7 h. ago New signs suggest delayed Toronto LRT line may finally be opening soon

The day of the Ontario general election is as good of a time as any to assess the failures that have taken place under various provincial leaders, one of the most glaring of which is the bungling of some of the province's largest transit projects.Now five years past due and in an unbelievable 14th year of construction is, of course, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, a line that promises to shuttle thousands of passengers per hour across 19 kilometres of the city, but which has become a blight known far and wide for never actually reaching completion.And, while the Finch West LRT — a line that started construction an entire eight years later — at first appeared to be progressing much better, it has also run into its share of delays. Though the province announced Line 6's completion back in September, an actual opening date has yet to be announced, as is still also the case with the even more beleaguered Line 5.But, there ha...

Wayne Gretzky doesn't appear too happy about the criticism he's received in the wake of last week's 4 Nations Face-Off.Named the honorary captain for last week's final of the international hockey tournament against the United States, Gretzky appeared for a ceremonial pregame puck drop alongside American captain Auston Matthews, Canadian captain Connor McDavid, and American Olympic gold medallist and honorary captain Mike Eruzione.But while Eruzione came out in a USA jersey, Gretzky opted for a suit, entered the ice through the American bench, and appeared to give a thumbs up to American players while not offering the same grace to the Canadians.Given the fact that the dual-citizen Gretzky has closely supported Donald Trump — including appearing at his official election party in November and showing up in Washington for his inauguration in January — many Canadians weren’t exactly a fan of the choice."How fickle can people be when someone who has given so much t...
