It seems self-evident that the longer a gas-tax holiday is extended the more politically difficult it will be ever to end it

Well. They are half right: a lot of Canadians are unfriendly to GOP voters who slavishly support Trump.

The Finch West LRT being slower than the bus it's replacing might be my personal Joker moment. The army of people who fought to preserve LRTs in the face of a mountain of dishonesty from multiple parties deserved an honest effort to make them actually operate well. Instead, we get Toronto.

Two ways to frame this: A: The Supreme Court created this problem by setting a cap on how long is reasonable for a criminal trial to take. B: Provinces created this with a mix of underfunding the court system and policing that can't produce convictable cases www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

In our meeting, Mr. Vaughan disputed every one of those claims. He did not, however, provide any evidence for his companies point of view. He chose instead to keep talking, and talking, and talking, in the apparent belief that I would concede some points to quiet him down. it almost worked.
