For me the only question right now is how many additional storeys $315 million is going to buy

This rebuild is turning into the Crosstown LRT of pedestrian bridges.

Hoping and praying it's the old HBC location at Yonge and Bloor

Does that mean the plants, vinyl, and lifestyle products WON'T be curated?

I lurked around the Toronto Skyscraper Forum as early as 1999...? Hard to remember. I do recall a limit on the number of posts you could view per day. Frustrating. I also remember everyone getting very excited about renderings of a 20-storey building at the corner of of Simcoe and Nelson in the...

Back then, that intersection felt like the edge of city. Now it feels like its part of the vital core.

Not bad looking. Another decent development for a part of town that was once pretty forlorn.

I dunno.... she could have, like, won?

Olivia Chow is the Hillary Rodham Clinton of Toronto politics. Although she is loved by a small coterie of followers, she is not a great politician. Flat speaker. No discernible vision. Lest we forget, she came in a pretty poor third place in 2014 after Doug Ford, when Fordism was at its lowest...

I'll have yet to read the full report, but It seems like Matlow's facts were "straight." After all, your summary of the report acknowledges that his criticisms of city staff were "accurate." The flashpoint was Matlow's public accusation that Ms. Romoff, the GM of Parks, Forestry and Recreation...

The idea that a councillor has to first engage in some kind of quasi-judicial consultation process with staff before going public with criticism is absurd. It seems like the whole culture at City Hall is geared toward squelching public debate. This report only makes me want to vote for Matlow...

Did someone say “least wanted”?

No it's not brilliant. It's a too-cute ploy to try have it both ways and avoid responsibility for the hard choice that lies ahead. Doesn't matter who the premier is, the province will never take back those highways. Pretending that it's a possibility only muddies the issue.

To be clear, this will push the retail to the west. Filling it with offices/retail makes sense, since that property is very close to the tracks.

Here's the scandal we've all been waiting for. Someone is going to go down for this.

Oh boy, that's a good one. A great answer to those who say this city is going downhill (some aspects of it are, but lots of things are way better)

People keep saying that Matlow "doesn't have a lot of friends on Council." OK, I now want to know WHY he doesn't have a lot of friends. Is it because of his positions or is it his personality?

The left has to unite around a credible candidate -- and that means either Layton or Matlow. In a short campaign, you've got to be able organize and fundraise fast. Only an experienced politician can pull of that kind of effort. As well meaning as he is, Penalosa won't be able to pull it off...

To be fair, those are after-market mods. Rolex's own designs are never quite that garish.

How about the fact that every second condo that's approved in this city is 49 storeys.
