Good scale and nice mixture of design.

A Critical Mass event has been organized for this Friday, starting at High Park. Via TheBikingLawyer on X.

By Downtown Toronto standards, that's a steal!

Wow, big loss. A Leslieville icon.

As expected, Ontario colleges are starting to make big cuts now that international student enrolment is dropping. The Toronto Star says that Sheridan College is expected to suspend many programs and reduce its workforce by 30%...

One possible mediator could be Michigan Republican Governor Rick Sydner, who apparently has a good relationship with Trudeau and whose state has a lot to lose if tariffs are introduced.

Approved by the Planning and Development Committee, via Councillor Tedjo on X.

Curious to see if his announcement comes to fruition. He's previously thrown red meat at his base, before reneging. Some are speculating that he's using it as leverage to force Mexico and Canada to tighten border security. Perhaps he introduces a tariff but at a lower rate, or excludes certain...

Could the recladding of the tower in the early 2010s have led to additional height on the exterior?

Devastating new poll for the Liberals by Mainstreet. CPC: 47% (+13) LPC: 17% (-16) NDP: 17% (-1) BQ: 7% (-1) GPC: 6% (+4) PPC: 4% (-1) Others: 2% Via Polling Canada on X

Today is the last day of CP24 at 299 Queen West, with the channel moving to the CTV Scarborough campus. Fortunately the iconic CP24 truck is not moving...

I feel like if the towers were 30% shorter I wouldn’t loathe them as much.

I'm getting big 2011 Ignatieff/2018 Wynne vibes right now for the federal Liberals. I know social media and online anonymity have made people more unhinged than ever, but I've never seen so much hatred towards a political leader as I have for Trudeau in my time as an eligible voter. I think the...

Thanks for clarifying the date, BC. I should have known better, the style is clearly interwar! I recognize that a modern health system will often require state-of-the-art facilities, but I still think it's an unfortunate loss. The architectural style is quite unique for Ontario, and the rooftop...

If ever there was a more Toronto looking condo, I have yet to see it.

Unfortunately, it appears that the redevelopment would mean demolishing the last remaining wing of the original 1917 hospital, at the northwest corner.

Damien Moule on Bluesky says that the proposal could violate the city’s Prominent Views policy, given its presence behind City Hall.

Overall, I like the height and scale. My only issue is the street level presence, which looks sterile. Perhaps some breaks in the building form, or different materials or colours would animate the space better. At 35 storeys, it matches the height of 985 Woodbine, just down the street. Same...
