40% of flights at Billy Bishop go to Montreal and Ottawa alone. One wonders if there was another way we could get people to those cities from downtown TO.
Boos ring out at FIFA World Cup Fan Festival Vancouver during Jennifer Hudson's U.S. anthem performance.

Everyone in Canada howling about defunding the CBC is mad that Hockey Night in Canada is moving to a paid sports channel. I mean, that's what you wanted, right?
Just wondering when the last time was that the driver of a motor vehicle was tackled and possibly injured like this by multiple cops for blowing a stop sign.
Show me in your use of force training manual where it says the boys being sworn at justifies using force to take down a person on a bicycle for a traffic infraction?
Absolutely no reason we can’t be accomplishing this in Toronto as well. If I was in charge we’d start with trying:
Ossington, Dundas to Queen
Augusta, College to Dundas
Baldwin, Beverley to McCaul
Yonge, College to Queen
Danforth, Chester to Pape
Gerrard, Greenwood to Coxwell
Nothing says “low aspirations” more than this tiny, temporary pedestrian project.
Pedestrianized streets and public realm investments have become defining features elsewhere.
Rapidly over the past five years:
Paris has removed more than 70,000 on-street parking spaces and created lush pedestrian streets with community gardens, everywhere.
Barcelona is aggressively scaling its superblocks with pedestrian spaces and no-drive zones. Where cars once idled, children now play.
London has accelerated low-traffic neighbourhoods and is even pedestrianizing Oxford St.
Montreal is now defined by pedestrian streets, that have become a tourism magnet.
Every one of these cities has thrived as it has tamed cars and focused on a pedestrian realm for urban life.
Toronto remains provincial. We must do better.
