More institutionalization strikes me as effective at reducing the number of homeless people on the streets and on transit vehicles. I think it's cringeworthy to see CAMH's new $1 billion+ campus replacing a campus of buildings that was just 40 years old and quite functional. That $1 billion...

The historic Toronto Suburban Railway transformer house on the site dating back to 1894 was recently demolished. It would have been far better for the community to reuse this historic building.

We just need one more highway, bro!

...and sold to people who don't care about that, unfortunately, because they never plan to live in the "home".

The best public and Catholic school buildings in the kindergarten to Grade 12 range in my opinion haven't been monochromatic. I'm thinking of the likes of Lord Lansdowne Public School, Carlton Village Junior and Senior Public School, Davisville Public School, Central Technical School, and...

There are some nice flourishes like the playful pattern in the narrow windows, but it's dull and overly corporate facade overall. Some colour would have enlivened it. Monochromatic facades often look amazing in renderings but end up looking dull when built and very dull as they age and lose the...

You put licence plate cameras at every intersection. Also, stickers could be made available to locals to be able to use the road economically (e.g. by paying a price for a year's worth of access) or for free.

They can drive downtown and take the tunnel.

The amounts claimed in statements of claim are often far more than what will be recovered for a variety of reasons. Having to amend the statement of claim down the line if the lawyer’s client decides to claim more will, at best, slow the litigation down and cost the client money. At worst, the...

And what about the Thomsons? I can't recall any public realm projects they've donated to.

It all goes to show what a problem the Morouns continue to be. They will always be exploitative of the location of one their prime assets, the Ambassador Bridge in West Windsor, and their business will always erode the communities around it because of their 'good business sense'. The government...

They consulted with Libeskind on the changes, and his comments were positive (source).

They must have used really high-quality cladding on Metro Hall. It still looks new up close in that photo despite dating back to around 1992.

At this point, the season is a failure. They should just tank in the standings on purpose to restock on draft picks. That won’t change the fact that Treliving’s work as GM has been mediocre at best or that Berube isn’t a good fit for the team as coach. But might help save the next 5-10 years...

Ontario architects are almost always retained when a foreign firm does a project in Ontario. The foreign firm often does design work but is usually not licenced in Ontario. Thus, it pair ups with a local firm who is licenced here to meet legal requirements. As a matter of practicality, this...
