Yes, on Friday I took the new bridge westbound as well.

Well, ultimately all private property is serviced by public water pipe. I can possibly see a reason for a need to do it. Perhaps new infrastructure to accommodate the development? It doesn't exactly explain how long it has been shutdown though.

I don't understand this statement. Clearly someone turned the water off, so clearly it could also be turned back on. If I recall, the issue with it was that it leaks into the parking garage below it...

How is it a distraction? You can't tell me that such huge percentages of condos and homes being investor owned is a "distraction". Come on. It is no more a distraction than any of the other issues. Of course it is not the only issue, and trying to defend it as if critics think it is the only...

So do you think those investors are helping to make housing affordable? Or what about the thousands of condos that investors hold on to after occupancy, which get rented out. Is that helping too? People have been buying pre-construction for the last 50+ years. There is nothing magically...

Maybe the government should take a look at how housing prices are being affected by the thousands of units bought by investors (not foreign buyers) or realtors, who are flipping the units/houses after occupancy, or renting them for extortion prices. These people add nothing to our economy...

There is no possible way to meet the yearly housing starts target. It's not possible in any near term. Maybe in five to ten years we can start to hit it. Everyone in the industry that is pushing the government to "build more housing" - developers, builders associations, etc. has a vested...

He is looking at selling of part of his 25% stake, not the full stake. Apparently he wants to sell 20% of Kilmer Sports to OMERS. Bell & Rogers are challenging it, because they believe they have first right of refusal to buy at a lower price. The leagues are in favour of the deal (I believe...

You are right, and I hope that remains the case.

I highly doubt it will survive the complete rebuild of the hospital.

Kilmer Group has a bunch of different arms, but a major part of it is real estate/infrastructure investment. They are also a major shareholder of MLSE.

Substantial completion is three weeks from now, so very soon.

It is not, no. It is greenfield. "The site in east St. Thomas is bounded by Highbury Avenue, Ron McNeil Line, Yarmouth Centre Road, and the rail line just north of Talbot Street, Dyke said." https://lfpress.com/business/local-business/st-thomas-lands-vw-electric-battery-plant The old Ford...

Exactly. Mr. I've bought 150+ properties in the video is an integral part of the problem he is shouting about.

Yes, plenty of people do this too. It would be interesting to see published numbers on how many people actually do it.

What I took from the article you posted is not that it is "easier" in those other places, but there is actual job demand. Moving to the USA is also not so straightforward, as you need employer sponsorship. There are also big differences with our system. For example, if you are getting...

I have known quite a few people in this situation. Construction is full of these people, because we are so desperate for people that we essentially require zero qualifications. That being said, I think it is wrong that the Federal government implemented current immigration points system, when...

It's a good thing then that Antonov is a Ukranian company. I am sure they will do their best to help the war effort.

Most engineering positions don't pay very well already. You can make more on the tools in many cases than the average engineer. I am also surprised by this - because as far as I know there isn't much of an engineering shortage. Just a few years ago, the problem was that most engineering...

The feeling among some seems to be that PEO, along with the rich engineers that own firms, are happy to go along with this as it will depress wages. It also disadvantages Canadian engineering graduates. Canadian engineering programs are incredibly competitive to enter, where students are...
