I was in a different program in the Faculty of Environment at Waterloo. The whole faculty jokingly pokes fun at the different programs (Geographers are always GIS-ing, ERS kids are hippies, EB kids don't really care about the environment, etc) but overall ENV is an amazing place to be. I truly...

Somebody get on this - if he gets a show, he can't be mayor! Any NewsCorp execs on this board?

Yes. Agreed. Also agreed. Toronto needs to think of itself as a first-class city before it can be one. Montreal is plagued with many problems and yet they still think of themselves as great. We need to do more of that here. I knew from the get-go of this article that somehow that...

Sarah Thompson continues to intrigue me. Although there may be some errors with this plan (I can always tell people don't know much about LEED when they call it 'LEEDs') it's generally a good one. Communities should be in charge of deciding the architectural fate of their neighbourhoods. I went...

It is also possible that Tory could take away votes from Ford. I guess what we need to know is who exactly is supporting Ford - is it fiscal conservatives who feel they have no other choice, or people who actually agree with his quasi-libertarian hands-off approach to city management? If it's...

Hilarious :D

Both great articles. Americans are always shocked to learn that Canada is a multicultural, vibrant, exciting place - they seem to think that we're bland and boring. It's great to give them some exposure to the fact that we're actually interesting! Chris Bosh did a lot for this city during his...

First sentence: Mike Harris? That doesn't seem like it'll help anyone gain ground in Toronto...

Most hilarious thing in this whole thread. Hands down.

Does Wind currently cover Kingston? If not, they're a bad plan.

Moblicity is massively advertising, especially on the TTC. I've seen a couple of their stores in my wandering around downtown. But it's true, it seems like Wind is the biggest right now - but they were the first ones on the scene. Also, Public Mobile and Moblicity both seem to be targetting...

Well the whole point of my question was that just by posting I was getting e-mails. But it's resolved now!

I agree, I think there needs to be a clear vision for what Ontario Place is. I haven't read through this thread but I understand from the paper that they want to make the park more educational. Considering the state of the Science Centre, I'm wondering if there will be the money to upkeep an...

Right now, check out Summerlicious (http://www.toronto.ca/special_events/summerlicious/2010/index.htm) - great Toronto restaurants offering prix fixed menus that are a fraction of the regular cost. Many places book up fast so call in advance! On the subject, has anyone had any good...

Thanks! Here's hoping it works!
