Canada, Ontario. The Golden Horseshoe and arounds.

[Ko.Fe.]

It may be true that Golden Horseshoe soil isn't the best farmland, but there is no shortage of reasons to be against subdivisions. The biggest one is probably that the kind of suburban development we do in the US and Canada a fiscally unsustainable debt trap. There's a Canadian fella from London, ON who moved to Amsterdam and makes educational videos on urban planning. In one of his videos he cites Guelph as a rare example of a local government in North America who looked at their own books and made changes to their planning policies and have seen real success as a result.

He and you have to look at the map of Belgium.

And Guelph is not exploded with new subdivisions (but they have a lot new ones already) only because here is no pipes from and into Ontario Lake. I have been in Guelph, looking at new subdivisions, it is absolutely nothing different, just a city marketing spin.

How GO train works in fourth largest city in NA?

On Sunday they had EX (old fashion exhibition), Jays (baseball) event and cosplay convention. Trains were so packed. It was impossible to board four stops before Union in Toronto.
But no additional trains or buses.



And today they have canceled last train (total is five trains per day to one direction) to our half-a-million boonies part of GTA. With offering to take a fifty people capacity bus, for something like five hundreds passengers. The reason, some of three who operates each train called sick. You know, how many millions people, but GO doesn't bother to keep standby.

Dare I ask what the definition of "Canuckistan" is? (Or is it more of a viewpoint, which is what I suspect?)
