Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!! You make it all sound so simple. According to Joe Panechetti, the city manager, average taxes on similar homes across the GTA are: Mississauga: $4,059 Ajax: $4,548 Richmond Hill: $5,468 King: $8,054 Toronto: $3,274 I own a 3 story brick semi-detached...

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!! Not wake up the snoozing puppies from a slightly older part of the thread, but one key point that seems to have been missed is that the Criminal Code absolutely recognizes different classes of severity of offenses. Without addressing the "moral" issues...

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!! Actually Torontonians are taxed LESS than most. That's comparing real dollars. If you look at city revenues from US cities they raise much less in property tax, but make that up in sales taxes and a 4x larger contribution from the federal gov't. And if...

Funny, I found this in like 10 seconds with Google Maps. Maybe I know Dave too well, or maybe I am blessed with supertagging powers. Anyways, one hint is that I live downtown and I haven't taken the tag yet because it is too far away to be worth it when it is below 10 degrees outside :-)

Thanks EC, I like to think of us as the all-season all-weather vets. Winter bike storage is for weekend warriors and scooter commuters ;-) Start your engines folks, the new season has begun!!!

My bike is not actually inside the parking lot in the shot. But as I understand the rules, you don't even need to be in the exact location of the original photo. Just get a shot of the building from any angle with your bike in view :-)

Hint: What I wrote above is a hint. And you shouldn't need a PhD to figure it out ;-)

There's a latin expression that translates to: "the way must be tried". If you look, eventually you will find it ;-)

Thx, got it working on my iPad so there is a higher res img there now. Will check out IMGUR for my iPhone as the Tapatalk app has suddenly gone flaky.

Working on it actually. My Tapatalk for iPhone won't load the thread, keeps crashing. My Tapatalk for iPad won't let me upload a pic without signing up for a Tapatalk ID. But when I try to sign up it says my email is already in use. And the web interface uploads only very small files. Arrggghh...

Thanks Z...NOT! This was a real red herring. The J&F Mall is not on that list, nor is it listed on the Tim Horton's site as a Cold Stone location. I didn't notice if they were serving it inside. VDub???

Old: Jane & Finch Mall Let the games begin!!

I added my $.02 as well. As a former industry lobbyist (video games, not transportation) I know it generally boils down to either a regulation change or a legislation change. If it is legislation, ug...it would take God and most of his biggest friends to lift that off the ground. If it is...

It was fun! But a Korean BBQ that isn't all-you-can-eat is like a buffet where they weigh your plate and charge you by the gram. Next time we will have to be more diligent! Actually there was sufficient food to make it worthwhile for the price, but I could have eaten another whole plate of the...

I just wanted to point out that the remarks (email) from Marilyn Bastedo of the Canadian Motorcycle Association to the City Clerk are very very weak and may be damaging to our position. I have no idea why the letter contradicts itself and makes is seem like they are okay with a fee-based parking...

Just back from the meeting. So in the end it seems that Minnan-Wong himself (committee chair) put the hold on the item before the vetting of the agenda. Upon presentation of the committee report for consideration, he also made a joke about how his report should be adopted without debate since...

I found the same study as fastar1. Very interesting stats. Here are the three key messages which I think create the argument for continued free parking: The re-introduction of paid bike parking could mean a reversal in the significant trend toward greater bike ownership in the City of Toronto...

I am not responsible for the actions of D ;-)
