    Dion commits $70-billion over 10 years for infrastructure

    CC: nobody else is falling for this... Virtually overnight, the Liberals slumped in the polls after releasing their platform and the Tories regained 3 points, and continue to climb. The most recent Nanos poll shows a jump in all areas of the country, save battleground Ontario, which shows a...

    Head of Slips (Waterfront Toronto, West 8/DTAH)

    It looks great, but at over $4-million, they could of at least put railings. Maybe I'll send the building inspector who gave me such a hard time with my deck railings. No wonder they burned over 1/2 billion dollars already, either we're getting hosed or someone cannot estimate these projects...

    Toronto 2015 Pan American Games

    IMO we should partner with the USA and go for the FIFA World Cup.

    The best thing about a fall election...

    Every indication shows Harper heading for a majority with under 40% of the popular vote due to Liberals, NDP, Greens and Bloc splitting the left of centre vote. Sounds eerily familiar to Chretien's majority govts of past.

    Canada's next Prime Minister?

    Maybe Chretien should have sent our troops to Iraq instead of Afstan. The Australians sent a brigade and last I heard there have been no reported Australian combat fatalities in the Iraq war and most are back home now. The Americans took great effort to ensure other coalition members, except...

    U.S. Elections 2008

    y'all take a listen to this... Sarah Palin reminds me so much of Gretchen Wilson, who think they were sisters.

    The best thing about a fall election...

    Barring a campaign catastrophe, recent polling indicates a Harper majority government. As much as the opposition and media portray Harper as the "bogeyman", it has'nt got much traction with most ordinary voters. Poll predicts strong Tory majority Posted: September 08, 2008, 8:13 AM by...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I thought soil clean-up was done on site to reduce cost of shipping it elsewhere. The contaminated soit issue was far too downplayed by TWRC at the time, and should not come as a surprise now, or the taxpayer is getting hosed again. I recall Ataratiri had the same issue, soil remediation was...

    2008 Federal Election: GTA Voting Patterns

    If these numbers keep up there won't be many safe Lib or NDP seats in Ontario, save for a few. When looking at the regions, the Conservatives have a firm lead in Ontario — 43 per cent of Ontarians would vote Conservative compared to 34 per cent Liberal.(Source: Environics survey) This is...

    Lowes

    I noticed Rona is moving out of the former Building Box store on Eglinton and Warden. I wonder if Lowes has eyes on this building or property? It would make sense to put it in an established big box district. Look forward to checking it out when I have the chance.

    Star: T.O. debt balloons $497M in 2007

    I know one family, three generations worth, who live in public housing. This is a way of life for them and they don't no better. The grandmother lives in one unit, her daughter lives in the unit below with 2 kids. The oldest grandaughter lives in unit down the hall with 2 young kids. None of...

    City to ban porch sofas

    I laughed so hard when I saw this poll. Growing up we had a couch on the front porch. We finally talked Mom and Dad to replace the plastic covered sofa in the living room. Dad relented and being someone who does'nt part with things well, moved it the front porch to our chagrin. Interestingly...

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    Teams like FC and Argos are better suited for smaller venues like BMO Field. I've been to Argos games at Rogers Centre and honestly the atmosphere sucks with half to two thirds of seats sitting empty. Even the most successful Argos teams could not consistently put 30,000 fans in those seats...

    Toronto Bridgepoint Hospital | 61.87m | 10s | Bridgepoint Health | Diamond Schmitt

    I had a chance to talk with her at the same fun fair and found her answers to be well scripted. I think she was prepared to do battle all day. I asked some more detailed questions about the site plan, but she really didnt want to into more depth. That's too bad. I'm a big supporter of the new...

    Riverdale

    I noticed this morning the Riverdale Perk installed a lovely new patio. It was quite busy this morning. I might have to go over and check it out for lunch.

    East Danforth

    Rules surrounding produce and meat sales are there to protect people. The cops nailed one guy last fall selling rabbit and poultry he was breeding at home. What about produce recalled due to salmonella and e-coli? How do you stop one of these vendors who just got a great deal of recalled...

    East Danforth

    After numerous complaints from businesses and residents, many of those vendors, especially the ones selling produce, were told to stop. This is not Kabul or Lahore and they need to respect the rules around here.

    Canada to deport U.S. army deserter

    I wouldnt get too excited, the vote is non-binding. The government position is once someone has gone through the legal process, they are expected to respect the results and leave the country when asked. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada ruled the resisters had not exhausted legal...

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway

    That's why I would like to see a 4 lane express route from Jarvis to the DVP along the rail corridor. This would funnel traffic off Lakeshore Bl for drivers who want to get to the DVP. This way instead of an 8 lane Lakeshore Bl it could be reduced to 6 lanes or even 4 lanes. Again, this can...

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway

    Here is another shot looking west. Removing the Gardiner opens up alot of land for redevelopment.
