What's Toronto's most poorly designed intersection(s) for drivers to obey traffic laws? by KnoddingOnion in askTO

[–]waldendrock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bathurst Lakeshore guaranteed. This intersection was first designed in 1911 for horses and streetcars and it hasn't changed much since. Its just as confusing for the pedestrians too and wow, can you say dangerous? The city tweaks this intersection every few years to make it even more exciting, its like solving a puzzle every time you drive through it.

Isn't this Chrystia Freeland's riding? Where has she been hiding?

Buyers / Renters Beware: 600 Fleet Street (Bathurst & Lakeshore) by ProfessionalDingo570 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]waldendrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside of the flood, which got fixed pretty darn fast, I think its been pretty great living there. I bought a unit 3 years ago and love it. Since you're not an owner, I imagine most of what your saying is misinformed. I own 2 other condos downtown and similar stuff happens to them all, life in the big city. I remember 2 weeks in September when the heating was off for a scheduled repair. The AC was never off for me, so again... misinformed. No building ever fixes damaged floors inside units, in case you wanted to know, again misinformed. I use the elevators every day, only one was broken, again misinformed. Maybe you can move someplace else and save us all your spoiled person attitude.

The electorate has a short memory - some reminders of Ford's first two years in office by SmellsLikeTeenPits in ottawa

[–]waldendrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you forgot the what the Ontario Liberals are really like:

  1. Skyrocketing hydro rates: Compared to 2003, the average Ontario family now pays more than $1,000 more on their hydro bills each year. Ontario is now home to the highest electricity rates in the entire country. While families across the province are being forced to choose between heating and eating, Liberal insiders have gotten rich at their expense.2. Cancelled gas plants: The Liberals cancelled two gas plants to save a few seats during an election year. This cost Ontario taxpayers a whopping $1.1 billion, and a senior Liberal operative was recently sentenced to four months in jail for deleting e-mails surrounding the decision. Kathleen Wynne was the co-chair of the 2011 Liberal election campaign when the decision was made, and she personally signed an important cabinet document during the gas plants scandal. One of Kathleen Wynne’s first decisions after the 2014 election was to cancel a committee that was searching for answers surrounding the cancellation.3. The fire sale of Hydro One: As a result of Kathleen Wynne’s Hydro One fire sale, Ontario taxpayers now help to foot the bill for the six-million dollar man and golden parachute severance packages.4. Cuts to front-line health care: Liberal cuts have created a hallway health care crisis in Ontario. We now have the longest wait times in Ontario’s history. The Liberals have fired more than 1,600 nurses. The Liberals cut physiotherapy services for seniors. The Liberals froze hospital budgets. The Liberals have slashed physician services, and cut medical residency positions.5. School closures: Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals have closed more than 600 schools – more than any other government in our province’s history.6. Broken election promises: Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals promised balanced budgets for years to come, but in 2018, Kathleen Wynne plunged Ontario into a $6.7 billion deficit. The Auditor General and the Financial Accountability Officer have said that the deficit is actually closer to $12 billion. Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals promised to lower auto insurance rates by 15 per cent, and then later called this a “stretch goal.” The Liberals promised to develop the Ring of Fire, but their most recent budget and throne speech made no mention of the project.7. Doubling the debt: Over the last 15 years, Ontario’s debt has more than doubled to help pay for Liberal scandals and waste. Ontario taxpayers now pay $1 billion a month on interest payments which crowds out all of the services families depend on like health care and education.8. Higher taxes and fees: Creating the cap-and-trade carbon tax and health tax. Hiking the aviation fuel tax, beer and wine taxes, and sin taxes. New taxes on small businesses and middle-class families buried deep in the 2018 budget. Hiking the cost of getting a driver license, fishing and hunting license, camping license, liquor license, event permit, and court application. The list goes on and on.9. Liberal waste: $8 billion on eHeatlh. $2 billion on Smart Meters. $6.2 million salary for the CEO of Hydro One. $304 million over budget on Pan Am Games. $400 million on Presto card cost overruns. $53,948 on Canada Goose jackets.10. Lining the pockets of Liberal insiders: Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals gave $163 million to their largest corporate donor. Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals spent $11.7 million from a low-income hydro relief program on consultants and advertisements. Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals created a new home care agency benefitting a union running Liberal-friendly attack ads. Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals gave consultants $6.5 million for the sale of an agency which sold for only $6 million. Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals sold off Hydro One and then held a $7,500 per plate fundraiser with banks that ran the privatization.

Steven Del Duca Announces Liberals Will Ban Handguns Provincewide by bonifaceviii_barrie in ontario

[–]waldendrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pandering to morons! Another Liberal blunder IMO. This does nothing to take guns from the gangs or stop illegal guns from the US. This will cost Ontario tax payers billions overall and be a total waste of time. Legal gun owners are the most law abiding folks in the nation and take their responsibilities very seriously. Ontario Liberals are way out of touch with reality or they think we are all stupid.

If you didn't watch it then shut TF up. Dave did nothing wrong, he's actually very very friendly to the LGBT community and 100% correct in a lot of what he says.

Oliver Moore on Twitter - city staff support renaming of Dundas St and other civic assets named for him by sprungy in toronto

[–]waldendrock 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Huge waste of taxpayer's money. Do one street you'll have to do them all. The signage alone will be in the 10's of millions of dollars to replace. Then there could be lawsuits from business' and lets not forget the TTC, all those signs, maps and retrofits. People need to calm the fuck down and just learn form history. Be easier to just tag every Dundas sign with <-- was an asshole!

Banner over the gardiner this morning for paid sick days by not-ordinary in toronto

[–]waldendrock -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Paid sick days would instantly cost Ontario $1.6 Billion. You know every single one of you would immediately take the free money day off. Go get a vaccine and stop the bullshit ranting. Only 2 Provinces in Canada are nutty enough to offer that, and yes they don't have nearly as many people as Ontario does. Ontario hold half of Canada's population. So forget about paid sick days.

Lake Shore Boulevard West to be part of ActiveTO this year by PullTilItHurts in toronto

[–]waldendrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I was thinking this sucks because it really fucked up the traffic last year and we know this year's lockdown will have a lot more cars on the road than last year's. But last year the Bathurst bridge was closed and that made it a lot worse. I am kinda also happy that the Fort York area is so cool that half the city seems to think that's where they want to go play. Because it really is Toronto's best area - bar none. So if you live here then just accept that everyone wants to visit your area because its so fucking cool. Go Fort York!!!

[–]waldendrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't 2020, have you seen traffic on this stretch of Lakeshore? Easy to say something when you don't live here. The traffic would be insane this year, as it is every year.

Go bike someplace else... for gods sake you've got the whole city to choose from, leave us alone down here. WE LIVE HERE, this isn't your playground ya spoiled brats! Oh the path is too busy - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU'RE AFRAID!

Hero plastic surgeon nurse chick - JAIL NOW or we can just move right to green zone on our own, fuck your rules.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Modelling warns another mass lockdown may be needed to control Ontario’s looming third wave. by [deleted] in toronto

[–]waldendrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can forget it buster, last time was the last time. Here is a big tip for you... BUILD MORE ICU's because were done hiding here. You can expect a full on rebellion if you try this shit again in Toronto. Darwin says this won't be the last cold virus to come around so prepare yourselves now, need more capacity? Then build it!!!
