    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    It is something of a positive that there are fish you could catch and eat in this river isnt it? At least compared to where the river's ecosystem was at one point.

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    Toronto's relationship with Ghana as a nation/region does not seem evidently clear to me. This smells more like virtue signaling than any real attempt to make people's actual lives better.

    Roadside Begging

    I am also not convinced the TPS's effectiveness is really being maximized. I know there is some really hard work and challenging situations they have to deal with and for that I am genuinely thankful - but generally my only actual experience is just seeing them clock time guarding a...

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    I agree it should be for everyone (most would I hope) - but it is it for every kind of behaviour? I think we should distinguish.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Centre | 298m | 54s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    I read this as holders of Office properties are in a world of hurt right now and need to find cash to de-leverage fast. They probably did not want to sell these assets - but had to to shore up their balance sheet. US office valuations are falling off a cliff.

    Toronto as Global Financial Centre

    take your point on raising capital for mining (Toronto and London would be the leaders) - but that is a pretty small sector of the global economy (and not buzzy, high growth one like say technology). Also agree we have great talent at 70% the cost - but I dont think we have a lot of global...

    Toronto as Global Financial Centre

    Also - in any discussion on Toronto as a financial centre - one really should not overtly focus on the Banks but also consider the very large LifeCo's, Canada's somewhat uniquely large and dynamic public pension funds and Brookfield AM. At the end of the day - what makes you global is that it...

    Toronto as Global Financial Centre

    The only impact will be seen in knock on effects in a US sub for the 4 that have a meaningful presence there...some deposit flight (to the largest US banks), some unrealized losses being recognized (commercial real estate the likely candidate) and increased regulatory costs (the regulators are...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Serious question - how would John Tory do if he ran again?

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I feel like there is a risk of splitting the vote on the left currently - but as noted, others may drop out - so we'll see. I also agree that Olivia Chow is not the most dynamic politician so she struggle to grow out of her base. She does have a lot of name recognition which in municipal...

    How to solve homeless issue?

    Think about something you worked really hard to achieve. It is helpful to think of something that others were competing for too. Maybe its a getting a job with a lot of applicants or a promotion, or a getting into a particular university program, maybe its winning an election, maybe its just...

    Toronto Toronto | The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I believe there is a restaurant planned for The One - does anyone know the Brand/owner? is there any other retail confirmed?

    Oakville Trafalgar Lands (Oakville) | ?m | 25s | IO + Argo

    It feels like the development north of Dundas in Oakville has been glacial to date. At least by GTA standards where there is so much demand.

    How to solve homeless issue?

    I acknowledge I have not completed by Phd on this topic - but what are some places that have really solved this issue (and how transportable is that solution to us?). I can't really think of a city in North America easily. Poverty is one thing, mental health and drug addiction are complex...

    How to solve homeless issue?

    I feel at the core of this semantic debate is the belief as to whether or not the issue either can or can never be solved.
