HUGE PLUS 1!!! As a public health scientist working in HIV, I can tell you with authority that over 95% of cases worldwide are heterosexually acquired and in many parts of the world, monogamy is the number one risk factor for women. One Nut Kruk - your comments are really misguided and quite...

I would NOT assume that Olivia Chow is dumb enough to run on a far left platform - s as a former city councillor are one thing, but she is one of the key architects of the 'let's lose the socialism' movement within the NDP. She is shrewd politician and the campaign team she is choosing include...

that is certainly what all polls currently say. this man will NOT be reelected. everyone has abandoned him - his narcissistic personality will eventually come to its senses. if not, he will get arrested by the smell of what we are hearing..... Lark

Well said...... According to NOW Magazine, 400 million of the original 1.4 billion provincial contribution is for modifications to Kennedy Station to accommodate the Eglinton Crosstown line. Unless they cancel that line, the provincial money comes up well short of what council voted on...

AGREED! This vote is all political posturing so that people can say in the next election ..."I voted for subways'. No one is going to fund this - this will put the Feds into an awkward position - they never put money into Toronto - especially Liberal ridings. Wynne and Murry will simply say...

While Miller`s Transit City resulted in the new streetcars, Ford`s ridiculous policy moves (eg., cutting vehicle registration tax) and now attempting to shave back the land transfer tax) have in effect, lessened revenues, thereby increasing the city`s debt.

Great to hear you are okay! I had the same surgery in 1998 and have been cancer free ever since!

yes, what you say is right but i don't know any gay men or lesbians who refer to themselves as 'homosexuals'... it's a clinical term that most of us stopped using many years ago. as a gay man, i refer to myself as 'gay', not homosexual.

Agreed! the correct term is 'gay' or 'lesbian'.

I drove by it today on the Gardiner and it is looking prominent. Gorgeous glazing - it will stand out beautifully on the skyline! Lark

I see this sentence on p.13.... "While the proposal addresses the long term objective for revitalization, and knowing that compromises typically must be made, there remains aspects of the proposal that require modification." Is the planning department blocking this from being built or...

It is not accurate to say that we are half the size of Chicago' when the Chicago metropolitan area (Chicagoland) is 10,856 sq mi (28,120 km). The GTA is a quarter the size of Chicagoland in land mass - 2,750.65 sq mi (7,124.15 km). If the GTA had a similar sized set of geographical boundaries...

A couple of points on your comment - Chow - if she ran and won - would still be only one vote on council. Our mayors don't have the kind of executive powers that American mayors do. I don't know that she would dismiss this outright. She would be diligent and ask for due process to be...

i forgot to add that i purchased a unit in this building and was told it is over 70% sold....

knock it off........this kind of speculation without fact, is damaging to a forum.

Beautifully said! this is political strategy at its best folks!! Stintz may be our next mayor - or at the very least, a serious contender!

you hit the nail on the head here as to why publicly-funded housing for lower income citizens is so crucial to building a healthy society... just look at the numerous benefits you listed. As a public health scientist and professor of health sciences, I can tell you that every society in the...

I like that saying Ganjababy - II also found some of those posts offensive. Such awful stereotypes are held about people in subsidized housing - many have community gardens and a far stronger sense of community than market condos do....
