I'm kind of curious about this too. Wasn't the OPC hearing supposed to reveal what evidence the newspapers had, in order to verify the facts as presented in the articles that the complaints were based upon?

Does anyone know if those white glass panels will be illuminated?

It's true there are other problems, but this new "urbanized" development push in Mississauga will suffer from those issues everywhere in the MCC and not Parkside Village in specific. The growth wasn't organic over a longer period of time, will have a sterile sort of walkability and doesn't have...

The Cityplace vibe will be more universal once we have 11 similar looking buildings clustered together. 3 is already pushing it.

Person A: Red is good Person B: Blue is good Person A: Of course you would you philistine! I mock you and your rudimentary understanding of anything and everything and I will respond to you with run on sentences full of characters attacks, red herrings, ad hominems and any other forms of...

He didn't fall 200m away - he fell from a near 200m height. The distance has been reported as 25m, which at around 80 feet, it still too far for a fall that was not assisted by a horizontal force of some kind. You could sprint from the opposite end of the building and make a running jump...

Not exactly the same, but kinda like evvabeing in the Rob Ford thread...

It technically is a tabloid, if you're referring to the format of the paper. The Star and Globe are printed in broadsheet format. They are not a "tabloid" in the sense of being a gossip rag you buy at the cash register, who also happen to use the same tabloid printing format...

Hah. I came here to post these pics and Jasonzed beat me to it. Good work! Also, they're metallic silver in finish. The white poly liner material threw me off.

I won't be here long enough to make it worth starting such an endeavor. I don't have complaints, per se, but aside from very good access to the 403, I'm not "at home" with this particular location. I think other parts of MCC will end up with a far more walkable, neighborhood feel. I can also...

The taser wasn't actually there when the shooting occurred, as previously only supervisors are authorized to use them. The supervisor arrived just as the shooting concluded and it's possible that he had no idea how many shots were fired prior to discharging the taser. It's extremely rare for...

I watched from my balcony today and it's probably about half of drivers who make the exit from the garage the wrong way. Many don't know better but I think even some who do know, are simply too lazy to go around properly. In this picture, you can see another flaw in the design with respect...

Someone being in place for a year would be less about avoiding incumbency and more about avoiding a year of quasi-campaigning from whoever that person is. The person will work in the interests of their community and then a fresh face will get elected after a proper election campaign by all of...

Living here, I can't tell you how many morons don't know how to use the roundabout (both buildings enter through the right most garage door in that pic). They'll come out of the garage and hang a left to go straight toward that guardhouse/exit and just yesterday, someone entering the property...

I was talking about the 6 extra shots, not 6 seconds between. I don't think it makes a lick of difference if it is determined to be one shooting event or two. 9 total bullets are not necessary to disable someone with a knife when the first 3 already put them on the ground. 3 shots + taser...

Damn, 8 of 9 bullets. I guess we still don't know how many hit a vital organ vs an extremity, but Forcillo is a good shot. As mentioned before - the first 3 could somehow be explained or justified, but it's the additional 6 that could bury him.

The Marion Berry situation is the closest comparison, considering it has specifically to do with crack. Do people from around the world really think any differently of the city of Washington DC because of the actions of the mayor? I AM NOT SAYING IT'S OK to do crack or whatever else. I am...

I think the autopsy and forensic reports will be as important as any video evidence. We know 9 shots were fired, but we don't know how many of those 9 actually hit the suspect, or where they hit him. Handguns aren't very accurate from the distance that Forcillo was shooting from and I would...

What you're missing is that the Fords need to defend themselves in any way. The papers need to defend themselves here, not the Fords. For them to issue a disingenuous invitation for the Fords themselves to make a complaint - that is the "weapon" I am referring to. From the Star's own article...

Should the OPC really be used by its members as a weapon against outsiders, though? Does the fact that a group of media outlets are using their quasi-regulatory body in such a way not damage the OPC's credibility greatly? If the OPC really be used in this unprecedented way against Ford, aren't...
