    (Yonge) Dundas Square comes of age - Does it need a new name?

    Yes. Calling your average Conservative-voting person a Nazi would be a mistake. (Those people just prefer a Canada that ignores its citizens abroad, that ignores infrastructure funding, that tried to make harming a fetus illegal, that subsidized the oil-sands, that would've gone to Iraq, that...

    Transit City: Sheppard East Debate

    You just lost my support.

    (Yonge) Dundas Square comes of age - Does it need a new name?

    ^ I don't think it's fair to compare the people who as you say, "fawn over Trudeau" to the group that made those statements. That group is a communist group in Canada - what the National Post (The National Post! :eek:) is doing is akin to asking a a far-right neo-Nazi group their opinions on...

    B.C.'s billboard pokes fun at Toronto

    I didn't realize that the word "ghetto" had replaced the word "neighbourhood" in Toronto. Well, I'm off to jog in the millionaire's ghetto...er.... I mean Rosedale.

    (Yonge) Dundas Square comes of age - Does it need a new name?

    ^ That's an interesting viewpoint, because from what I've seen, Multiculturalism itself has become one of the major pillars of the Canadian identity. If anything, I say it strengthens it. Look at Toronto in the 60's: Blue Collar and Whitebread, hoping to become the next Buffalo, NY. You must...

    (Yonge) Dundas Square comes of age - Does it need a new name?

    Who, in this country, have you ever heard say that the Taliban were "freedom fighters"? The people who voted for Trudeau? That's insane. Think before you speak. And btw, the Taliban is an extremist right-wing group. So, if there were a certain political ideology that would sympathize with...

    Next Mayor of Toronto?

    Of course if you mean by "Shoved Down our Throats" you mean, we elected him then he gave out Transit City. Then we re-elected him by a landslide, then yeah, Transit City was "shoved down our throats".

    Smart Centre developments

    I still can't believe that SmartCentre on Laird was allowed to be built (I'm kind of jealous of Leslieville in that respects). The traffic on Laird just about tripled and it's a pedestrian's nightmare. Walking across that parking lot in the summer is like walking across the Sahara. But in the...

    Next Mayor of Toronto?

    She lives in Lawrence Park and is still actively involved in the Leaside Community and attends my church every Sunday. I don't know where Seymour pulled that out of. The Place in Caledon is her summer home/cottage.

    Next Mayor of Toronto?

    North York was just a growing suburb. Lastman was just a populous leader who watched it happen. I don't really see the "great things" he did for North York, unless you count the the civic masterpeice and incredible public space that is his self-named square off of Young Street. :rolleyes:

    Is Gay Pride anti Israel?

    Or it could be that these people naturally held such views and used religion to hide behind them.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I agree with you here. Having a station at Brentcilffe, which is so close to Leslie and is a dead end street, is really really stupid. Laird, on the other hand is an actual thoroughfare, with the potential to be urbanized and pedestrianized. I really don't see the TTC's rationale behind it.

    More Lost Toronto in colour

    Have you ever been to Marseille, or outside of downtown Paris? Have you seen the Arab ghettos there? Have you seen the blatent hatred towards immigrants there? Have you heard of Jean-Marie Le Pen? I'm sorry, but if there's a country that we should be taking immigration tips from, it's sure...

    The Star: Jarvis St. must change with evolving environs

    No, the classic case of Toronto mediocrity is actually the fact that people feel the need to pedestrianize only one road. Do them both! :)

    Moscow bans gay rights parade on Eurovision day

    I don't understand this whole "kid" argument. I guess single people or straight couples who choose not to have kids are totally useless in society, by that logic. :confused: One's sole purpose in life isn't to have a child who's sole purpose in life is to do the same thing. There's more to...

    Transit City 2, suggestions/fantasies for the future

    I heard that Kipling was considered to be part of Transit City I, but just missed the cut. Perhaps it can be thrown into Transit City II.

    Tamil Protests downtown

    YEEEE---HAWW!!! Sounds like a plan! Let's charge at them with tanks and lots of soldiers! Arrest and Deport every child, regardless of where they were born! Hell deport the WHOLE Tamil community, and then close our doors to all immigrants! Sounds like a plan. That'll show those "pussies" in the...

    The world's most liveable cities—Toronto #15, Vancouver #4

    ^ It not a list on how boring or interesting a city it. It's a measure of livability. I'm sure Barcelona's great, but I think your average person form Ottawa lives a better life (less crime, more money...) then your average person from Barcelona.

    Ruby Dhalla: She can't get a break can she???

    ^ that is of course assuming she's guilty. As of now, they're only allegations. This is something I've notices throughout this controversy: what happened to the presumption of innocence?
