^The Keelesdale photo is impressive but it's a reminder that we don't yet have operable trackage beyond the MSF. With the first car nearing readiness for delivery, I wonder how the initial testing will proceed.

It was some months after the first Ion delivery before any on line testing was done in Waterloo, so perhaps I'm a bit premature. But I can't imagine ML's initial testing can be completed by running them in circles around the MSF. Some tests will need a stretch of line, I would imagine. Perhaps we will have track in place as far as the western Portal before too long.

I think Mount Dennis Station platform and tracks are complete, so they can test along that and the connection to the maintenance facility.

Left-of-centre governments? I'm not sure what the last left-of-centre government was in Quebec. The Quebec Liberal Party are generally centre-right, and the new CAQ government is the most right-wing government in Quebec for generations!

That's not how Ford hurts Conservative chances in Quebec. They don't care that he's picking on minorities. They care that he's attacking French-Canadians, and the spectre of him doing so, makes them fear that Conservatives will do similar federally. It reminds them of how anti-Quebec the Reform wing of the Conservatives were perceived to be.

But anyways, back to Crosstown talk. Is Eglinton station on Line 1 being renamed to " Eglinton-Yonge", or something else ? That would match Bloor-Yonge and Sheppard Yonge's station names.

Whenever you give directions, the North-South street always gets precedence. Yonge-Eglinton is the correct answer.
 
So the real question is whether Sheppard-Yonge and Bloor-Yonge will be renamed. I doubt it because those forms are the common used, colloquial forms.

From everything I've read no, it'll merely be Eglinton. Thankfully Allen station where it intersects has been renamed Cedarvale, but must say I prefer the Sheppard/Sheppard West style naming convention better.

TTC subway gets uploaded to the province is the subject to Metrolinx station naming convention. Then all subway stations get renamed to terrible names.

I still cant believe Metrolinx actually paid consultants for this sh*t. I would've come up with much better names in exchange for a cup of coffee.

I'm sure it's an infinitesimally small part of the provincial government, but when people get riled up abut government waste, the is why.
