Yes, Mr Hume but is it still "horrorchitecture" "If this weren't injury enough, the insult lies in the fact that the complex was built on prime real estate expropriated by the city back in the late 1990s for the purpose of revitalizing the neighbourhood. But even before this galactic...

And what does hockey have to do with the popularity of Tim Horton's? Its not like the place is named Wayne Gretzky's or Sidney Crosby's. Hockey has as much to do with Tim Horton's success today as fur trading has to do with The Bay.

RioCan Square anyone?

Is it a storm water grate?

What are those strips that run across the road? It looks almost like an expansion joint. I don't understand why one would be needed here.

For all its deficiencies, defects and disappoints it is far better than what was there before and that's why it looks great.

The un-hollowing out of Canada Is there anything tax cuts can't do?

No, its more like she isn't the centre of attention but she gets the job done.

How is it they didn't know what they were getting into? Finishing details aside the project is what it was advertised from the beginning.

I had forgotten how ugly the old Yonge Street facade of the Eaton Centre was. I know it has its critics but the same view of the Eaton Centre today is far superior.

No one said Toronto was perfect but we can hope common sense will one day prevail.

Apparently he hasn't heard of offshore oil rigs, oil sands, mines and farms. He has forgotten that cities require, food, fuel and raw materials. Like Ed Begley Jr in an episode of the Simpsons, Hume and others believe left to their own devices they can power their city with their "own sense...

I agree completely but growing government, which is what would happen in making Toronto a province, is not the reform we need. Here is another platitude to chew on: "A government big enough to supply you with everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that...

Thanks. I have my moments. As someone who loves Toronto I understand what the advocates for the city are saying. My fear is that making Toronto a province would only serve to grow government -more politicians, more bureaucrats and more taxes. Just look at the fiasco that is the licensing...

With this Mayor and this council I am reminded of the proverb: "Never give a loaded handgun to a retarded child"
