    The new music thread

    Perhaps note that they are in YouTube music? (I will not use Spotify) Some great music here! I'm seeing Sloan, Lowest of the Low, Stars/Metric/Broken Social Scene later this year, and saw Rural Alberta Advantage last year.

    Toronto Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    Mods: Perhaps this thread should be renamed to something General Rogers Centre (Skydome), or the discussion about potential uses of the dome that have nothing to do with the renovation could be moved

    Metro Toronto Convention Centre Revitalization | Province of Ontario

    Who is going to build this new stadium? Skydome was built for (iirc) $400MM 1989 dollars by the province, sold to Rogers for 1/10 its cost, and now is worth billions. The public should should not be in the stadium building business. And yes, I know BMO Field was built (at least in part, I don't...

    News from the Middle East

    I think you I think you're confusing my post for someone else's. Your reply (above) quoted the second of my paragraphs. Not mad, just confused. I think this was my first post in this thread

    Problematic Park Design - Why Some Parks Don't Work

    I have gathered running by this park over the years that this used to be the site of a public school. I wonder why it was demolished, if so

    News from the Middle East

    I have had several Iranian friends posting about the huge numbers of dead Iranians - with photos - in my IG feed. I have no idea if it's an accurate count. But to discount it as Israeli propaganda is a stretch, I think. Israel as a nation has a right (and obligation) to defend itself. I think...

    Metro Toronto Convention Centre Revitalization | Province of Ontario

    I rather suspect a federal Environmental Assessment would be required for any new substantial landfill in Lake Ontario. I hope it's denied for a fever dream/convention center

    Sure? What about we keep it where it is? It has transit and hotels right ther

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    $40 an hour isn't exorbitant. I agree the staff could do a better job watching entrances. Perhaps a long term idea is to move the bus platforms at stations outside the fare-paid area so people that sneak in through the bus platforms need to tap to get onto the subway. This would create other...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Yeah, I really wish Ford cared one 10th the amount for health and education that he did for his excavation/tunnelling/island fantasies

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis
