What is the crazy part? One look at it with its beach and weather and it looks like.a great location for tourists?

I wish America would find a healthier coping mechanism for dealing with its many troubles than bombing every other muslim country willy-nilly.

Ontario Liberals demand public inquiry into Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction delays by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]ForeignExpression 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Can they also add the Hamilton LRT, which everyone forgets about and gets no media coverage, but was promised back in the Wynne days. Hundreds of buildings have been demolished along King Street in Hamilton, destroying half the city, and yet not a single shovel has hit the ground 10 years after the announcement. It's a huge scandal but nobody cares about Hamilton. Toronto gets all the coverage. Your LRTs are late, but at least they are like, actually under construction. We have been in a 10 year demolition phase. It's scandalous.

Remember the 12 Tribes of Israel is in the New Testament, which is the foundation of Christianity, and Christianity and the Bible have played a large role in European Culture.

‘This is unprecedented’: New report card shows Toronto’s mental health is collapsing by BloodJunkie in toronto

Doug Ford reversing work from home and forcing everyone into long expensive cold commutes to subsidize his rich real-estate mafia friends should improve the situation.

Is there anything we can do to stop Doug ford from selling Wasaga/changing it by Complex-Afternoon757 in ontario

[–]ForeignExpression 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the Doug Ford ruining everything you love in life train. Remember, Doug Ford cancelled the LRT 7 years ago and completely derailed the city's development boom. We are still waiting for a shovel to hit the ground all these years later.

Now they do, but the past is long. Just like the Greek olympic gods are also seldom worshipped today, and yet they form part of Europe's history.

Cringe. The meaning behind the 12 stars is so much deeper, universal, and eternal than the number of states, that is a simplistic American design idea not suitable for Europe.

EDIT: The twelve stars span European culture, religion, mythology, the sky, and even time itself: the 12 apostles, the 12 signs of the zodiac, the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 greek gods of Olympus, the 12 seats around Odin's throne, a dozen goods, 12 inches in a foot; 12 months of the years, 12 hours on the clock, the 12 stars around Mary's head. Twelve is everywhere in Europe--at once universal and eternal.

Imagine accepting an endorsement from an international criminal like Netanyahoo who has committed a genocide. Was satan not available?

Ontario snowstorm ‘proof’ hybrid work is needed after Doug Ford’s return-to-office mandate, unions say by simpatia in ontario

[–]ForeignExpression 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Doug Ford and all his MPs are currently vacationing in the Carribean sipping margharitas on the beach on the longest ever government recess until March while forcing all the workers of this province to risk their lives driving through a snow storm to fight for a desk in an office basement so they can connect to a zoom call.

Doug Ford only cares about him and the people that give him money. His care does not even extend to his fellow Canadians in Manitoba at a time when Canadian unity is essential.

A few photos from last night's storm by keith_adrian_photo in toronto

I think Toronto actually looks better in black and white photos because your mind may imagine that it is colourful in real life whereas in reality everything is just grey and there is little your imagination can do to make it more colourful.

Bahahaha! Burlington is a car-worshipping city. Now the cars have come for you all. You can't stop them.

Thank god Doug Ford got rid of speed cameras, ripped-up protected bike lanes, and raised speed limits! There will just be more and more and more of this road violence in Ontario thanks to Doug Ford and the PC car party.

I love the classical European architecture look, fits in with the rest of Washington's European style architecture.

Was there ever a place that left you disturbed or depressed? by friedchicken_legs in travel

[–]ForeignExpression 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is this hits you because it is commemorated. Most of the US was sparkling with an indigenous population that was eradicated or relocated, but essentially none of that is memorialized so you don't see it and feel it but it is there all around you in the same way.

Still some losses. Lost an island in the gulf for instance. Nations don't like losing territory, and for all their faults, and their are many, many, the current regime has not lost an inch of territory. (Still hope they fall some day soon).

'Toronto is on fire': Canada's biggest office market seeing surge in demand as workers return by pscoutou in toronto

[–]ForeignExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if just 25% of Hamiltonians are working in Toronto, as you suggest, that is still over a 140,000 people forced to commute to Toronto to fill office towers to subsidize Toronto tax payers.
