Review, Revise, Results, Repeat.

Views are my own.

@Commander4162 @g_meslin It's true, you CAN have stable services with lower taxes. As the graphic shows, you'll need to support added density.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@Boenau With the current range and use-pattern of EVs (cars and bikes), this seems truly a niche 'need' in an urban setting.
As for longer commutes, drives - By all means, have companies owning gas stations build that out to attract that consumer.

@JDThunderGold @Alyxxina @ABDanielleSmith Your obsession with TO is interesting.
As for Carney, he is signing deals and partnerships with willing and stable countries to create the platform for investment in pipelines and ports.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@Alyxxina @JDThunderGold @ABDanielleSmith OK - fair. Canadian tax payers (in all provinces) paid for the pipeline. If I recall correctly, conservatives supported that plan, just like Smith supported the MOU.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@JDThunderGold @ABDanielleSmith Perhaps the cost increases were due to Kinder Morgan threatening to pull the plug?
What it looks like is that Ottawa bought a pipeline FOR oil companies, increasing shipping capacity, profits and tax revenue to AB and Ottawa.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@JDThunderGold @ABDanielleSmith Trudeau who paid for the pipeline? That guy?
And what about the MOU? Smith signed on to that. If it is just about buying time, as some say, then Smith is complicit as well.

@HeatherCardona @Notdonejr @JonFraserTF @Penalosa_G Yeah, dude has not read up on this. We have the receipts!!
Sales along Bloor have been studied and - along with most avenues that have bike lanes - retail spend is UP.

@ColinDMello Ford: Not Progressive. Not Conservative.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@ABDanielleSmith Glad you mentioned reliability. Investment needs demands it.
Alberta separation looming as even a possibility is a pipeline killer.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@abc123jjj @ABDanielleSmith What's your yardstick for 'fool?'
Maybe rank the premiers from 1st to worst. What you got?

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@ABDanielleSmith While it is great that 62% of Canadians support it, please tell us when you find the corporate interests willing to commit to building it.

@g_meslin There is still no case for the 95 year lease and the spa. The customer projections are a fantasy.

@TristanToronto @JoshMatlow Why should the city forgo taxes on the site?
It would amount to a subsidy.

@PolesWires Ford: Not Progressive. Not Conservative.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@g_meslin Was a remarkable place.

@BravoDavenport Do as they do on condo construction sites: drop containers creating a protected walkway under the overpass.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@everydaytourist @DowntownWestYYC @DowntownCoreCA @downtowncalgary @UCalgary @yycarch Looks like a missed opportunity.
Can imagine that with the right level of foot traffic, it would be a nice spot, but as you suggest, perhaps only seasonally.

[John @StoreFrontExp]

@JackKlompas @RM_Transit Someone approves the proposals.
Ford's people are the same crew that parted ways with Deutsche Bahn amid concerns of the "goalposts being moved" during the ongoing overhaul of GO operations.
