You literally said the mayor can control what the police does - now you watered it down to influence - because that's literally what popped out on Google AI when you look for mayoral powers on policing.

Maybe next time read up on the issues you're trying to argue about. And try to use some facts in your arguments next time, it doesn't hurt.

And here I was looking forward to more of your opinions and experiences.

And the province could have done it with their strata (the concourse is owned by Metrolinx) - not like they did it either.

Yes, lefties control what we can say on UrbanToronto, same way that Olivia Chow controls what the police can do.

Think the city should add an "War of 1812 to 1815" commemorative to the Old City Hall Cenotaph?
Have the US Ambassador be there at the "official" unveiling.

Some further amendments to the winter operations strategy at Council. None are problematic. At least one, people here will quite like:

Can someone tell the Toronto Star’s Cohen that Park Snacks in Cabbagetown is not a cornerstore. It used to be a walk-in restaurant, but for at least ten years now it’s just a seasonal walk up ice cream and snack window. In my nearly 30 years living nearby this has never been a cornerstore.

Cohen has used this image previously in related articles, and it’s disingenuous, suggesting something that’s while perhaps adjacent to the matter, but, something that isn’t there. Get off your duff and find a proper corner store to photograph.
Toronto will allow new corner stores in residential neighbourhoods
Small-scale retail will be allowed on select "community streets" downtown.

There's a live press conference right now where Chow says that the Province has told her they are going to take over the Exhibition Place grounds from the City.
I have seen nor heard anything about this before today.

If true, it will be interesting to hear what this is all about and what the plan for the future might be.

I think people would colloquially refer to Park Snacks as a corner store. It's a broader term than "convenience store", which clearly it is not.

Watch they tear it all down and put up a parking lot for the spa.
