What an ignorant thing to say. The majority of drug users I know are baby boomers with the wealth and lack of fear towards life that only age can bring.

To be fair, it appears that spring was bumped until summer as well.

Had we not known this for some time now? I could have sworn I'd seen it here before. I'm noticing that the date of the article is from October 2012 - I would suspect someone here would have picked it...

Willis Way is designed to discourage through traffic with the stops and pedestrian crossings - adding a bus' stopping and acceleration times in that would infuriate drivers and intimidate...

Between this one and the one in Guelph opening up it will make lighten the load considerably on the Sportsworld location.
I'm not sure if it bodes well for the surrounding Sportsworld companies,...

As pointed out by Duke-of-Waterloo in the early pages of this thread, Best Buy was confirmed to be an early tenant in what I believe is now the Marshall's. Not sure as to why they aren't there now,...

Then if you're going to continue this manner of posting I'd suggest learning how the Reply With Quote button works so we can have some context to go along with your ideas.

I also wonder how the...

I didn't even get that far - I was remembering back in the early 2000's when it was Loose Change Louie's and then Fubar...

Clever, but if the past is any indication then this will have new owners/new branding inside 18 months.
Also do people do the whole bottle service thing around here? I'm so glad I graduated just...

Of course not. What are they working for if not to fill their tanks and pay their monthly lease?

Hate to go all Wikipedia on you, but do you have a source for that?

Can someone explain to me why the Councillors needed to get harsh with one another over declaring conflict of interest? I find it a bit crass that because the Councillor representing uptown dared to...

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere else around here that the Editor of the Record (Lynn Haddrall) is married to Jeff Outhit - so appealing to her may not work as well as you'd like. Best of luck,...

Definitely seemed like a "meh, there's been absolutely no shot at a snow day this year and this is the closest we'll get - let's take it either way" approach.

I'm sure many didn't mind making the...

I definitely agree with this. I think they were foolish in chasing other companies the way they did - first entering the consumer cell phone market (Flip phones? Really?) and then jumping on the...

Did it take the delay to turn you off on it?

I was never on. The thing it hideous and a blight on the campus. The other buildings look either outdated or miniscule as a result, and whenever I...

You know - I find this interesting as I do expect Cambridge's population to grow, but not for any sustainable reason - I've always viewed the region as having defining age bands 20 years apart (or at...

*groans*

But it's so difficult to spell out the obvious. Backwards-ass Cambridge will never have the population, traffic, density or desire necessary to justify the track being extended. Yes those...

She's wonderful.

Seriously - let's just give them Cambridge Transit back and have the grown-ups go on their merry way.

It's not even that I disagree with the idea of the point - I just think...

It's a shame Canada Computers is so poorly operated. They fill a major demand (especially around here), so there isn't much incentive to change, sadly.

If you're talking about the earth movement behind and beside, they're preparing to install the various services for the University; one of the stipulations regarding the donated land.

It's still closed as of 5 minutes ago. I'm sure it's knackered many a commuters trip home.

And no, I don't think it has anything to do with LRT - just repairing the paving around the rails that...

I can't speak to how much condo fees should or shouldn't be, but my logic alarm went off and I thought I should point out that perhaps they might be trying to use a particularly philosophy to keep...

That was before that space became Beertown Public House yes/no?

...put it at the Aud when they build our shiny new downtown arena?

Too obvious?

That's a good suggestion - but if you already see the need to bypass Roseville, why not future-proof the whole shebang and put in what most people would want - some sort of bypass of the (original)...

Well here's a shot of a Federal ballot.... it's definitely plain and non-descript, but it has parties listed.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3015/2913221521_04ab374d97.jpg

That can't be right, can it? I remember the federal election having the party listed. Obviously that doesn't make it a slam dunk on a provincial level, but I could see there being a lot of problems...

These lovely little buttons have shown walk/bus/transit times for a little while now, I believe:

I may be way off, but in my head as I'm picturing the areas, an obvious answer appears to me - and it has to do with that car culture we love so much, and perhaps a bit of favouritism?
...

Then I suppose it's a damn good thing I wasn't being sarcastic then, eh?

And here I held back a post suggesting we send a line out to Baden/New Hamburg because I thought people would laugh at the suggestion of crossing such a distance with LRT for so few people...

Except that it could be viewed as somewhat patronizing to Cambridge, both in title and in spirit as they are not included to the degree they believe they should be.

It could also work as Kitchener...

For whatever reason Mr. Market is hell bent on comparing RIM to Apple, and has a bloodlust to see Lazaridis/Balsillie out. They are undervalued and will be until the mob gets their...

Rob Ford and the carcass of Transit City say hello.

Not much point in the thread - it's not for consumers - it's politics. We've had fibre in the region for a while - it was owned/operated by KW Hydro. Then they (and some other local hydro companies...

Oh - that may be something entirely different, I think. They were doing that last year from William/Caroline up Park street to about John - If you're talking about the blue piping that runs alongside...

Are you referring to anywhere in particular?

If you're talking about the strips getting dug up around Uptown Waterloo, that's the city installing their own fibre network.

I thought they called that Cuba?

I want that high speed rail from Windsor to Montreal. I want it running alongside (down the middle?) the 401 so everyone driving or waiting in traffic can fully appreciate their "freedom" as the...

This is interesting... so if $8.7 million was received, and we we're charged 2 cents/L in tax...presuming they do their best to return the tax back to the area it was purchased from, that means the...

Then I suppose it's a good thing I jumped in that puddle of bbq sauce on my way home from work today...

Keep that smarm to yourself; I was merely trying to spread the good word along.

(Apparently this post on its own was too short....)

Yeah but then they're just going the extra mile to undermine their job even further, which they aren't about to do.

I can hear it already....
"Why are we paying for a government service that's...

The system works!

Huh, I read it as lucks without even thinking twice.

Deluxe without the De, no?

I believe Columbia Lake Village was built more recently; although it only holds about 700 students.

We get passes that hang on our rear view mirrors.

They're doing this backwards.

Put LRT in place, THEN charge the premium for parking. Or at least wait for the Barrel Yards to have residents to help drive demand.

Although I'm guessing the...
