The Keele subway yard was originally named Vincent Yard because of the former Vincent Street. Bay station has Yorkville as a subtitle. And Walmer was one of the two planned stations that got merged into the least convenient transfer station on the system:

Reopening the visionary centre created by Raymond Moriyama, reimagined and renewed for continued public enjoyment is a priority for Save OSC.

Stay tuned for a future announcement about community meetings in April.

Line 5 Eglinton Opening Day - February 8, 2026
YouTube video by notsmoothsteve Line 5 Eglinton Opening Day - February 8, 2026

I rode it on opening day to make my video below, and my experience that day was much better than Line 6 opening day.

I've used it several times since, with good results each time. So yes, anecdotally, I agree.

Just got checked for proof of payment on TTC Line 5 for the second time - the only two times I've been checked in at least a year, both in the underground section where fare evasion is less likely. Seems like they may be concentrating on the wrong place.

In the Yukon there's one grizzly for every 7 people.

What are you supposed to do if you don't get along with one of the other six people assigned to your grizzly?

This pretty picture is of the province’s smaller Science Centre near their private spa at Ontario Place. The price tag is $1.4 billion. The existing building only requires about $350 mil over 20 years (and about $30 mil for priority repairs). All this based on the AG report.

The Finch West signal priority is good, but just as important is fixing the hilariously bad crawling pace of the trains which is mostly self inflicted.
