The developers know the zoning before they buy. It is not like they buy up some land and then realize, oh crap, I can only build four floors, Toronto rules are so crazy.... The city is also working on this...

You may want to look into what is happening in Toronto. There are "builders" that "buy up" a handful of houses. Neighbourhood zoned where as-of-right is four floors. They apply for 30 plus floors, knowing they won't get it but it causes neighbourhood flight (people see the zoning application...

There is more to Canada than the GTA... I get it, GTAM but this is not the actual centre of the universe. While 30 year mortgage can give people enough rope to hang themselves it also allows someone to get into the market that couldn't otherwise. Many people do the extra payments, we paid our...

Snake & Mongoose Drag racing version of Rush or Ford vs Ferrari, I did enjoy it. Direct to video quality with TV people in the main parts. The beginning was odd as they kind of started with some background--but did not spend enough time on it IMO--and then jumped forward to the main story. If...

Well now that you have solved it let the powers that be know. In other news, addicts and users just moved to other municipalities.

Tort Law is why lawyers love accidents. *** OK, I think I figured it out. It is assault because the curmudgeon identifies as a cat. Pronouns are Purr/Purrself. /s

I must say I am convinced! She should get the maximum penalty of 10 years incarceration. The police should get the Ontario Police Medal for Bravery for risking their dryness in the line of duty. I for one am glad all the real crimes have been solved. More likely, crown drops the charges and a...

There was a recent study done that shows six out of seven dwarfs are not happy.

That is my exact solution here....

@bitzz you didn't happen to be squirted with a water gun on Sept 1? :)

In Mississauga the new speed bumps tend to have gaps in them. For a regular passenger vehicle you have no choice but to have at least one side go over the bumps as they are wider than your track. BUT larger vehicles like school busses, fire trucks, ambulances have a wide enough track that their...

The war on drugs is and was a massive failure, the flow continued, maybe you should call them up and offer to help. Maybe the western world never thought of this?

I read the initial reports, lacking details, other than a dastardly armed assault by a special needs educator on a feeble man.

The way they do tile has changed a lot. In my house they actually poured "concrete" over and between the joists (with slats below between the joists) adding steel mesh, a once common method. There was an era where concrete board on the floor was state of the art. Today it is all about the...

If I had to guess...and it is just a guess. Street party with multiple neighbours, unliked crusty old dude that was not invited gets sprayed with a water gun... Likely lots of history between neighbours. Just a guess??? October 30 he can expect lots of TP and eggs? Assault with a weapon, top...

I may be wrong but my understanding for airlines is seniority does not follow a pilot when they change airlines. So if you are 15 years in at AC and decide to move to delta, you go to the bottom and start over. If so, what is the exact threat? "I will quit my 150K a year job and go work in the...

@jc100 did you get your clipless pedals sorted?

I know someone that actually hit a bear on a motorcycle. The outcome for the bear, bike and rider were all very bad. He was airlifted out and got pinned up in multiple surgeries, it took years to get reasonably back to functional. He was lucky there were other riders with him to get help.

The numbers will likely drop but NOT because they got them clean, they will move to a different province that is less of a bummer. For someone to get clean they need a reason. People have done it, even from the worst depths, but usually because they have kids, some other significant personal...

Back in early 2023 I did a search of houses in Toronto for under $1M, if I remember correct it was around 30. Just did one now and I get 463... Now you aren't finding them if fancy pants neighbourhoods and many are in stabby areas but there are also a lot of small detached gems in mid tier areas...
