Canada is not going to do high speed rail. We are not equipped for the challenge. This isn't political - no party can do this unless they *truly* wanted to. The Liberals have an effete PR announcement and the Conservatives don't want it at all. It's *not* going to happen.

The lanes on University, which Doug likes to cite as "causing congestion for ambulances", were designed with the hospitals to be used by ambulances, specifically.

When I was a kid growing up in Brampton, Woodbine Centre & Fantasy Fair was a favourite family day trip. The mall and indoor amusement park is still open, but I doubt it will last much longer.

Woodbine Centre: the end of a Fantasy
Woodbine Centre, built in 1985, was an adventure for a child of the 1980s and 1990s. The once-thriving mall has hit hard times and will likely see redevelopment in the next decade.

The previous post is a map from the Department of Mines & Technical Surveys of Canada (1951) & covers the entirety of the country. Itâs *magnificent* & Iâd purchase it if I could get it off of its current owners.

Wild that China put in CBTC moving block signaling on a heavy freight line (ShuozhouâHuanghua railway) allowing +2km long trains using some of the world's most powerful electric locomotives to run every 7.5 mins. Video by hslxx61 sped up 2.75 times speed because the train is too damn long...

Doug says he wants to spend unknown amounts of money boring a car tunnel under Toronto. 50 years ago, Paris started constructing (& continues to expand) the RER: (mostly) bi-level trains going 120kph under the city, for cheaper and with *far higher* capacity. Just so we all remember where weâre atâŠ
