Uh, what? You absolutely can run trains on elevated tracks. Japan does it all the time. So do many other cities and countries. If you want to get real fancy, mag-lev runs almost exclusively on elevated tracks. Where did you get the impression that you can't elevate train tracks?

A) time to move if climate change has fucked your weather that bad.

B) you don't have to tunnel. You can elevate the track.

Just about all of it. America doesn't "let" Canada do anything. Go read a fucking history book.

Pretty sure they're just going to slap that title onto whichever federal minister is already in charge of that portfolio.

It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

For people seeking asylum, the choices are usually "kinda shitty conditions in a nice city" vs "abject poverty and life threatening conditions back home". It's not really a question which one is better. Toronto has issues, but the tap water won't give you cholera, nobody is going to stab you for your bag of rice, and that room you are sharing is not going to be bombed.

There's a lot of work to be done to make it a city that's livable for everyone, but please don't fall for bullshit narratives.

That's one of the things I actually love about the LCBO. They are willing to get any liquor on the planet for you. The only requirement might be that you have to buy a case, depending on what it is and where it's coming from.

It's literally just going to be whichever cabinet minister is already in charge of that portfolio. Say what you want about everything else he did as prime minister, but Trudeau has always been able to deal with Trump's bullshit. Who knew high school drama teach would be such incredibly relevant job experience.

We're polite because we have to be. We started inventing war crimes because we heard a rumour that the Germans may have crucified a guy. Our national sport regards fist fights as a reasonable response to minor infractions. If we weren't polite, we wouldn't be able to have a functioning society. It tends to get softies like Trump confused.

Not sure a noose really sends the right message. We're looking for more of a "French revolution" vibe. The noose is a bit too "Jim Crow".

Well now not all Crown is equal. The Northern Harvest rye is actually pretty good.

SLAPP lawsuits aren't particularly effective against governments. There's nothing much to fear when you can just change the laws if things don't go your way. And even Musk isn't going to out spend the province of Ontario.
