I’ll be brief here.

• Tangerine (formerly ING Direct) just informed me that their foreign exchange rate charge is moving from 2% to 2.5%. I didn’t know it was best in class; now it isn’t. Please don’t tell me that.
• Panasonic. Apparently they are going to reduce their digital camera efforts. I have several Panasonic digital cameras. I like them very much. The latest improvement was exactly what I wished-to-God they would do: a better, faster, longer zoom than the FZ18 with a much better EVF and weatherproofing. They did it. Now they may stop innovating.
  Please don’t tell me that.
• Scarborough subway and John Tory. Apparently he’s got better numbers talking to ‘lots of people’ than real studies. The one-stop subway is imho an enormous boondoggle Tory hasn’t the guts to stop. His numbers are imho nonsense.
  Please don’t try to tell me that.
• Vaughan Go station and John Tory. This comes out of the Smart Track budget. It will actually increase driver traffic. This is because the delay caused by an unnecessary stop will cause some 3% of current Go users to revert to their cars. So, we’re paying (out of a limited, almost non-existent traffic budget) for a stop that makes Tory Smart Track look like it’s on track. Which will increase vehicle traffic.
  Please don’t tell me that.

Person of Interest: John Tory, two out of four.
