Not really, nrb. We voted against another blob of Fordjunk taking office, and had to vote against Chow the passionless campaigner, too. No other choice. But I knew this issue was coming and I hope for the best outcome from council.

We can only hope this makes a difference. This is a bad situation right now.

If you haven't already done so, see The Star this morning. Hume, James and Keenan are having a field day with Tory, re Gardiner, carding, rightward creep. It ain't pretty. So Tory isn't homophobic or racist. Check. Tory isn't the douchiest-of-the-douchy, like the FordTwins are. Check...

Well this is just awful, very sad.

I agree, Edward. I would like to see the developer and architect push it to the max, Hong Kong style, here. This new version is about 80% there. Pining for some decor atop - for example the exoskeleton could continue up empty for perhaps three segments, filled only with cross bracing...

Now if we could persuade the designers to rotate the building 45 degrees for some added dash at Y&B. Nice progress.

Damn. You beat me to it.

What BS. Things need maintaining, that is normal. This is not a total failure. It's a start.

I've been wondering WTF is going on there. This is particularly crushing because it gives the naysayers something to point at. Can anyone confirm that top-rate infrastructure was put in (i.e. good irrigation systems)? My better half points out that this variety of tree is scarce in...

I just can't get excited about this proposal. I have no problem with the height, and in fact it could go taller for all I care, at this stage. And honestly, I don't care about the "loss" of the Stollery exterior. Stollery's, imho, was a sad old place, made worse by the desperate old duffs...

I guess this will be an interesting evening, what with the prestigious F&P partners designing this skyscraper. While away, working in Barcelona, I read all the stuff about the developer wanting this to go "iconic" and all that, with his references to Chrysler, Empire State and what have you...

I like the Snohetta-inspired part, but something just doesn't hang together with this. It's me perhaps, but as an entirety the work doesn't have cohesiveness. Looking at UT from Barcelona.

On balance I agree with the masses of Torontonians who are booing this development. From a distance: for sure, there are some captivating views of this thing. - Looking from Queen and University, it's easy to be impressed. - From the west, in general, it's easy to get taken by the...

Hello gang. Yesterday, just one day after Hallowe'en, I was approached by a toys-for-charity bunch while I was grocery shopping. I got a bit upset and responded "too early for this". Maybe I reacted too harshly but I first of all wanted the time to consider where I will place any charity...

Okay okay okay, so I only wrote "nice!" above. I ought to add that I've been waiting for a design like this to hit Toronto, a bit out of the ordinary at last, and I love glazing and the convex at street level. Now I see nothing wrong with the business district expanding westward. It's...

Nice !!!

Me likey. Promising early start.

We agree.

After this post I have no desire to address anything Rob Ford-related (it's now such a waste of time). .. after the Tory victory last night, Rob Ford was interviewed on tv. Ford opined on what Ford Nation thinks a mayor should do: appear in public, filling potholes and such. Honestly...

I am pretty certain that's all we get from DuhFo. I'm off to get a drinkie !!!
