New sinkhole on Eglinton Ave W

Toronto has only two seasons: winter and construction. Now with the HOV controversy (where, again, Toronto's bad boy Rob Ford made headlines telling us that he breaks the law), a huge sinkhole on Eglinton Ave West is definitely not helping.

Marvel at its size!

A sinkhole has partially closed Eglinton Avenue West between Keele Street and Richardson Avenue.
One lane is closed in each direction after the nearly 20-foot hole was spotted early Tuesday morning.
It appears to be a water main issue and Toronto Water is now investigating, Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins told CityNews.
This will not affect any work being done in the area and is an isolated incident, she added.
It’s the second big headache for drivers in this area this year.
In March, a portion of Eglinton also near Keele and Richardson was closed due to an unstable tunnel at the Eglinton LRT construction site.
In that case, water and soil had leaked into a passage way connecting two tunnels for the Metrolinx construction project.

De-amalgamation - the growing desideratum

It is no secret that Toronto’s amalgamation, perpetrated by the Conservatives, happened against the will of the voters. In Montreal it happened on the same oppositional background under the Liberals. Two decades later, it is clear that the cost savings that were supposed to happen did not, we still do not have a harmonized legislation and corruption has increased, while representation and local democracy weakened.
