Barnes received endless racist abuse from fans, but I’m not aware of any politicians saying outright that he would never be English

Great news; privatising the airports (along with everything else) has been hugely successful for Britain over the past 40 years.

I’m a British person who moved to Canada and, while I don’t want to suggest things are perfect when it comes to immigration debate, the tone here is much more civil and grounded in reality. Outside of fringe parties my impression is nobody seriously questions the need for immigrants.

at least one of the line 1 extensions (Highway 407) was built larger to accommodate underground platforms for a bus rapid transit station which has since been cancelled

Perhaps one of the best pieces of writing of the past 15 years. Unfortunately (because we can’t have nice things) the author has since reinvented himself as a far right crank.

Next up, a spectacular piece of Canadian Brutalism - the University’s John P Robarts Library. It’s from 1973 and was by WBTL with Mathers & Haldenby. In his book on Canadian architectural styles, Don Mikel likens it to a concrete peacock, given its overall shape. Triangles are a recurring motif.

Thank you @jamellebouie.net - it’s been driving Canadians bananas to see the light response from democrat & anti-Trump Americans to this particular vibe (and why the broken trust goes far deeper than just Trump now. Generational wounds to the relationship.)

Agreed, he has the rare opportunity to make himself a hero to 98% of the world and become a synonym for ethical behaviour. Not going to happen unfortunately

The conversion to a hotel and the rooftop extension + red elevator have transformed it. Was a lot less impressive back in its days as a municipal office

these were controversial in the UK (iirc) as they were significantly faster than police vehicles of the era and would often be stolen and used as a getaway car

Used to be a sleeper train between Lisbon and Madrid, but it stopped during Covid and never returned. A high speed rail link between the two capitals is due sometime in the 2030s. There's also a pleasant rail journey between Vigo and Porto which is worth a ride if you're in the area.

My experience living in both Toronto and London is that the cost of living in UK is higher in large part due to bills (utilities, council tax, licence fee etc) and rent. Groceries are a little cheaper in UK.
