Those in favour cite Montreal as an example of a thriving system. Until New York’s program is fully implemented, Montreal’s will remain the biggest bike share program in North America with 5120 bikes, 411 stations, and over 35,000 customers. I hate to point out that Montreal’s system is still running a deficit despite it’s size, but if nothing else, it demonstrates how expansion could provide better transit service for Torontonians.

A great vintage ad find by jbcurio in the June 29, 1912 edition of The Globe.

“Vintage Ad #2,240: Real Estate is the Basis of Wealth” by jbcurio - Beware the Giant of City Congestion…especially in areas of Toronto which aren’t considered suburban a century later.
Any families holding onto these homes and considering selling them in the 21st century would have made a tidy profit over the long haul.

This man allegedly stole a $26,000 bottle of scotch from a  Toronto liquor store.
So many questions. The first of which is what kind of paradise does a 50-year-old single malt Glenfiddich taste like?

Rob Ford is like Chris Farley in a suit that actually fits. He’s the first politician in history whose future opponents’ attack ads will be nothing but a gallery of GIFs.
