    Picking this discussion back from the bin here... I've been researching our fine candidate for mayor and have heard several times that Mr Saunders is/was not well regarded by many in the Toronto Police Service but I cannot verify this in print. Can anyone provide an article or incident where the...

    Thank you very much for the update, Jack Landau. You have answered all my current questions for this wonderful project. Now if we can only nail down Apple as the "Flagship" tenant...

    This warehouse was the Canpar central freight sorting plant. I worked there briefly in the 1990's. Canpar moved to a new facility in Mississauga in the 2000's.

    MCC will always be a no-go zone for pedestrians. Get over it. Put the parkette in the middle, between the buildings where people might actually use it. Plug the highway corner with a concrete wall. Paint it with pretty colours for the hundreds of cars per minute going by and keep the kids on the...

    Apologies for the watermarks. They will be gone for my next round of photos. Also (yes, I know this is not directly pertinent to the thread), I found these notices for proposed developments that aren't on the map. Would someone please direct me?

    Are these proportions similar to the big builds in NYC and such?
