Buddies can be fun, because you can dance to pop music, which doesn't require being under the influence of drugs... unlike house music. Of course, the best music is played in the West End.

Right, like they do in Rome.

Not "of our times", but "of our city". Toronto has boring residential architecture and rich developers. The two are related. If we get something "grand" like a fountain, which are found everywhere in world class cities, at a project like this, forget it.

I'd love to see something with lots of glass and aluminum.

I got a private tour of it once from the owner. They literally had friends doing the carpentry in off-hours kind-of-thing. It is gorgeous though.

Kinsella comes off as a narcissistic, unlikeable gossip-queen. I really don't like that asshat.

Interesting. The Downtown Tall Buildings Guidelines outlaw/discourage colonnades.

You all realize it is April and the vote is in October, right? No one will remember what happens today. All that counts is the narrative in the few weeks leading up to election day.

A very good addition!

Awesome.

Anyone heard anything new? There are some rumours that Diamondcorp might flip this project, now that the soil is "cleaned up".

The fact is that TPS will have to justify the amount of resources they put towards this case going forward based on potential ROI.

SO is the official story for the history books the following? Sandro Lisi acted entirely on his own accord to retrieve the crack video, simply because he felt like it was the right thing to do for his friend and employer?

TPS knows their reputation, top-to-bottom, is on the line if Rob Ford is not charged with something. My guess is that they are buckling down and won't give up. At this point, they need to justify their own existence. You simply cannot let the MAYOR get away with all of this disgusting...

Because you're going to hear Ford say "I am not a criminal", and "If I did something wrong, I would be in jail" until October, and this will resonate with the same idiots that voted him into office. It will also bolster the idea that the lefty elites, and John Tory, and Andy Pringle, and Bill...

And guess who's watch it happened under? Looks like Ford can only blame himself on this one!

How does drawing from a reserve count as "saving money"? This report, whether accurate or not, will be big for Ford. Dumb people who would consider voting for him aren't interested in the details.

While I agree with his opinions on Ford, Warren Kinsella comes off as an insufferable twat.

Pizza has been done again and again. YAWN. Enjoy your new-world knock-off. I'll go to Napoli when I'm in the mood for a slice (which is never, because I'm not a culinary pleb).
