^ Exactly. Let market forces dictate removal of the name, not some silly politician looking for headlines (a la Trump in the first place). I would love the irony though of Trump's gambit into politics being the downfall of his empire (again). Sadly, from reading comments on some sites regarding...

Mulroney-Reagan were very close. They even sang a duet at one point at a function (Irish eyes are smiling IIRC) And Trudeau's campaign should remind you of Obama's. He used the exact same companies and techniques and even sought advice from the DNC. That was their main goal in planning this...

Thanks for the pics. They also need to move their webcam. It's sort of pointless right now. http://www.tridel.com/resources/home-owners/community-resources/ten-york/

FYI - This won't look exactly like the renders (surprise, surprise). I know that some of the red/orange splashes on those inset balcony walls will actually be vision glass in some cases. I bought a unit here and it shows this colour on my balcony, but I confirmed with the sales lady that it is...

Good news - sales office/old beer store has begun to be demolished. They have the front wall down and part of the back wall. Too dark for photos. From here on in I'll post in the Building forum since it appears it's finally made it to the construction stage.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? Thank god I don't use streetcars.........

I started hearing Harper do commercials (radio) last week. Each day is a new one on a different topic. He seems personable in the spots. I guess that's all they're doing for publicity till the end. I'll be amazed if they even come close to majority. He should be done - and resigning - I believe...

There is no parking fee at Scarborough GO. At least not yet. At half hour freq it's fine for me, was a bit challenging 4+ years ago. I'm about the same distance (~ 2.5km) but I drive there too most of the time. In spring and fall during comfortable temps I'll walk. Not doing it in the humidity...

Yup, totally agree. I had a real estate agent in to see my house in the spring and he explained that the Bluffs is seeing far higher increases in prices relative to the Beaches because people are being priced out of that hood and the Bluffs is a fairly good compromise for people. A few of my...

I'm not arguing sidewalks aren't safer, but those kids did start off on a sidewalk. What the real issue was, the side they were crossing to, the homeowner has 6 foot bushes almost right against the street (which must be illegal.) leaving them no where to go, except the street - most kids near me...

That actually, may be the real reason they don't want sidewalks. The sidewalk plowers in this area are atrocious. They tear up front lawns and scrape up peoples fences, leave windrows on both sides of the sidewalk all the time, etc - and they usually don't even clear all the snow, leaving an...

I live a few blocks away from these NIMBY's and also don't have sidewalks. Feel bad for winter walkers. If it's real bad, they usually walk in the tire ruts in the middle of the road. And if cars pass them, they usually get splashed since the cars are no longer in the ruts. I'd actually like to...

You're missing the obvious - they might have to actually shovel them. Second, they live in Scarborough, walking's for other people, they drive everywhere, always have, always will. Although, to give them a little benefit of the doubt, it is a pretty steep hill for them to get back up to...

They're having a golden shovel dirt tossing event on the third. http://kingstonandco.ca/kingstonco-breaks-ground/ If you check the link, they have a photo of the shiny shovels, but more importantly you can see one of the shoring rigs in the background. They also demolished the last of the...

Easily my favorite aA condo tower. Love the use of vertical rectangles on the bottom portion to combat the long slab balconies up top. I hate a lot of balcony treatments (especially on towers), but understand they're a necessary evil of the industry. This is the best accommodation for them I've...

I believe they were just used as convenient examples, since one of the papers had an article on it this week. Cant find it right now tho.

For now the condos are teeny, give it a year and they should dwarf the office towers - in height at least. It'll be interesting to see the lower floors when they start getting windows and railings. Curious to see how the effect of the randomized balconies is highlighted/downplayed.

Auto darwinism at it's finest. If the physical jolt of that accident doesn't teach him a lesson, the financial impact certainly will. That's a brand new civic he just wrote off, and unless he paid extra for his insurance where they guarantee to replace the full value of another new car, he'll...

Generally, I'd agree with you. EG - auto commuters daily trek. They just put their minds on cruise control and take the route they take daily. The point is, that when you see something different - as in QQ. You should slow down and understand what the signals and signs are telling you. As for...
