the SkyTrain is one of the best decisions we ever made as a region+province, and it almost didn't happen; there was a ton of "expert" pressure to build ground-level non-automated light rail instead

They’ve only just started retiring the original Mark I cars this year with the rollout of Mark V (made in Kingston). The first gen feels very small, has no AC, noisy, and they sway a lot. You curse when you get one on morning commute. But they’re a 40 year icon of the city.

Wine shelves depleted but most full category in all of three stores, but I don't know it well enough to judge if the selection was bad. The two smaller stores I went to had almost no macro beer left either.

No, but I went between three private liquor stores to find a normal priced vodka and it still had to be a flavoured vodka. Yes there’s lots of beer out there but I can’t do beer all the time anymore.
