Somewhere there's a parallel universe where Doctor Who didn't make its debut until 1974, and was cancelled permanently in 1981, so Tom Baker was the only Doctor, yet somehow the show still maintains an incredibly strong cult following. Also, Wim Wenders went on to cast Baker in Wings of Desire.
Half of the genius of the post is the Columbo fancasting, but it doesn't work properly unless each Columbo actor corresponds with the appropriate Doctor Who actor. Peter Falk = Tom Baker, so he doesn't make a second appearance. Mark Ruffalo = David Tennant, so he does.
Says in the alt text: "Source: Vietnam and Other Fantasies, by H Bruce Franklin."
On my first read of this, I thought you meant "fashion worn by somebody named Franklin Delano Roosevelt the 4th."
An older white woman with a microphone stands beside a life sized cardboard cutout photo of President George W. Bush in the 2006 documentary film Jesus Camp. Behind her are several other women, one holding an American flag. In front of her are many young children, reaching out their hands toward the Bush cutout.
Do you think this was the Bush Derangement Syndrome that Krauthammer was talking about?
Or, if you want something written and recorded in this century, there's always Zeus. No time wasted here.

The problem with Rush is that even when they write bangers, the songs are just too darn long. If you want Canadian songs that maximize your bang per second, you gotta go with The Guess Who.

There are lots of great Neil Young songs, but my favourite performance of one of his songs is "Helpless" with The Band and Joni Mitchell in The Last Waltz.
(Yes, it's the one where Scorsese had to rotoscope the cocaine out of Neil's nostril.)

No.
The best song from Canada ever is "Raise A Little Hell" by Trooper.

True, it's either the least busy or second-least busy stop on Line 1. I suppose it's not so much the capacity of the station, as the trains that may be the problem.
Of course, running passenger trains to Summerhill would require telling CPKC and its shareholders that you're taking over their crosstown tracks, which is a whole other problem.
If you were going to run high speed rail to Summerhill, it would be madness not to add a connection to the subway. I don't know whether the Summerhill subway station could absorb the additional traffic though.
It's honestly one of the biggest intellectual challenges in heritage conservation. Where originally the motivation was to preserve only "the most important" buildings, artifacts or whatever, over time people have said "well, what about the everyday stuff that shapes our world?" And that's harder.
If you want lots of decent rental housing for people to live in, somebody ends up owning it. Saying "there are no good landlords" may be satisfying in a handwavingly Marxist way, but it doesn't answer the question of who owns those rental units and how can they be compelled to act ethically?
Another factor is that the REITs are not wrong that a lot of Canada's rental housing stock is poorly maintained and poorly managed. A big chunk of that is property owned by small-scale "mom and pop" landlords who are often as abusive (or more abusive) of their tenants than the giant corporations.
What it boils down to is that we need housing, which means we need somebody to build that housing. There is no feasible scenario in which governments or co-ops or whatever create enough new housing to not also need a huge quantity built by for-profit builders. So who is that going to be, and how?
So, a funny thing I have heard from a number of people involved in the building industry is that they prefer working for REITs on projects to more traditional developers, because the REITs always have cash on hand and pay their contractors promptly, which traditional developers...do not always do.

That's true, but an iconographic system such as you suggest would still be better and could be made more accessible.
The use of colours to distinguish between different ministries and agencies is also not AODA-compliant.
Anyone using the term "transformation" in any context related to the activities of the Government of Ontario is a charlatan.
"What happened in Gaza is not the Holocaust. What happened in Gaza is a particular genocide that happened in Gaza. Very different from the Holocaust, but conforming to the definition of genocide by the UN, which... is the only one that matters." - Omer Bartov www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
I like the Birmingham (Michigan) Eccentric.
It was so foggy out earlier, who could tell?
Jack Black as Billy Glenn Norris, holding an American flag on a pole as he is vaporized by a Martian ray gun in the 1996 movie Mars Attacks!
Or Jack Black from Mars Attacks!
You can't fool me. That's all-star NBA power forward Draymond Green.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Why is there silverware protruding from this road?
The use of “stuck” in the first sentence of this song
Means if you think the road’s just splitting you are wrong.
The fork is unpredictable,
the grammar isn't right,
unless I find a spoon or a knife.
After spending last weekend worried about a potential nuclear war, I'm personally quite relieved to have spent this weekend watching a successful Moon mission come to an end and an autocratic government lose an election.
I guess elsewhere didn't end after all.
