The people former suburban lower municipalities (the whole story of how single-tier City of Toronto came to be is another can of worm) clamour for subways, but resists any attempt at densification required to make subway viable. Meanwhile, the lack of network effect means any extension of pre-existing subway lines will cause an already crowded Bloor-Yonge station even more crowded.

It's not just the lack of density though, it's also the extremely low construction efficiency displayed by the public sector. Witness the 10+ years it took to build the six-station Spadina extension. High-rise condos pop up like mushrooms after rain, but a small subway line extension took over a decade to build. No other explanation than blatant corruption, IMO.

Another anti-China EU politician plans to visit China. Between Ursula von der Leyen and Annalena Baerbock, I don't know which one is more insane. If I had a say, I would send them packing before the plane touches down.

What about sending a fleet of yellow taxis to meet them on the tarmac instead? There elitist pride will be heavily insulted.
