC employees work for us, the citizens, the "public" in "public...

More underwear, less clothes ... !...
A bullet train from Quebec City to Windsor is a no brainer .... unfortunately our government has no brains, but that isn't helping. Also, naming rights for subway stations is an affront to public sp...
