O dio

We should try it… 🤔

4.0 floor area ratio? Lol

I like the new haircut

Phew. You won’t forget what the grain elevators look like.

Resistance is futile.

The funny thing is, that example only shows a partial demolition of the CN viaduct, no incursions upon the Rodier or New City Gas.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That grade! 😆

Sure, but we live in a social democracy, not a libertarian utopia. Laws and regulations are implemented for the greater good, even if they're sometimes unpopular among the ignorant masses. Seatbelts save lives. Snow tires save lives. No-fault insurance saves everybody money in the long run, etc etc. As societies we also evolve, and rules and customs that at one time might have been considered beneficial or correct are often revised or deprecated. Should we return to the days of unlimited pesticide use? What about no noise regulations for cars, trucks, airplanes and airports? Indoor smoking? Or on planes? How about no security checks at the airport? The list of (perhaps formerly) unpopular laws, regulations, and procedures is long, and sometimes has costs that are unavoidable, especially at first. We evolve, we adapt. "Forcing" some things is often considered intrusive and an overreach, but as I've said before, we are generally supposed elect to power people whom we presume to be smarter and more capable than us in order to decide what's best for us. The one major drawback to populism, especially in its current manifestation, is that instead of electing the best and brightest, we are electing those who purport to be "just like us," and we just ain't that bright. Most politics is about ascension to positions of power, and the addiction to retaining that power, so those same populists are actually smart enough to know that if they pander to the unintelligent masses who got them to power, they can keep on keeping on.

There's a housing crisis and a climate crisis. Yes.

I honestly don't believe those four municipalities give a rat's ass that there's a PMAD. At least, that's what it seems like at the moment.

I'm still waiting for Dorval, Pte-Claire, Beaconsfield, and Baie-d'Urfé to approve densification projects along exo1 that comply with the CMM's PMAD.

Like Pittsburgh, which has almost 800 bridges, and 34 bridges of 300+ feet (91 m) in length, a city roughly one-quarter the size and population of Montreal. We are unique, but other cities have their challenges.

You're fine lol

What th

Mis Luftchüssiboot isch voller Aal.

Chopping down trees, perhaps, but they haven’t even chosen the private sector partner for the “plans et devises” yet. Other than a very vague cross-section, we don’t even know what this bridge will look like. The recent articles say that it has to have an architectural signature, and yet we’ve seen nothing proposed in that regard, either. My guess is it will take nine years to build what will essentially be a carbon copy of the existing bridge, but with shoulders. I’m certainly hoping that the final design has a true architectural signature, and that the main span over the boating channel is high enough for taller sailboats to navigate under, but I won’t hold my breath for either.

Almost certainly, but it’s possible it won’t happen right away because of the delay of the airport land side project.

...well, at least not while I'm driving. 😉

Basically like in Air Canada employee 😂😉
