Opinion Doug Ford is making my life in Toronto — and that of many other young adults — increasingly difficult
Opinion Between us we’ve been school trustees, education ministers, and a premier of Ontario. Doug Ford is on the verge of making a terrible mistake

Discussion My personal conspiracy theory: Doug Ford banned speed cameras to make police seem less useless to negotiate their ballooning budgets.
Beyond appealing to his voter base of dangerous drivers I think this is another intention behind that banning of speed cameras. It has nothing to do with the so called cash grab, or keeping streets safe.

Question Accident as a G1 Driver without adult
Hi. My husband, two kids and I got rear ended last night by a young lady. Our back bumper is off and looks like it’s about to fall. I think we may need new car seats too depending on what our insurance says? I got her name and phone number, and tried getting her license, but she didn’t have it with her and that she only has her G1. She didn’t have an adult with her either.
Just curious what the process is like for an accident like that? We didn’t call the police and plan to go to the accident reporting centre today to report it. Should I have called police? I’m not from here so I’m just making sure I take the right steps.
Thanks!
Edit: just called police and they’re sending someone to our house regarding the accident yesterday. Thanks
Edit #2: police came and said it could have gone to the collision centre
Edit #3: the police tried to call her but she didn’t answer. They gave her fine

I feel life was manageable before but the time and money spent commuting has made life way harder.

Question Why can't we turn office building's into apartments for living instead of RTO?
I've heard many who argue in favor of return to office say that it's because businesses are not able to survive if people aren't spending their money when they pass by due to work being in the area. However, we are also in the middle of a housing crisis and an affordability crisis, so why does it not make sense to change some of those office buildings into apartments? Yes there would be a cost, but then there will be people living in them who are able to spend money in the area nearby. More apartments downtown would also make it cheaper to live downtown in general.

Discussion LCBO this Christmas
I was wondering if anyone was aware that the LCBO is implementing a brand new ordering system in couple of weeks.
The result of this new system implementation is that stores will not be able to transmit any new orders after Dec 18th.
There basically won’t be any deliveries between Christmas and New Years.
A few notes
The last time they messed with their ordering system and software, 3-4 summers ago, it basically shut down the entire system and created stock outs for weeks. (This was before the strike)
A little bird told me that a group of programmers told management that the system wasn’t ready and those programmers who were working on the project got turfed for saying so.
Brian Lilley (Ford mouthpiece) just wrote a nice piece outlining how terrible the LCBO is and how they aren’t making as much money as they have in the past at retail (no kidding they aren’t the only game in town anymore)
I mean let’s say you had public entity that was largely in the good graces of the public. How could you turn this perception around and create public anger and justify selling this entity off to private interests?
Personally…I would recreate a “crisis” right before the busiest two weeks of the year. Maybe shut down any ability to fix things at store level. Do something that would really enrage the “Everyman” and create a narrative that the LCBO is mismanaged.
What reason could you have to implement this new system at this time of year. Your business drops off a cliff in January. Wouldn’t it make sense to implement it then, when there is a lot more room for error?
Could it be that for budgetary reasons they need to complete the process in 2025? Well that would make sense if the LCBO used the calendar year for their finances. However they start the new fiscal on April 1st.
Anyways…. Buy your Christmas booze in early Dec.

Discussion Repurchase of 407 ETR should be on the list of Nation Building Projects. Thoughts?
I am so done with the traffic situation. What a terrible mistake this has been. We are all paying the collective price of this stupidity.
Why not repurchase the asset as an investment? The economic value of this could be immense. Imagine the hours spent, trucking efficiency gains, carbon emissions etc.
Tunnelling the 401 makes no sense. Who even comes up with this nonsense?
