Followed the website, and it looks like they are selling books. Maybe the Region should go after them for using their trademarked graphics and logos for a non-authorized commercial entity.
Wow someone actually went to that site? I've seen posters like this around for years and figured it was a consiracy theory nut and not someone selling books. If that's the case, it's not only the region that would have a case. Seen lots of others with copywrited materls over the past few years.

I wouldn't be surprised to see another one pop-up at King and John. Lots of fresh spray paint across the road and rapidway all of the sudden.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

Yeah, that one has been up for a few weeks now, (that's where I usually slip onto the Iron Horse Trail).
I haven't seen 506 yet at Lancaster (not saying it isn't there - just that I can't see it if it is).

That could have been a good comic if they dropped the snark and stuck to the initial comparison.

In more saddening but unsurprising news, for anyone who ever doubted that Heritage advocates have really just become NIMBYs and BANANAs: Kae Elgie is planning a Jane's Walk based on the premise that ION has removed the need for any densification or UpTown core to exist, and so we should cease all development therein. I really wish I was making this up.

Not a dedicated thread, but the previous discussion was here:

Edit Reason: Now with more optimism
)
Interesting tidbit posted over on Urban Toronto:
https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/hi...st-1326238
The gist is that CN is taking over GEXR's freight operations between Toronto and Elmira. With CN now responsible for the end-to-end delivery of our vehicles from Bombardier, does that mean we'll be getting them faster, slower, or at about the same pace?
Edit to add: Nevermind, effective November 15, 2018. We'll have all of our vehicles by then.

What this essentially means is that CN is re-assuming the freight operations that they had leased to GEXR when they initially sold off the Waterloo Spur yet retained the operating contract (if I recall correctly). I wonder what if negotiating with CN will be different than negotiating with GEXR for special movements etc.
