We’ll all be whining in a few years when the reality of Turd 2’s reckless spending kicks in. Trust me. the juvenile namecalling aside, CPI is down 0.2pc in April and governments are borrowing at 1% or less over 30 year periods (e.g. Ireland's 30 year issue at 0.79% on the 14th). If you want to get ...

According to this NatPost (no friend to the present government) an estimate of $775m was made in 2012 but not proceeded with by the then (Conservative) government. That’s not quite the same as a cancellation as I read it. Whether the decision to extend the current fleet was ill advised will be a mat...

It may be my overly imaginative brain, but does a train not also go in the opposite direction? If so: How many customers will find the train easier access to BBTCA? Would only suit people in Weston (who's going to go to T1 YYZ just to catch a train to Pearson) but that would be an interesting appro...

In my view (as someone who flies from YTZ and supported PD during the Miller years) the best solution is to make YTZ a perimeter airport and stop this nonsense talk of LAX and Caribbean flights. Deluce has burned a lot of bridges during this fiasco but I don't think WS saying "we'd fly 737s out of Y...

A few things: 1. I don't think anyone believes the Port Authority with their "who me" posture, surely? 2. Big risk by Porter on the PR front. They are asking for exactly the thing they said they would never ask for and would never need in their business model. 3. With Olivia Chow tiptoeing around th...

More jobs for Toronto

TBH I liked the view from the ferry. The view of the downtown is one of the best reasons to Fly Island. Some nights you're just in a hurry though and being able to speedwalk through a tunnel would work too. For a tiny fraction of the 8 billion the province is giving Rob Ford's council or a small fra...

Not enough of a Party man like the four guys who are pictured?

No strike threat can be considered if Parliament is in session. The 308 most self-interested folks in Canada.

Porter has had a monopoly at YTZ for 4 years - losing $40 million over that period, no less - and if it were at any other Airport the competition would've responded a hell of a lot quicker. In most other cities - especially one with an aircraft assembly line within the city boundary - YTZ would hav...

At least CYTZ is probably safe for four years - although if Ford fucks up we're looking at Vaughan 2014 and that's going to be worse than Miller Time for the Island.

so this means when the PQ manage to get 50.1%, they will be able to pay their share of the national debt on the way out the door? w00t!

no doubt the separatists were complaining about the Reds...

Hey Clive:

it's almost sad that Porter are doing so well - when I flew with them YTZ-YOW there was 8 seats full out of 70 - the takeoff was brisk to put it mildly. Doubt the load would be as light these days what with the Premier and other nobs flying Porter. The jetway at the Ottawa end was a pleasant surpris...

Interesting that even the Red Star could be persuaded to run a Porter friendly article :D http://www.thestar.com/article/461422 Of course it did involve fawning at various pseudo-celebrities... Apparently BOS or MDW are in the cards from a Porter expansion. http://www.thestar.com/article/461764 Woul...

Aviation Partners claim 5-6% saving on long 763ER sectors:

Let's just reduce the official landing distance of 24L by 1,000ft and call the rest a stopway. Easypeasy

(ironically, if Miller hadn't sabotaged the bridge, Deluce wouldn't have gotten a $30m settlement to bankroll his launch...)
