In the early twentieth century, many Toronto-area roads turned to deep mud every springtime. This is Lakeshore Road, looking west to Etobicoke Creek, circa 1916.

Well said Diana!
National Gallery of Canada. I love this building. It's free to the public on Thursday evenings!
Ice storm on the cute little Ottawa model gives to scale coat of ice to better reflect the current reality.
“Are columns your barometer for design?” Glad to see historian of DC’s modern schools Amber Wiley quoted in here.
Laughing out loud. Too spot on.
“Bike Share Toronto had a 40-per-cent increase in individual riders in 2025 compared to 2024” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

-why are you such a cute cat
-what is such a cute cat doing in my house
-how are you so perfect
-are you a handsome boy or the handsomest boy
-why did you barf on the rug instead of the tile you little asshole
Grimsby GO Station is advancing! This infill station on the Niagara/Lakeshore West Line will provide GO rail service to a community that trains pass through daily. Lots of transit oriented development potential too. More here: www.niagararegion.ca/transportati...
👏 to these amazing transit activists! If the city follows through with changes to the whole transit network, they will have made transit better for all of Toronto!
Ottawa ice storm!
3 of 3 of the people who responded to me have suggested shows at the National Gallery, I'll definitely be making it there!
And yes, definitely going to be careful tomorrow!
Ludicrous!!!!
Metrolinx‘s reflexive secrecy will lead directly in this case to making life worse for transit riders
I need to do some reading, it sounds like some interesting history behind the line!
From the Edmonton Journal on November 27, 2014.
Smith herself crossed the floor to the PCs on December 17.
Phase 1 of TSP on Line 5 & 6 is done!
No more left turning cars in front of LRTs according to @mayoroliviachow.ca on Reddit.

Finest food in Ottawa!
This is Gooney's, recommended to me by two separate Venezuelans (one of whom is @joelleondanis.bsky.social).
Probably one of the best arepas I've had in North America.
Though I'm sad to miss the skating I do hope I'm around for explosives on ice!
Hello O-Train!!! 👋
I know it has caused a lot of grief, but my ride was smooth, fast, and packed.
Was surprised to see this single track, though it changed to double track pretty soon. Must be a bottleneck on frequency?
How am I just learning about this website now? This is insanely fun. You can just click around the world hearing different live radio streams.

Sad to miss the Rideau Canal in action, though I don't regret the reprieve in weather!
I walked through Hintonburg just now, but sadly, everything had closed for the Sunday evening. Good to know my instincts were correct that I should come back!
Whoa. This is a great recommendation. Thank you!!!
In Ottawa for a few days! Send me your suggestions for buildings, bread, and urbanism.
I've visited a couple times and have seen many of the obvious tourist sites, though I do plan a return to the Canadian Museum of History.
A win for Toronto and coffee and Dan. 👏
DID YOU KNOW? Toronto's "Mink Mile" is home to some of the most valuable real estate in Canada, which is how they can afford to install interactive water features directly inside the path of travel within shopping concourses.
We've seen similar dynamics here in Toronto for a couple decades where former multi-residential buildings get converted into single family housing. As-of-right.
It's only in the past few years with the EHON reforms that the arrow can now go both directions.
An underdiscussed benefit of putting a price on parking (that is well covered by our lord and saviour Donald Shoup, RIP) is that if you do happen to be driving, it becomes much easier to find a spot! Politicians bold enough to do this may get more buy-in by explaining how drivers benefit.
Don’t forget to leave milk and cookies out tonight for Chronos
