Quick question- for the PATH connection, in the plans you posted above, does that roughed-in path connection connect all the way to the east side of the site to the Church Street Green P parking garage? Trying to make sense of the current path potential going eastwards into St. Lawrence...

Does anyone still have the CIBC Square architectural plans (81 and 141 Bay St)? Since the project is completed it no longer shows up on the Planning Application portal.

Here's one freakish loophole that awaits reform: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/how-claiming-to-be-refugee-became-get-out-of-jail-free-card

I mean you are engaging in an act of reductionism that enforcement = only literal armed guards at every entrance- sounds like a moral panic from you instead that keeping public transport safe requires police everywhere. On the contrary, many transit systems utilize a tiered security approach...

Always interesting to see how aggressively this intervention intersects the geometry of Libeskind's design, which itself unapologetically inserted itself into the older wings of the museum.

Framing it solely as a mirror of the city overprioritizes the TTC's role as urban space while ignoring its responsibility as a public service. While the TTC exists as part of the city, it is not a passive reflection and still has the authority and ability to enforce safety and.provide a quality...

We cannot enshrine public transit as a ‘moral’ and ‘progressive’ transit mode and then allow the lowest denominator to run roughshod and dictate people’s experiences on it. Those that can (voluntary riders) will simply choose vehicular transit instead as it allows them to escape these sorts of...

I mean Corbyn is going to start his own party while Labour will likely go down with the Blarites.

I think the new UK (or even just England) that eventually stumbles from the other side of this spiraling mess will likely have little to do with the current Westministerian institutions that precede it. IMO Rotherham is effectively the UK's institutional Chernobyl with every new bit of horrid...

I mean immigration is a crucial state policy that the Liberals have wrecked and should be remembered for decades to come. Same with fiscal policy, foreign policy, and believe or not, ethics and governance. This is why frustration with the Trudeau government built up over time, on part due to...

Fiscal concerns and social concerns are not exclusive, and if the goal isn't austerity, it should be sustainability. As I've already mentioned before, interest rate payments on the debt (which is unavoidable) have already outpaced healthcare spending (which is discretionary). Even if debt is...

Hence the original statement that Carney is the cleanup crew. Some people seem to like taking offense to that for some reason, despite the actual reasons given.

Reminder that the Liberal platform promised to run modest deficits of no more than $10 billion per year for three years, and to balance the budget by 2019. Clearly that never took place, and on top of that, Liberal messaging during the campaign specifically targeted the deficits that Harper had...

A strawman from you, it seems, and an attempt write off real ethical violations, failures in government, and actual wasteful scandals from before and after the pandemic by labelling things "right wing" and defending them as if they were a sports team. Regardless, the deficits were already...
