    Fun fact. Some times there’s multiple Eruvs in the same place because not every community agrees on how or where they should go. So if you ask someone “where’s the eruv boundary” the answer may depend on which viewpoint or community they take part in!

    Maybe our country and provinces would be a lot better state if those local representative actually lived in our local community Most local representative you vote for don’t even live in your community they just on a cottage or something which allows them to run in different area for their party It doesn’t matter that to party members are from Toronto. It only matters that one of them is allegedly supporting the farmers of Ontario. Even though they never ask them what they want they never campaign for the farmers, and they never do anything for those small, local communities that voted them in Because if you’re voting someone in on the provincial level for your local government, they should help your local area not just Toronto

    One thing that really bothers me about the Canadian political system. You don’t have to live in your local area to run for Premier. Of your area You can live in Toronto and run for Premier in Newmarket as long as you have a property in Newmarket but you primary residence is in Toronto The main reason why Toronto seems to be the centre of the world, where every politician only focus on tronto, because that’s where they live, even if they were elected by a different district And the only reason they got to run in that election is because they own a cottage or some thing in that area If a city rich person on the cottage in country Township they can run for that local townships political office, use their city connections to create convincing ads and lie to the people that saying that they’re there for the people but in reality they’re only there for Toronto. They’re not gonna help the farmers of Ontario they’re going to help the city folk. And that’s the biggest problem I’ve been seeing with our government is that people from the cities come to small areas to get it a seat for their party but they do not represent those small areas because they only focus on Toronto issues because that’s where they live

    There are 4 modes on a 1/Yellow/Yonge/University Line: 1. You are on the left half of the U heading up. This is called "Line 1 towards Vaughan" (Northbound) 2. You are on the left half of the U heading down. This is called "Line 1 towards Finch via Union" (Southbound) 3. You are on the right half heading up. This is called "Line 1 towards Finch" (Northbound) 4. You are on the right half heading down. This is called "Line 1 towards Vaughan via Union". (Southbound) Thing is, if you are in situation 2, and you stay there past union station, you find yourself in situation 3. Similarly, if you are in situation 4, and you stay on the train for long enough, you transition into situation 1. You become northbound after being southbound for long enough because of the U bend. There are 2 northbounds and 2 southbounds, and the 2 northbounds are going in opposite directions, and the 2 southbounds are going in opposite directions. IMO "Northbound", "Southbound" should not be used at all. There should only be 2 situations: 1. Vaughan to Union to Finch. 2. Finch to Union to Vaughan.

    ill be leaving my pharmacy job where i supervise assistants and manage inventory after 14 years in the industry. they had to pull me back from another city 2 years ago after i quit, because everyone at that store had quit already. i hope you all wait hours in line just to find your prescription isn't ready or the medication isn't in stock or isn't available. after 14 years in the business i went from $17/hr to $25/hr. can barely afford to support myself and family in one of the cheapest cities in the country, all while taking abuse from customers and receiving almost no support from our corporate overlords. good luck canada. good luck boomers.

    I lived in a co-op with someone and when I read the articles of incorporation and all that explained how the unit was not owned by the occupant, but that they merely owned shares of stock in the co-op, I felt uneasy. I’m in America, so these housing arrangements exist here as well, but to me, it stunk of communism and seemed very un American. I wish that flipping houses wasn’t so popular, because I think it only makes sense to buy a house to live in long-term, have a sense of continuity and community.

    Although I agree connecting cities by train is super important, connecting Senneterre by train has to be the stupidest idea our government had. We connect Senneterre but don't even have Mont-Tremblant or Gaspésie connected by trains (Two very popular tourist spots in Québec) this is just absurd.

    calling people racist for their changing attitudes on immigration policy is niave. there is plenty of nuance between reasonable rates of immigration and current insane rates of immigration. 400,000 people have already arrived in the first four months of 2024, predominantly from the punjab region of india. this is not diversity that you harp on about.

    There are multiple factors at play here: * How high are the buildings * How tight are the buildings spaced together (including street width), * How much other functions does the area provide (including commercial activity, parks, infrastructure, etc.)? * How much floorspace does one inhabitant take up (kids tend to push this down)? The densest km² in Turkey (in southern Bahcelievler, Istanbul) is actually below 10 floors consistently and it's denser than the densest km² in Manhattan(86k per km² vs 66k per km²) and also denser than the densest skyscraper area in Istanbul (because they are spaced further apart and likely have bigger appartments too). Macao's and Hong Kong's densest area (Santo António and Mong Kok) have around the same density but Santo António is mostly low to midrise blocks while Mong Kok is almost exclusiely skyscrapers. Macao does this by narrow roads, building even in the middle of blocks (almost no natural light) and small appartments, also I guess possibly less commercial activity. However if all other variables stay the same building higher will always be denser.

    what's sad too is that a lot of NIMBYS are older people because they have time to complain since they are retired. The REM is a project for the actual generation of workers but specially for the next generations to come. People will move in the East to be close from a station, juste like I did in Verdun. I don't want to be harsh but the voice of the oldest generation ont these projects should count less, some of them will passed away even before the project is finished....

    You have to really look for anyone giving a critical opinion about Doug Ford because you just type his name and you need to be very specific what you’re looking for because the propaganda machine has basically make sure that most results regarding his name are always positive Do you look up Doug Ford needs to be voted out or Doug Ford is bad for Ontario and you get mostly propaganda I had to search up Doug Ford is bad for Ontario to find this video and then underneath it is more positive propaganda It’s either not many people are making videos about it or the KZread algorithm suppresses it like they are supposed to after the laws came into affect that allows Canadian government agencies to control the algorithm and push Canadian Contant forward, but they always push Canadian propaganda. Not Canadian criticism.
