Funny how it is extremely important to spend over $70,000 on 30 "heritage chairs" that most Torontonians or Tourists have never seen or even cared about; then compare that with taking down an iconic sign that many people from outside of Toronto view as a symbol of Toronto (looking at the records...

Exactly, such would be the fate of Lawrence East station if we take the Glen Murray plan.

The City, the Province, and the Feds all went against Metrolinx on this one. Metrolinx seems to be an organization with no spine that just seems to go with whatever changes are made based on the flavour of the day. Again, if the Liberals weren't trying to save another seat in Scarborough...

Very interesting point of view, I agree with most everything you wrote. As far as liveability, I prefer Toronto, it is a great place to live and once you learn its little hidden gems, it's amazing. However, aesthetically, it does lack somewhat. I couldn't argue with Anthony Bourdain and his...

Interesting point. However, I believe it's because much like today, Toronto did not and does not have a long term plan to build the city as Chicago did following their Great Fire of 1871. Also, Toronto's great fire was in 1904, San Francisco's earthquake and great fire were in 1906, but they...

Good I agree as well. I wasn't trying to begin a debate about which city is better or which is on a more fiscally sound footing; that is a different forum, this forum started as a straight comparison between Chicago and Toronto. I made a general statement that Toronto could still learn some...

Don't be so hoity-toity. My comments were in response to K.W. Lis who basically stated that there was very little we could learn from Chicago. (I guess by me forgetting to add their quote makes it difficult to know what I was referring to). I'm just stating the obvious, there is something we...

Please read from the beginning of the thread. It began with an anti-Ford comment from another commenter that stated we could learn nothing from Chicago. I'm just stating that that is not true and that we could learn quite a few things from Chicago. I didn't mention anything about spending...

Hmmm? Really?....You actually require longitudinal studies to determine if we can learn anything from Chicago? Just go visit, take a look at their waterfront, the Goldcoast, Michigan Mile, Millenium Park, Navy Pier, take a look at their stunning architecture. Sure they have their issues but...

Trust me, Chicago may not be the city it used to be, but there is a lot Toronto can learn from that beautiful city.

Reality is, that with the internet, gambling is in people's homes now, so if access is the issue a casino is the least of their worries. They have access to all the sports betting and online poker that they can handle not to mention proline and lottery at any given corner store. Board of...

Poor Choices The Spadina subway line continues to build it's stations in remote areas, the original line should never have gone up the Allen and should have been built along an artery such as Bathurst or Dufferin to create a better street level ambiance, but instead we have stations in the...

The Doris extension south of Sheppard along with the extension of Poyntz east of Yonge, these will be a great relief for the congested area. Are there any plans on the west side with regards to an extension of Beecroft south past Poyntz Ave.?
