I am not. Are you?

Demolish? You will be funding it I suppose? They are here to make money as well as to provide housing for people who want to live in the core but don't really care how impressive the architecture is, not to beautify the city. Most of the city's buildings will be boring and many ugly. That's a...

I thought they already have extremely boring restaurants like Milestone and jack Astor? I serious don't know who would waste money in those.

at the end of the day it's a rental and probably will rent well given the locations. Renters and most buyers don't really care about the outside of a building.

Don't understand the need to buy back... if we don't buy back, what will they do, more strikes? I don't know why their particular "investment" should be protected. How is it different from one investing in a company or a house and losing money due to market change?

Fine, just a suggestion. Keep discussing for the next 10 pages and see if that makes a single difference. Good way to kill time though. We are fine with Obama sending out drones killing innocent civilians in Afghanistan or supporting Saudi Arabia, yet a US politician talking some right wing BS...

Let us stop bringing so much politics into the discussion of a building. This really bears little relevance to this forum. Go to the political forum for that kind of discussion, or do something in REAL LIFE to change in the name instead of bickering on the internet, which is costs nothing and...

Well, I hope this time they do remain hungry. I honestly don't know if that will hurt anyone.

I agree. All these Trump comment will be gone and forgotten after the US election, or even long before that. It is silly to remove the brand of a hotel just because this candidate said something offensive. I don't think Donald Trump owns this hotel, nor does he personally have much to do with...

Well, it is a discriminatory policy and people are right to fight it. The TTC can also have a policy that says whoever named Mark can get to ride for free. Doesn't mean we need to accept it. Being "the policy" is hardly a good enough excuse.

Did I imply that it should be free? Where? I am questioning the amount of money, and why it is the world's most expensive system, as the AG pointed out. If a system with similar function costs $400M elsewhere, then we are simply wasting money on this Presto thing. Not to mention it takes so long...

" In total, more than $700 million could be paid to Metrolinx ... for developing the original Presto system and PNG, which would place Presto among the more expensive fare-card systems in the world." $700M on a fare payment system even third world countries nowadays use? It is a payment card...

haha. I don't mind bad building, but please be bad and tacky in the controversial, flamboyant, or bizarre way, not in an extra conservative, boring and forgettable way like this! I hope they will replace the salmon wall with a huge mural, let it be Jesus or Astro Boy I don't care.

Charging a high fare to long distance riders will bring more than just $20 million. Makes perfect sense, works in many cities, all problem solved. Unless one will whine about "punishing poor people" again as if those who live at Bayview and Lawrence or those who transfer from Richmond hill are...

Not sure Churchill's taste will help with your argument. After all, that's the man who has famously said "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes" against the Kurds and bragged about shooting at least three "savages" in Sudan. Rather distasteful I would say.

it should be allowed by all means. I don't know what sense it makes to charge a customers $6 for two 1 km trips, but only $3 for a 5km one. Just give an unconditional 2 hour free transfer already.

I can't help guessing he is joking in a sarcastic way. If there is anything I don't like about Picasso, it is that it is not weird/different/bold enough. Downtown needs ten more of buildings this different from the usual conservative design.

Not that I particularly like this building (I hate most of the buildings directly facing NPS on Queen), but it seems we are starting to make the office towers look exactly like those glass condos as well.

With all due respect to the "elites", the city and its infrastructure is primarily for the enjoyment of its citizens, not a few dozen experts who think they are better than others. After all, it is the taxpayers who are paying for those, not the experts, who can feel free to build whatever suits...

Both this and the Marriot at Dundas/Bay look horribly outdated and lack anything that is worth looking at for 2 seconds. The only good thing is the locations. More suitable as airport hotels.
