^ The city of London, Ontario has been experimenting with this over the past few years. That city is in the Lake Huron snowbelt so if it can work there it would work anywhere.

According to the map in that article, Belle Isle has been annexed by Canada....

I have seen that glowing while driving on Highway 401 in SW Ontario. It's from greenhouses [[primarily around Leamington). Here is an article with some photos...scroll down to see the yellow/orange...

University Avenue will be completely redone soon where we should see some of these plans at work.

The whole transit system is going to be completely overhauled soon...the buses could have a new...

I wonder if its name will be changing next year. Comerica was granted the naming rights for 20 years and this is the 20th year of the stadium. Didn't the head office of Comerica Bank leave Detroit...

It's all a matter of perspective. 45 cents per gallon sounds pretty good compared to the gas tax in Ontario [[25 cents per litre....which works out to 95 cents per gallon). Look at the difference in...

^ Had to laugh at the quote where "It says so right in their platform"

At least the NDP have a platform. Doug Ford has not even released a platform...that in itself is scary. There's no way he's...

This is going to be some election. Doug Ford is a repulsive windbag and there are a lot of people out there who were probably thinking of voting Conservative but just can't stomach the thought of...

The mayor of Windsor is meeting with Gilbert this week to discuss Windsor's involvement in this bid. We have to consider what makes this region unique and how the international flavour sets it apart...

I don't think Canadians are "passive". There is an understanding among Canadians that in order to have universal health care, a strong social safety net, and quality infrastructure, tax rates have...

I'm Canadian and have had very few problems with U.S. customs agents but I've heard many situations of Americans being hassled by their own customs agents which seems rather absurd. Coming back to...

It's not just the unemployment rate that's way down....housing prices all across the city are up 20% just in the past year. There are bidding wars everywhere with some homes selling tens of...

The machine would have accepted his credit card if he knew the workaround. All he had to do was type in the first three numbers of his Canadian postal code and then type "00" for the next two...

The only reason LA is at the bottom is because of a dispute with the major cable company there and the game broadcaster. That has resulted in a huge chunk of that metro area having no access to the...

Dilkens is pretty much a clone of Eddie as far as ideology and the two have been close allies for a while so this is good for Windsor. Had Eddie decided to run again he would have been elected in a...

This will be great for Canadians [[there is going to be a connection to the tunnel bus). Easy access for nurses working at Henry Ford, students going to Wayne State, sports fans going to the...

I'm concerned about the election results. It's important for the area to have at least one member in government. Without a presence in power, the chances that Windsor will get a new megahospital...

I read in an article recently that all the police can do is issue a ticket for it...how is that possible? Is it not considered an arrestable crime in Michigan?

It's not that simple and unemployment doesn't automatically equal crime. Windsor has had one of the highest unemployment rates in the country for several years but has also had one of the lowest...

Lake Erie has frozen over - here's how it looked from space yesterday

Not sure what it costs for license plates in Michigan but in Ontario it costs $74 for the sticker to renew them every year. Clearly a price gouge by the provincial government.

What I meant by "highly urbanized" is that a very high proportion of our population lives in dense urban areas. Even Windsor is more dense than pretty much any city in Michigan. Everything just...

DetroitPlanner, there are large greenbelts surrounding both Toronto and Ottawa. They do not cover "undevelopable land". The idea behind them is to protect agricultural land because southern Ontario...

None of those statements are true. Ontario is highly urbanized, it is less white than Michigan [[75% compared to Michigan at 79%) and it has 13 million people compared to Michigan's 10 million.

This is an excellent article that really explains the impact Detroit has on Windsorites and how Windsor is likely pulling for Detroit more than anyone else right now. ...
