What if a new location for a base could be found not so far away from downtown? Say, hypothetically, Downsview? Dan

@everyone I did not intend for this to become a discussion about the ills/innocence of the homeless. The problem is people being known...

Some further nationwide reform is needed on bail, perhaps beyond just releasing people on cash bail instead of a promise to pay...

I think if they do away with a 100% low floor requirement, then maybe, just maybe... It would be a world first.

I do think they need to speed up procurement, (hopefully) for EDMUs. If not EDMUs, they'll have some BS excuse that is ostensibly...

Electric motors generally outlast diesel engines because they have significantly fewer moving parts (often only one: the rotor) and...
