How many appeals will they make before they just release the frickin' documents. They must really be embarrassed for taxpayers to find out how they spend their money.

I've heard in the 8 years pre-election he increased the budget upwards of 70%.

They're booting them this morning. Apparently no one is getting arrested. . . yet.

So you do advocate basically making all 400 highways like the 407 then? That'll never happen. During Rush Hour all 400 series highways in the GTA are packed. So it's a regional problem, not a Toronto problem. Not everyone on the highways are going into Toronto in the morning and leaving at nigh The only solution I would see that's reasonable is a modest toll of, say, $2 a day that would fund future Projects. Charging people more before a proper infrastructure is in place is stupid because the GO-Transit system is already at capacity.

Possibly but this is about reducing congestion on the 400 series highways and making people want to use public transit. If you live in Toronto chances are you already use the TTC to commute and if you don't your commute likely isn't that long. So would that include people that use the 401 as a trucking lane therefore increasing the price of goods? And if Toronto can do it why can't every community that has a 400 series highway running through it charge a congestion toll? Burlington, Milton, Mississauga, Oakville, Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa, Whitby, Hamilton, Kitchener. I believe Mississauga and Brampton have as many, if not more, highways running through them as Toronto does. You'd have to pass tolls up to 5 times for a one-hour drive.

Well if we're talking about a congestion toll to get into Toronto you'd be using a provincial highway to enter. So that money can only go to GO-Transit. Not the TTC. You could only do it for the DVP and the Gardiner anyway because tolling someone for driving through Toronto is outrageous.

The province contributes to upkeep of the roads too. The 400 series highways are policed by the province, I would only assume they are responsible for their upkeep too. How do you know said TTC user pays Toronto Property Taxes?

Why because of the upkeep of roads?

Looks like they might not have to do much to get the people out. http://www.torontosun.com/2011/11/22/occupy-toronto-siege-weakening NO YURTS!!!!

As long as you support cutting the public service then perhaps we can be friends. Looks like even Dalton has been forced onto the Austerity Bandwagon.

Because up until this year they were in a minority government situation and haven't had the chance. Member they tried to pass a balanced budget in late 2008 and the Opposition tried overthrow them.

We've been through this many times. And no agreement will likely be found. Drivers pay for taxes on umpteen things associated with driving their car. They also have to pay to park anywhere in Toronto. To make the claim that Drivers don't pay their fair share is hilarious when you consider fares for the TTC are subsidized.

Depends on the price. The 407 in the GTA is a fantastic highway but during rush hour it's extraordinarily expensive. Simple $2-$5 tolls to get into large centres like Toronto aren't a bad thing. But when you consider GO-Train is packed already, it'll just be a revenue generating toll, it won't reduce congestion that much, unless they add more lanes to the 401 .

I guess they're going to evict them when they don't expect it.

You could go the Rick route and claim a right-wing conspiracy and say the Judge should be hunted down. I'm curious what will happen tonight. Will there be some good ole rioting?

Well Shwa and charter.rights were adamant that Occupiers Charter Rights included being able to camp there. I guess the reason is that they are breaking bylaws not criminal laws. But since the ruling they've been pretty quiet.

Can you quote a reliable source on this?

LOL and you do. If the West was acting in accordance with their interests they should have allowed Gadafi to stay. Now we have a state, in Libya, that might be seized by the Muslim Brotherhood. Ghadfi was a dictator but at least, recently, he was one that would play ball with the west. I think the intervention in Libya was to keep him from killing the rebels using his technical advantage.

Again any evidence the judge is right wing? Also any evidence that the Police Chief (appointed by David Miller) who will probably have to deal with these zeros, is right wing.

Shock to no one, none of the protesters are dismantling their encampment. I guess they're looking for a fight. Will be interesting to see what happens midnight tonight.

No, I don't know his religion. Do you have any evidence to support the claim that he is a Christian Fundie though? And what does his religion have to do with his ruling? Especially considering An ANGLICAN CHURCH had offered part of their land to these protesters.

That type of opinion will get the public on your side real fast! Where in the 54-page ruling did the judge cite Jesus?

No the whole point of the opposition to Occupy was to the fact that they were camping out. I don't think I've heard anyone forward the opinion that "Occupiers" have no right to protest. But now that the court has ruled they should have no problem leaving the park overnight and dismantling their tents.

Sure no one was every saying they have to leave during the day. But they can't camp out anymore. Which was the whole point of this exercise in the first place.
