They are getting less and less as a percentage from the City of Toronto and more and more from the cities surrounding Toronto. That's because the David Millers of the world do all they can to kill bu...

A VERY large percentage of taxes that the province gets is from the City of Toronto and yet within the City of Toronto, we're facing cuts and lack of funding for important things such as the TTC. Eve...

They have vehicles that travel in the tunnels. The alternative would be to carry lengths of steel rail and welding equipment down the stairs of the nearest station and then down the tunnel on foot. ...

I guess the problem here is that you seem to think (correct me if I'm wrong) that "offended" pretty much means "freakin' furious letter-writing campaign/boycott." Not true for me. I can be offended i...

A zero BAC will not stop impaired driving any more than arbitrarily reducing the BAC to 0.05. The problem isn't the occasional drinker. It is the habitual drinker and repeat offender. Raise the BAC b...
