    Mississauga 2077 Royal Windsor Drive | 117.73m | 35s | Slate | Gensler

    There are plenty of nearby industrial/commercial areas that could easily accommodate a repair shop (if the market so demanded). This is silly argument (and I am being kind).

    Toronto Maple House at Canary Landing | 89.61m | 26s | Dream | COBE Architects

    That landscaping makes such a wonderful difference. And we don't have to spend 5 years designing it and overplanning. Just plant trees. Native and strong to survive the stress of the city. And we have been waiting for 15 years for what exactly on John Street in the entertainment district...

    Vaughan Promenade Mall Revitalization | 115.24m | 35s | Liberty Development | WZMH

    I went through the mall the other day and I could not believe its decline. Half the stores are vacant and the other half are the lowest end of retail. The mall could not have been more dead. And I do not think a few more buildings around it are going to save it. The mall is already surrounded...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    And we are putting retail on the 10th floor now? (stupidest. idea. ever.)

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I think it was foolish to think this was going to be a Chow vs Saunders race (as someone here recently posted). I do not think he has any wide appeal besides a small right wing base. I can certainly see a Chow vs a centre candidate like Bailao. If the majority want to "stop" Chow, they will...

    Plenty of weeks on that lawn...and I do not mean just the dandelions.

    Toronto Eglinton Salvation Army | 24.08m | 4s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    Metrolinx is in charge. It will not be finished this decade. ;)

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    And with such a large group undecided, this is very much an open race.

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Yes, it appears to be tight up there at the top, making turnout and the ground game even more important. But imagine our next mayor winning with less than 20% of the vote? Not much of a mandate. I expect one of two of these candidates to break through, but even that means winning with...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Not quite sure this is a good tactic. What is she going to say? "I came third (or probably worse) in the city in which I live. I am sure that I can capture the hearts and minds of the whole province now."

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    She will start to fall in the polls. 😂 Just like she did last time when she started out with a substantial lead. She is best on paper unfortunately. She is a concept which does not translate well in reality.

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    We already have a police chief who "fights crime". We do not need two. And we certainly do not need more powers delegated to Toronto Police Services. "Saunders for Toronto. Where two chiefs are better than one!"

    Toronto Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    Keep the Science Centre where it is. It serves the community in important ways, it's a great building and it would be a waste of money to move it. And yes, we can easily turn the pods at Ontario Place into branches of the ROM and AGO. One pod with butterflies. Another with modern art or the...

    Toronto vs Melbourne

    Yes but if you don't have the grey, you will have neon and pastel colours! The horror!!! Just think of the children. ;)

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    It would be preferable.

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    These polls are largely based on name recognition, as opposed to serious and strong support. They will probably substantially change after 2 months of campaigning and debates. Which leads me to Chow: she is well past her best before date. Further, the last time she ran, she blew a huge lead...

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    Yes, the dreary grey matches the dreary grey.

    Toronto 88 Queen | 167.35m | 52s | St Thomas Dev | Hariri Pontarini

    I googled Howard Johnsons in the 1970s and saw one story buildings with tall peaked orange roofs with green steeples. Exactly like this building. ;)

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Thanks for the insight and it is totally believable (unfortunately). I recently saw his reaction to the renewed attempt to stop the refurbishment of the eastern part of the Gardiner (a total waste of money IMO, but, of course, he is for it) and I was not impressed by either his position or his...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I went through Bradford's twitter account: if he tried to be any more 'middle of the road', he would be a yellow line.
