After only a few days back in my home base I have not
exactly had much chance to read the news. I had a pile of articles put aside
but I lost them when my computer crashed. Such is life. Here is a collect of
articles, some from before my vacation and some from after. I hope they all
prove interesting.
Why do infrastructure projects cost so much? City Lab
shares the example of a tunnel built in Los Angeles in 1925 and contrasts for
2014.
The Toronto Star published a poll stating that most
Bramptonians want Mayor Susan Fennell to resign. Harsh.
Related, a Toronto Star editor defends the reporting on
the spending “irregularities” of Mayor Susan Fennell. Fennell has been criticizing the Star and claiming the reporting to be
inaccurate.
From Eric Grenier of 308 Blog, the federal Conservatives are in a slump and evidence is mounting it might be a more permanent shift.
If I’m not mistaken David Soknacki has proposed doing
something similar in Toronto, but Singapore has introduced free transit at certain times to cut down on rush hour commuters.
Steve Paikin writes about the lack of transparency for the provincial debates. Even more remarkable given that he was
the moderator.
Justin Ling in the National Post finds it odd that Canada
is often so happy to regulate and monitor social problems, except prostitution.
