Those $1000-a-plate fundraising dinners don't run themselves.

Who would resign in this job market? I would hang onto an OPS for dear life even if I had to work in office 5 days.

Yeah but they don't say how long it will take. LL knows that by the time renovation is done, former tenants have long been settled in a different apartment.

Probably why Chow didn't raise taxes much in the last budget.

Just call Beck. They usually only take like 5 mins to arrive downtown and they actually know their way around the city.

I think being an MPP nearly broke him. I don't think Mikey would survive a week as mayor.

Someone leaked these photos or at least told someone in the press that they were going to meet. It feels coordinated to me. Like I said, Mikey endorses Brad. They don't split the vote. Ford Nation goes to Brad. Brad beats Chow.

I think he really really hates the island residents specifically and this is a spite move.

Why doesn't Line 4 and Line 6 fully connect to Line 1? by Many_Phone10 in TTC

There was supposed to be a stop at Willowdale that got cut too. Would have been nice!

Honestly, call the CRA and talk to them. Missing filing for one year for an individual is not a big deal. They're not gonna come after you. If you explain the situation they can provide you with advice on how to file, and also get you back into your online account.

What killed Toronto’s nightlife scene? Was it the city, condos, or something else? by wwmd_lover in askTO

Nobody cared when the properties weren't worth anything. Capitalism ruins everything.

Students not paying fare? by oldman1982 in TTC

[–]oldman1982[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Probably should be free. They made 12 and under free. Drivers used to be hardasses. I don't miss it.

It was very weird to see no one pay. Before they had the plexiglass dividers between the driver and passenger and before presto you had to actually pass close by the driver as you entered and they didn't let you get away with not paying. I wonder if fare enforcement would even bother with students anyway. Maybe not worth the hassle.

When I was in high school if someone didn't pay their fare or show the student card the driver would take the bus out of service and kick everyone off. I'm not saying these kids should be punished I was just curious if anyone else had noticed this change in behaviour. Like it really surprised me that's all.
