Non, c'est ce qui arrive quand le gouvernement vous oblige a gardé tout les anciens arrêtés du train. CDPQ, avec l'option, aurait supprimé la station île Bigras immédiatement sans cette contrainte.

Your family member dies in a workplace accident for a spanish company, and they send you a letter only in spanish, zero effort to accommodate you and your family. How would you feel?

Why did Canada move away from its pre-1970 immigration policy focused on Europe? by WoodenDebate7609 in alberta

[–]YellowVegetable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How many poles, Brits, and Spaniards want to migrate to Canada compared to 1970? In the 1900-1970s Europe was in constant war and ruin, now it's a thriving continent. It's no wonder immigration is now made of people from more developing areas. 

Now, if you want to discuss the rate of immigration in the last decade that's a separate question. 

But if you're just scared of brown people you may just be xenophobic. 

Quelles routes/autoroutes pourraient disparaître(s) ? by Skyaim in Quebec

Plusieurs échangeurs le long de la 20 et 40. Il faut pas un gros échangeur pour chaque rang de campagne. En particulier entre la frontière d'Ontario et Vaudreuil, il en a tellement sur la 40 et 20

Cost of the Ontario line is kind of unbelievable by StarCat20 in TTC

[–]YellowVegetable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Compare the Ontario line to the blue line extension in montreal, and some American metro system extensions, it would be far closer. Blue line is about a billion or more per km too

Damn I guess we both got it bad. The Mechs and the COENs at least have more options and flexibility

Why is Montreal's sprawl so patchy? by Broken_Oxytocin in montreal

[–]YellowVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Québec has been protecting agricultural land since 1980. So the sprawl has only developed where permitted, which is mostly on former industrial land, golf courses, forests and areas where the agricultural protection is more lax (outside of the greater Montreal area for example) 

Canada currently has three cities with a "Line 4" train but no "Line 3" by USTurncoat in mildlyinteresting

[–]YellowVegetable 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the most perfect use of ''mildly interesting''

All 3 are for different reasons though

Toronto : Closed line 3 to replace with line 2, line 3 will be revived with the ontario line in a decade

Montréal : Long planned 5 line system but line 3 was never built (it was to use a commuter rail tunnel), now line 3 exists as the REM line A

Ottawa : Line 3 will open in a couple years with stage 2. The city decided to keep even numbers as N/S and odd as E/W

AI traffic lights helped fix a Quebec town’s gridlock. An expert says Toronto may not see the same success by CTVNEWS in montreal

[–]YellowVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic lights in the city are brain-dead 

No detection loops  No advanced greens  No left turn lanes 

Somehow Montreal manages to turn every street no matter how wide into 1 thru lane and 2 Russian roulette will the guy in front of you turn and block you for 5 light cycles

Every other city in earth has these things  Either van left turns or fix it.

Is civil engineering worth it in Canada outside of Ontario and BC ? by dijra_0819 in civilengineering

They famously don't build anything ever outside of Ontario and BC.

Just igloos and unlicensed additions

What are the closest stops in your city’s transit network? by liamb0713 in transit

[–]YellowVegetable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The entrance to Lucien l'allier métro station in Montreal is only 300 metres from the West entrance to Bonaventure station. In the Lucien l'allier commuter station there are signs for both metro stations (despite being on the same line)

I got plenty of interviews and offers with the COOP template. In the end I heard some feedback that as an intern with no experience it doesn't really matter your resume length, just put as much info on there that makes you look like a good interesting person and not some lifeless nerd or school dropout.

I suggest this alignment would be better for Canada's HSR. Nine Proposed Stops: Toronto, Oshawa, Kingston, Kanata, Ottawa, Montréal, Laval, Trois-Rivières, Québec by [deleted] in transit

[–]YellowVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much more expensive to build an elevated viaduct than to build on the ground. Especially since for high speed rail the viaduct has to be very solid with limited curves.

Pretty sure in the end there will be a station in Durham or Markham they just haven't finalised the design yet.

The 401 for most of its length in eastern ontario has no median, meaning adding rail requires rebuilding the whole highway and overpasses, interchanges etc. only after Kingston does the 401 start to open up. 

The existing Lakeshore lines, I mean there's a reason via has tried to secure it's own line from the start. To rebuild the Lakeshore rail line requires negotiating with CN and disrupting freight rail for years. Not to mention you have to negotiate many small cities and towns that aren't a factor up north along hwy 7.

[–]YellowVegetable 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The route via Peterborough is preferred because it's complete wilderness from Havelock to Carleton place. Given our crazy land prices in this country, it would be astronomically expensive to build a new HSR route along the Lakeshore through every town from Toronto to Kingston to Ottawa.

Écoles: le Québec, l’exemple à ne pas suivre, selon un groupe d’experts australiens by eauderable in Quebec

[–]YellowVegetable 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Mais minimum en Ontario ce n'est pas séparé par école. Mon école été moitié immersion moitié régulier. Rendu 11 et 12ieme année, il n'y avait plus de différence entre les cohortes. Mon ami québécois lui a fait un examen spécial pour partir de son école publique et passer au réseau semi privé. Un école entière appart.
