The revised Villiers Island plan was approved by council.

This would run counter to current seat projections which have the Conservatives winning diverse communities in the GTA like Brampton and Markham. I recall listening to a Canadian political scientist talk about how many immigrant communities rally around the perceived frontrunners, moving...

Hah, thanks. Not to be confused with the veteran Toronto Star photographer.

They really just went "copy and paste," huh?

Steve Russell, a staple of Canadian Olympic broadcasts, is retiring. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/scott-russell-retirement-hosting-cbc-sports-1.7247582

Harbourfront Centre has hired a new CEO. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/cathy-loblaw-appointed-as-harbourfront-centres-new-chief-executive-officer/article_d13b38f6-3354-11ef-8b98-e3e1d185bfba.html

Any guesses on what the new name of the Science Centre will be? I know the neighbourhood has been coined "Don Mills Crossing" by city planning.

This could be the rare scenario where urbanists and grumpy Annex residents come together in opposition.

I suspect quite a few Toronto-area Liberal MPs are reconsidering running again after last night's Conservative victory in Toronto-St. Paul's.

This is my observation, too. It would also appear that The Danforth has a higher percentage of return-CaféTO permits than other commercial strips.

Are there any recent stats to show an uptick in Lakeshore West train passengers during the Gardiner construction?

Looks like Diet Canada House.

I was going to ask the same for the Rogers Centre. Typically the Olympic Stadium also hosts track events, and I don't think BMO is large enough for a track.

My theory is that a lot of prospective leadership candidates are looking 5-10 years down the line. If they were to replace Trudeau immediately, they'd likely be a sacrificial lamb for the next general.

Wow, what a missed opportunity. Dupont and Lansdowne has to be one of the worst intersections for architecture in the city.

The Toronto-St. Paul's by-election is today. Rarely does a by-election hold such big implications for the ruling party. A loss, or even a narrow win by the Liberals (they won by 24% in 2011), will put Trudeau in the hot seat.

This evening.

I imagine there will be college and university administrations chomping at the bit to have a new campus next to massive transit hub.

I feel like we could end up with a "compromised" (watered down) subway plan. Think Sheppard West to Victoria Park, with maybe the Consumers station removed. This would make the "stubway" a bit stubbier. If they were to extend the subway to McCowan or STC, I wonder if one of Consumers or...
