Yes, do tell. Strangely I don't think I've ever set foot in the Club Monaco section. Did it look like a typical Club Monaco inside or did it maintain some of the building's heritage elements?

They left for a while. I remember a period where the back half of the building was the Ontario Ombudsman or something to that effect. It's U of T's department of classics now (which may move out when the planetarium proposal gets developed?). There had been talk briefly a long while ago about...

lol a Circle K? I guess the area needs something when the 7/11 at Spadina eventually closes

Yes, but the lane coming off the highway onto major mac is only one lane... and then any traffic continuing onto coleraine is only one lane. This will be disastrous once things are open.

Funny, that's how I interpret your position.

nah, that's not me. I just think that it's ridiculous that you'll happily accept taxes from all across the province for things that benefit you, but then cry foul about costs of things that would benefit others. I have no hatred for the city; used to live there and I love to visit it regularly.

I think the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms tells them yes. I don't know what big brother totalitarian state you are imagining, but I want no part.

... and the fact that people just don't want to be crammed up in a condo like you want them to be Look, as much as y'all love your tall buildings, if people want a backyard and space to raise a family, who are you to tell them "no". And after people in the 'burbs and rural areas have helped to...

oh? tell me more! ... Going with your auto journalist idea above, we should only listen to you if you are a climate change expert, right? Also, if you read his article, he makes a good point that with growth of electric cars, car emissions from this highway won't really be contributing to...

This is a really silly blanket statement to make. People are complex. Do you know this author personally? His whole life story, education, etc? Just as I'm sure you know lots about lots of different topics, I'm sure this author knows lots about different topics too.

Anyone have an update on the 427 extension opening? They keep saying "2021" without any level of specificity. Just watched their drone video of the extension. Looks pretty complete to me. Shocked about the ending at Major Mackenzie Drive though. Westbound towards Hwy 50 is a one lane ramp...

probably after Phase 1 begins occupancy. The offices in the other building need somewhere to go!

Many of them are. Plans have been submitted for full build out of Brampton, shovels in the ground in most plots. Development in Caledon is underway. Look at Google Maps. Side thought, truck traffic on Mayfield and on Highway 50 is getting to dangerous levels for passenger car drivers and this...

So, basically, the lands all around here are already in the hands of developers. Things will get built. A highway would be a good selling point for them, but I doubt lack of a highway is going to stop them. The question is, do we want a new transportation corridor to help move these people, or...

Wealthy white mega estates are not who I meant would be the primary users. They are the ones with vested interests to not have a highway built over their large countryside estates. The less wealthy I was speaking of are people who are being priced out and pushed to even further away communities...

I have not; I've had strong disagreements with one person sure, and we discussed our issues elsewhere. And now you, too, seem to have a bone to pick. I supported my claims in posting an article that made lots of great points. No I don't rely on (sometimes questionable) numbers and data as much...

you can't simply use the tunnel to visit the island though, can you? I thought it doesn't give you larger island access. Only airport access. Please correct me if I'm wrong, cause I will start using it for more purposes if I am haha

Oh yes my confused. For someone who has never engaged in conversation with me before, it just struck me as an odd (and rather brash) way to start off. Yes, some debate happens on here, but the forum is not strictly debate. It's conversation. Discussion. Spreading of information. Some "hey, look...

So, a lot of this property highlighted here is wealthy white mega estates. These aren't even public lands that everyone gets to enjoy; they're private. Of course these people are invested in preserving their views and their large properties, and they would love others to support them...

"Why the snark?" :rolleyes: We'll see if any of that actually happens. Like weather forecasts, predictions do not always pan out to be right. Especially predictions from Forbes magazine.
