@StarInBoxWx r/ef5 busted hard this day

@nickysop @OJRenick Because the airlines are not colluding, they're looking at fare data and price matching

@RM_Transit @NickAnand1 No other city is building a subway cut-and-cover underneath 2 subway lines in an area with a whole underground mall system, steam system, lake-cooling system, a streetcar line, and a bunch of building foundations with a high water table along its route.

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@NickAnand1 @RM_Transit Not unavoidable but otherwise extremely risky and costly. Eglinton was delayed like 3 years largely because underpinning the subway at Yonge took longer than anticipated. Throw in PATH, the high water table, and all the other BS downtown and it's just better to go under

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@RM_Transit This is like the one super obvious place to deep bore in Toronto

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@RM_Transit What else would you do? The alternative is dealing with an extremely expensive and risky underpinning process across 2 separate subway lines in an area with a high water table. Can't go over, and going directly under is both a huge risk and super costly

@_ChanFace If this is something you think we should be spending money on you should not be let anywhere near a budget

@nickcapra_gpc @RM_Transit See the thread: 3 billion (50%) of that is directly for renewable subsidies. Nuclear makes up half the grid, and is only subsidized through the OER, which makes up ~2B currently and goes to other sources as well.

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@dwrightman @ONcleanair @RM_Transit It's buried in the OER but given that OPG currently undergoing a major capital investment process right now (during high interest rates no less), I'd argue it's not necessarily a bad thing. Pay the maintenance bill now, have power fixed for 30+ years

@elie_foube16925 @DefenceGeek The P8s are American

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@DefenceGeek All these are good except for the German subs. No reason we shouldn't be investing in nuclear subs at this point

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@RM_Transit Also I'm pretty sure BC and Ontario have some level of parity, it's mainly Quebec and Manitoba that get the super cheap rates because of the James bay project and the Nelson River project

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@RM_Transit Those came at the expense of flooding massive swaths of land through an arguably super corrupt process. Unless we're willing to compensate native populations for said loss of land, you're still likely looking at fairly similar costs all things considered.

@AlexanderGlista This looks like some dude that worked at Earth Boring Co and is now trying to start their own tunneling company with no real experience or money lmfao

@Lib_Development @headwaysmatter 2 hrs is definitely commutable, especially if someone is hybrid and only has to go into the office 2-3 times a week

@vivian39_ Genuinely every single lighthouse in the world is underrated as a tourist spot

[Big Dumb Idiot Moron @SenroMonogatari]

@MarkSavic @FudgeSmith111 The fact that one can build boatloads of housing and commercial space on relatively small parcels without entering SFH neighborhoods. It comes with the price premium of large buildings but it's still better than artificially constricting supply

@Wilson__Valdez Stewart be like: Joe Biden is fucking useless but this guy...man, Yaoi plz
