I don't find the podium to be offensive, however I am partial to LEGOs.

^^^ Maybe premier dad, Dalton, should send "little" Robbie to his room for a time-out.

^^^ Gritters use a mixture of salt and sand over here too. You do have a point about the winter tires. The city should have a by-law that all vehicle owners in Toronto must purchase and use winter tires. If not there will be a $60 penalty.

I assumed that 273 m included the height of the roof. I suppose Trump's spire is "cheating" though. But nonetheless, if the total height of the building is 277 m, then it will be the tallest residential building, assuming the height of Trump at 276.9m is correct. So will this be the tallest...

Wait, if this is 273m, that is still shorter than Trump.

What is your point?

I get what you are saying. I hate it when my employees ask me for a raise every year. They just need to suck it up and make do with what they have.

^^^ Is that photo real or photoshop? I would envision Rob Ford using this photo in order to discourage LRT. Honestly, I would hate to live on that street if a train was running down the middle like that.

I think this subway vs LRT debate is more like a Car vs SUV debate. A lot of people buy pick-up trucks, minivans and SUVs when a car would suffice, despite the added cost of insurance, fuel, maintenance, etc. Unfortunately, North Americans are so conditioned to consume more than they need. Our...

This seems to reinforce that Rob Ford doesn't really care or want to pay attention to the people of the Old city of Toronto.

I don't believe you. Batman and Robin are good guys! Although, I didn't know they spent their teenage years away from Gotham.

Well, he could take inspiration from Richard M. Daley, former mayor of Chicago.

I thought the system would work akin to having a level crossing, i.e automobile traffic stops to let the train pass, and not the other way around.

I agree that most people don't care about the view. I rarely ever look outside my windows. However, natural sunlight is important. It would be depressing if everyday felt like it was an overcast day because no direct sunlight hits my apartment. Buildings constructed so close together in...

The people that have these complaints are not likely to use public transit anyways. How do you compare a mode of transportation where you are in complete control, to one that you are not?

The balcony glass on tower E is looking great. Really sleek and smooth. The top of "bottle cap" of Tower E does match with the balcony glass.

This is a great test to see which councillors have the potential to be mayor. Strike Karen Stintz off that list. She knows how to play the game, but her motivations to save "transit city" comes off as insincere.

I never assumed nor said that Canada (or even Australia) has not contributed anything significant to world history. Only that the average person does not care about such achievements. There is a difference there. I am pretty proud of my country. We do need to promote our country. The whole...

See, I don't want to single you out, KKGG7, but this attitude is part of the problem with Torontonians - such a defeatist attitude.

Canada needs to be more like Australia. Everyone wants to visit Australia, they have created a mystique about their country despite the fact that Australia hasn't contributed much to world history or culture for which the average person would care about. Canada is in a similar situation. Why...
