The people former suburban lower municipalities (the whole story of how single-tier City of Toronto came to be is another can of worm) clamour for subways, but resists any attempt at densification required to make subway viable. Meanwhile, the lack of network effect means any extension of pre-existing subway lines will cause an already crowded Bloor-Yonge station even more crowded.

It's not just the lack of density though, it's also the extremely low construction efficiency displayed by the public sector. Witness the 10+ years it took to build the six-station Spadina extension. High-rise condos pop up like mushrooms after rain, but a small subway line extension took over a decade to build. No other explanation than blatant corruption, IMO.

Indonesia has been removed as the host country for FIFA WORLD CUP UNDER 20 due to it's policy of not allowing to host Israel into their country. Unfortunate situations and circumstances for both countries and players that were hopeful of competing in the tournament.

Another anti-China EU politician plans to visit China. Between Ursula von der Leyen and Annalena Baerbock, I don't know which one is more insane. If I had a say, I would send them packing before the plane touches down.

What about sending a fleet of yellow taxis to meet them on the tarmac instead? There elitist pride will be heavily insulted.

Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing.

Anwar is a much more serious PM than the last 3 PMs. So when he chooses his first Major power leader to talk to, it's gotta be Xi Jinping.

See, the feeling is correct they really are trying to play this one down as much as possible. You could say CPC trained them well with last year's exercises.

Once they start lecturing, just show them the door.

This may be unpopular opinion, but China is constantly talking about people-to-people exchanges, and how it brings greater understanding to one another. China will learn a lot from Ursula and Baerbock, but perhaps they will learn something unexpected in China also.
