I took few Geography courses
we did study if we let city become small and wide spread or cities let all people stay togehter to save power plumbing energy and garbagge taking and etc..
the question arise by increast Tax in cityof Toronto all was escped to BRampton and Richmondhill espcially big corporation forget better bigger space and pay less tax and better structure of city can get developed
as you can see all down town city in Toronot and if you see Montrail and Qubec city are worste
no raod or tranportaion food parking all becme later issue now welcome to come to donw Toronot and see all big cooprationandeven so many are AMerincan seeling condo from 200,000 to 2 million condominum when I see that ugly road and hihg rise are sperated twoo big jiants of new building together with not shape not desing nice for city adn waste the land and noteven traffic look better it proof planer and city devlopment are not doing good job
those group should sent for punshikent to North pole of Canada and ask them to fix those ice to new land transfer if tehy can
I also I think garbage and Green garbage need to joine with Waste managment or similare company to drop look like big Iron contaier made it
smaller size for each houe in front of house to take garbage daily without touch the container to go faster pick
I mean immagine big iron green meal box one way we put garbage in ad one other side garbagemen open teh door and take garbage by use machine to do that this is efficent and reduce all job in and out of green plastic when garbage men leave all garbage plastic fell in stret and real nasty they need to change system
I may not explain it well the plastic green may not bad idea firs now I think that is not good at all road and driver of truck once of week in Toront we must see all smell of garbage thast is nasty and not enviroment correctly in order to do fast need metal small size in front and pick bymachine within a secnd to speed up the process
unless some one can fix my idea better still this garbage taking in Toront is not proper show Cityare notknow what they are doing

hi !
key word: EXPANDING
I take that to mean it is acceptable, or that it can be interpreted and argued as meaning acceptable, to improve EXISTING roads to get & keep them in acceptable safe condition. this is Canada eh; its called frost heave.
the more roads ya got, the more roads ya gotta spend limited funds to maintain. you want quality or quantity?
AFA the crack about road side memorials well duh, take a gander at the drinking and driving stats. that death and carnage UNRELATED to road condition unless the driver is too drunk to see and react to one of those ubiquitous potholes.
“warn’t my faults yeroner, da road wuz in crappy condishun eh?”
I will never use public transit because it’s full of bus people.
As I see it, the people in “have” Provinces are looking great. Highways fall under the Provincial jurisdiction and if the province has the money, no problem in fixing the roads.
All one has to do is google “federal highways” and click pages from Canada to see who is really going to suffer. There is a wonderful chart for those that love charts.

I heard Ellie May on CPAC this week and she was as shrill and desperate as Hillary Clinton was near the end. She was wound up tighter than a drum and got off base trying to silence a heckler. This Green Party is simply a party of the lunatic fringe. Their ideas are vague ideals, which lack in practical application, and should not be implemented. They are not thought through.
For example I work shifts which start long before public transit even begins to run in the morning. I leave the house at 5:25am and need to change into my workclothes and be in the workplace at 5:55 to relieve the other shift. In order to get where I’m going I’d need to board the first bus at 4:30, etc. Sorry, I’m not interested in using public transit. I work so I can have a car; my bus riding days are over.

By the way, were you in that winter training camp video I just saw at the link below?

“As I see it, the people in “have” Provinces are looking great. Highways fall under the Provincial jurisdiction and if the province has the money, no problem in fixing the roads.”
Well, I guess that makes Morontario a “have not” province. Mike Harris, Ontario’s worst ever premier (and a progressive conservative, walked away from most of the highways in Ontario and handed them to the municipalities to “maintain”, chop up, etc., then signed a contract for the worst toll road superhighway in N. America, in an agreement that nobody can get out from under, or afford to drive if you make less than 60gs per year. Most of the smaller highways have now been carved up with stop lights.
There is no transportation policy in Morontario, only pipedreams by socialists. The province let the boil on the ass of Ontario that Toronto has become, go 50 years without ever having to build single major east-west intra-urban corridor, preferring instead to allow the people of the province to underwrite Toronto’s urban transportation needs with the “401 bypass” as it was originally known. As a consequence, transportation across southern Ontario is at a standstill, and no amount of public transportation can fix it, even if we could afford it. When Oakville is done, the strangulation of Southern Ontario will be complete and the economic strength that remains here will begin to collapse in on itself. Mississauga and Toronto are pricing themselves out of their labour pool which is one of the reasons for the explosive growth of the ‘burbs and the need for more and better roads.
Harris should have maintained and strengthened the small inter-urban highways, started to limit their access to prevent them from become local shortcuts as the 401 has become, and required municipalities to dovetail internal transportation corridors with the small highways as part of their land development schemes. Presently, building permits are handled out with virtually no regard for infrastructure needs, and the tax base is expected to pick up the shortfall for the lack of foresight. Consequently, we get to pay for fewer direct services and underwrite expansion without limit, or I would argue, benefit.
Mississauga anticipated some of this and has a few fairly strong east-west corridors. Oakville has none. However even in Mississauga, they’ve continued to seriously underestimate east-west traffic flow, incorrectly assuming that the bulk of their transportation requirements would be north-south. All a planner and a politician had to do was stand back and look at a map – you can’t continue to stuff development into a sewer pipe without it eventually clogging. At some point you have to put in a bigger or more pipe or you wind up with what we’ve now got – a stinkin’ holy mess.
in any event the greens will peak this time around because ms lets-go-a-maying is going to blow it big time. she is shrill, she is delusional and getting a couple seats in the 2008 parliament will prove to be her/its/their undoing because she/it/they will be on the parliamentary channel amongst other things.
bad publicity better than none?
not in her case !!!
I voted green once. then she cut the infamous deal-with-the-devildion to avoid each other’s high ground when one of them had a shot at a riding.
mmmmmm . . . never again. and soon, quite soon in the time line of a nation, there ain’t gonna be greens on the ballot !!!
hint to mos: pass it thru a word processor’s spell check and correction THEN c&p into the posting. are you stephan incognito?
I see the 10,000,000 mark coming up.

I was watching CTV few month ago
the reporter asked Mr. Miller

he siad Yes I am
I just really discuss me for seeing him
act like Canadian Bill Clinton in Toronto
Mayor Miller
all the time while he crash of poor Indina miss Paki-Indian take off cloth for ther new dance act class for English men clapping and pay money
Mr. Mille all the time we hear from him when we hear few gun shut in Toronot to come to TV
saY:

realy the word ADULT is misuse in dictionary of Candian culture now like the word marrige by gayiess and teh word stupid by Mr. May used or few stupid candain
why not Mr. Miller watching all Indian crash lady
do not use the word PORN movie in each corner why tehy are allow to use “ADULT” get misuse
the city getting shamefull all full adultry and Mr. Rogers footable filed and no one else
My suggestion to take all thoe garbab adult movie out and take all women out of down Toronto like Mr. Palin-CLinton come up byr Jeiwh fund rasing and that picutre of Indain model
instead put nice phot and not let woman get abuse as we see politian model woman and beach party women every where in Toront is picture of womwan ” take it offcloth” for photo modeling
keep some morality and respect for women all not garbage
