    Poor to Get Dental Plan (Ontario Throne Speech)

    Not to worry - this government will not do anything competent to help the needs of those who work and are still poor- say, like cut taxes, cut the PST, etc. No, I'm afraid it's going to be costly window dressing, like this dental plan thing...

    Cooling-off Period - Does it include weekends?

    And they better be prepared to wait for the delayed completion of a unit that will not be as expected and certainly not as advertised... Whereas if you buy something that's built, it's pretty damn obvious what it is you are getting.

    Maple Leaf Gardens renovations delayed

    interesting to see if they can find a way out of that condition. It's a convection centre ready to go, but that might be a competing with the ACC. No concerts either, obviously. .... Loblaws just got beaten up a tad, and may not be so keen- as others have pointed out- to blow their brains out...

    Maple Leaf Gardens renovations delayed

    Does MLS&E still own the Gardens? Did they sell or lease to Loblaws? Terms of the lease may restrict what happens in the building.

    Toronto - The Capital of Poverty

    If we truly want to make poverty, we need to improve transit so that people who cannot afford to live downtown - but, for various reasons, do- can move out to where housing costs are less, thus reducing poverty. As they would pay less for housing, the LICO stats would improve and they would no...

    Toronto 2015 Pan American Games

    SPECACULAR AND RIGHT ON! Who is going to pay for this boondoggle? Would private enterprise? Hell no- then it's a bad idea and we shouldn't do it.

    Harper Slashes Funding for Ontario Community AIDS Programs

    Given the incidents of the disease, AIDS research is WILDLY over - funded. Need more money for breast cancer research. Breast cancer is taking out women like crazy... I think it's time to stop being sexist and instead rededicate funds from AIDS to breast cancer.. what kind of woman hating...

    Cooling-off Period - Does it include weekends?

    Damn right! Hit enter without proofreading or the like- so I edited it a bit.. Be mindful of the reputations of builders as well.. but it can be difficult to get a proper read, as many owners do not want to talk down the value of their own building, etc. if it is crap.

    Cooling-off Period - Does it include weekends?

    READ THE CONTARACT CAREFULY! Be Leary of buying off spec! Better to buy something already built so that you can lay your eyes upon it! Don't worry, if you buy off spec, I can assure you:1, the unit will be LATE, 2, smaller, 3, not exactly what you thought, 4 different than in the...

    Infinity: Phases 1 & 2 (Conservatory Group, 35 + 16 + 12s, E I Richmond) COMPLETE

    Well, hopefully it will be surrounded by the City place and Maple Leaf Square things and thus be overlooked/ forgotten/ made largely irrelevant- HOWEVER- this is key:fact these towers are landmarks whether or not they're worthy of attention, the need for better design is more critical than ever-...

    Toronto 2015 Pan American Games

    Ideally, however, public tradiant would get built on the grounds that it's just plain reasonable to do so and it would not be depending on any games or billion dollar screw-ups of any kind. Transit infrastructure is expensive enough, no need to tie it to some hand grenade in the government books...

    Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

    If you're lower class, your name is on your shirt. If you're middle class, your name in on your door. If you're upper class, you name is your the building. If you're a turd, you don't have to worry about shirts, doors or buildings.

    Maple Leaf Gardens renovations delayed

    Use massive amounts of tax dollars to build a shrine.... a shrine to me! .. I think it's a heck of a plan. OR- let private enterprise do with it as it will

    Bomb Hoax at the ROM

    I think artists can get away from it if they are lefty /socially progressive/ show a hate on for the Untied States. Otherwise, as the Germans woudl say, it's verboten. Using the German world is good as many Canadian artists have a huge hate on for the States- resulting in hate based Canadian...

    TDSB Ponders Black-Focused Schools

    two points: Taking stats and screwing them up- or throwing a dart at a board and saying, "See?!?" And in particular, throwing a dart at at dart board, getting some number, then labeling all who disagree racists is part of what being socially progressive is all about! There are all sorts of...
