I like our chances better in this race compared to 2008. But you have to think the IOC will want to go back to Europe. Will they go three consecutive Summer Olympics outside of Europe? (Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, 2024 Europe or North America?) Boston is a non-starter. Horrible support and not a...

With the Pan Am games going well and the Opening Ceremonies a success, I think it's imminent the city will be bidding for the Olympics. We would have to beat out the likes of Paris, Rome and Hamburg to win these Olympics. It's not inconceivable but will be a tough task. At least there is a...

Most likely. John Tory and Minnan-Wong are big Olympics supporters. I could see Toronto going ahead with a bid after we host the Pan Am games. The decision whether to bid for 2024 was "deferred", it's not dead. It could be brought back to life under new council. We will see, a lot of things will...

The new expansions looks really nice. What's missing is some exciting stores in this section. There is a big empty space waiting for a anchor to move in as previously mentioned. Hopefully its a good store. There's a lot of crap stores at Vaughan Mills.

I can't say I'm surprised. Target is a just a disaster here in Canada. Wal-Mart is my choice.

Yeah but the team needs major improvement so we as host nation don't make a fool of ourselves and get blown out in all the 3 group stage matches.

Can we really win this? The last time Concacaf hosted was 1994 USA. Hmmm, if we bid we'll have some serious stiff competition from the USA. I would love to see the World Cup here in Canada.

The vote on whether to continue with this bid takes place tomorrow. Does anyone have any insight on the Economic Development committee and what the possible outcome of this vote will be? I would really like to see this city bid for these games, but it looks Michael Thompson is pushing to end...

Because many believe the taxpayer always foots the entire bill. Then they constantly bring up the Montreal scenario saying Montreal is still paying it off meanwhile Montreal has paid them off sometime in 2006. But that Olympic disaster is on a whole different level that it's hard to imagine it...

From the comments I've read most citizens of this city believe the city will be footing the entire bill. They even think the $50 million cost to put the bid forward to the IOC will be paid by the taxpayers meanwhile it is stated that amount will be covered by corporate sponsorships. Anyways, it...

Toronto bid for 2024 Olympics eyed TORONTO - Former International Olympic Committee member and Toronto 1996 bid chief Paul Henderson believes a possible Toronto bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics — which is gaining momentum — should be switched to 2028. Both Henderson and Bob Richardson...

So we're starting to get a feel of how the competition will be in 2024. What are your thoughts? Can we beat these cities? North America Canada - Toronto is the only interested city and only one that the COC would approve USA - They're currently in the process determining which city to go with...

CTV just showed the protests outside city hall. A couple hundred ppl and growing.

Is there still a crowd outside City Hall?

This mayor's a fucking joke. No wonder people laughed at him at the end of the PC.

I'm in utter disgust

I got no sympathy for his sob speech now. People just laughed at him when he said god bless toronto

He isn't gonna resign or leave...he's fucking crazy

The Mayor will be making an announcement soon? Will he finally announce he is taking a leave of absence or resignation?

You think a Big mob outside cityhall?
