Are there any diagrams or pictures of the LRVs we're getting? The streetcars currently being tested in Toronto are a different model than the LRT we and Toronto are getting (the streetcars are...

Do you have more detail on this?

Wasn't he already Government House Leader?

Thanks for drawing up the maps guys, but unfortunately they are not accurate. Here is the link to the maps on the official website:...

Are they building a giant wall around the rear of the building?

This will be a true test of whether KW is a Conservative riding or a Witmer riding.

It's a shack... on the roadway. They built a shack... on the freakin roadway.

Well isn't this classy.

The only issue I see is driving LRVs through a pedestrian island. How exactly are pedestrians supposed to interact with a train cutting through there every 15 minutes?

KITCHENER — Bingemans and the City of Kitchener have quietly talked about a possible public-private partnership for a new convention centre on the company’s property near the north end of Lackner...

To elaborate on that thought, I think it's often *how* other systems come into being that plays a larger role than the systems itself.

Often times there is a revolution, coup d'etat, or other...

Thank you? Macros typically aren't supposed to be serious.

Yes, the topic is a serious one, but so far, most of the narrative in this thread has been far less down-to-earth than what one would...

Sometimes something is so ridiculous, it's hard to put into words.

We don't live in a truly capitalist system now. We live in a social democracy - a combination of capitalism and social welfare (e.g. universal healthcare, universal primary & secondary education,...

Cameron Dearlove, NDP Candidate for Kitchener Centre, is hosting an open house and barbeque Saturday (tomorrow).

From the invite:

Campaign Kick-Off: Open House, BBQ, and Canvassing Blitz!

Nothing like a major funding announcement 96 hours before the election campaign starts.

This is a duplicate thread: http://www.wonderfulwaterloo.com/showthread.php?t=9

An amazing turnout at the rally. Well over 200 people. Even a short downpour didn't hamper the spirits!

As for the counter rally, there was about 10-15 people there, and at least 3 or 4 of that...

Ugh, "Every 10 minutes" wasn't clear enough?

According to Jim Wideman on CTV News yesterday, he will be introducing an amendment to the staff recommendation. He didn't say exactly what it was, but that it is intended to help reduce local tax...

This is ridiculous.

I'm going to work on this after I get home: http://www.ontpress.com/complain/index.asp

Angus Reid Poll Shows Majority Support LRT and Would Vote For Pro-LRT Candidates in Next Election
May 27, 2011 | Machteld Faas Xander | http://machteldfaasxander.com/poll/

Poll details:...

Tomorrow at noon is your last chance to register to tell Regional Council directly that you support LRT. Whether it's simply "my name is isUsername, I live in Kitchener, and I want you to vote for...

Don't forget, if you want to help TriTAG get these posters printed, please make a donation.

I'm quite sure you are able to make a proper argument.

Because some people have the audacity to want to try to change their homeland for the better? Holy entitlement Batman! The notion that previous generations should be able to dictate which of their...

So basically, "it doesn't matter what Kitchener and Waterloo need. We have to get the same thing, and if it can't be afforded, Kitchener and Waterloo shouldn't get what they need."

For those who it may be the deciding factor, Peter Thurley's celebration has free food too :RpS_wink:

It's on the front page, centred below the main banner. The section is called "Voter Information Service"

I think it's pretty obvious from his post history that he is not an NDP'er. Looks like Conservative trolling.

Who determines whether a candidate has "no chance" of winning? Even some of the popular "strategic" voting sites have given recommendations that have helped elect a Conservative.
...

False dichotomy FTW.

Despite the fact that I refused to vote "strategically" in my riding, the strategic voting website Project Democracy says that Kit-Con has no strategic option and to vote your preference:...

LRT debate goes viral
Apr 19, 2011 | Bob Vrbanac | Waterloo Chronicle | Link

The best part? Waterloo Chronicle did not print any defence or statement from...

As someone who was there as well, the people clapping for the Marxist-Leninist were far less than those booing at Woodworth. I don't think I need to draw a Venn diagram to explain that Redman's...

Simply put: Karen Redman supporters made no attempt at hiding their disapproval of Woodworth's answers. Lots of heckling, boos, laughing.

Not gonna lie - as much as I despise Woodworth and think he is a bigoted, insensitive person, I would have preferred Karen Redman's supporters take the high road. Heckling and boos may make your...

Six words: God damn first-past-the-post.

You made that? Good work. I started seeing it pop up on my social media accounts this morning. Hopefully it goes nation-wide.

Shouldn't this be posted in Liberal Updates or K-W Riding?

Layton to fight for small business
March 29, 2011 | Josh Brown | Waterloo Region Record | Link

This is a joke right? Both the federal Liberals and Conservatives voted for the HST. I have a hard time believing any of the provincial arms of those parties are that opposed, or at least expect us...

It's pitful that in this country, so many people vote "against" instead "for". What kind of democracy is that?

I have to say, I'm pretty surprised that the margin between the Liberals and the NDP is down to 6 out of every 100 Canadians. With the numbers this close, I wonder what it would take to reach a...

Wow, that is pitiful. That's all I have to say.

I whole-heartedly disagree. It's been pretty well established that in the 21st century, new buildings and major renovations must be accessible. The excuse of, "oh, there is an accessible entrance,...

Here's my draft letter to send into The Record. It's a little abrasive, but I think Craig deserves a bit of a tongue lashing for his behaviour recently. I welcome your feedback.
