It's being renovated to be the temporary home of the shoe dept. while the shoe dept. upstairs is renovated.

Meat is significantly more expensive in Canada, as is milk. Partially it has to do with how much is produced and how. Canada bans certain meat and dairy additives (i.e. BGH), therefore producing less and making it more expensive overall to farm.

What fascinates me (aside from anyone not liking London) are the people that lined up to respond to this nobody's article. Canadians will take any opportunity to shit on Toronto but rarely would Torontonians barely stretch a finger muscle to log their hatred or toss a few insults at some other...

5 pages and nobody bothered to quote the theme to Green Acres?

He's over blowing it of course. There's reserve yeah but if you can force yourself out of your shell and actually approach people the walls tend to melt away. It's kinda a double edged sword I suppose, if you sit there and expect people to approach you, you'll be disappointed, if you do the...

I dunno, I'm one of the few that finds that cold reserve kinda charming. Embrace it. It's funny and really a nice connection with our historic character. I don't think Toronto has ever been a city where anything, even human relations, comes easily.

New York and San Francisco? Most gay dance clubs have completely shut down in New York, they're having the same issues as Toronto as more an more bars either go out of business due to outrageous leases or just general heterosexual gentrification -save for the odd Latino venue. San Francisco was...

I'm not sure anyone could argue with the content of the article. It's great publicity and great for tourism. The NYT is one of the most read dailies in the world. And it was a love letter to our city. It was great.

Still holding out for a Budd Dwyer type concession speech.

Many cancers are preventable through behavior modification. So is the heart disease and diabetes that the Mayor will undoubtedly suffer from in the future. I suppose people who suffer from any of those things don't deserve sympathy either because they can be 100% preventable too! Big...

I doubt there's much antisemitism in Northern Ontario. There just aren't enough Jews up there to "justify" it. I'm sure there's a ton of ill will directed at natives and... franco-Ontarians. BTW no place is a paradise as far as acceptance goes. But I do think North America in particular despite...

Maybe so, but there's a huge misunderstanding or just outright refusal by sectors in Quebec to even bother to get to know the ROC. It's not all blame (English-speaking) Canada. Chauvinistic attitudes about Canada and culture abound in Quebec and its media and frankly 40 years later, most "anglo"...

I'm an atheist. But I love Christmas. It's a cultural institution in my household and Christ rarely makes an appearance, except in the music during the season (which I don't find offensive at all considering I'm a non-believer). I know many Jews as well that celebrate Xmas, not for the...

Well, to be factual on this argument, Quebec has one of the highest rates of identified religion in the nation. Most people identify as Catholic in the province. While they may not attend Church (they have one of the lowest attendance rates in North America) they do identify with a particular...

I think there's a definite need to distance the public realm from the religious one. But it's more about religious values and beliefs contaminating the public sector rather than symbols of religion or belief doing so. Headscarves and coverings in Islam are not religiously mandated, they are...

Toronto was ascendant anyways. The stock exchange had been larger for decades before the PQ. What bill101 did was hasten everything along. Toronto was just a better place for business. The bill in principle seems like an enlightened secular path but the truth is, it's an attempt at social...

No one said it was an authority on proper urbanism however the question was "show me a major city where a downtown thoroughfare is dominated by 1-2 story buildings". Los Angeles qualifies as a major city. Furthermore downtown Los Angeles, despite having some success with gentrification is still...

Uh yes. And except for a cluster of high rises it becomes a collection of 1-3 story buildings.

Los Angeles.
