Walked around today, following the route that the Jane's Walk folks plan to take: http://janeswalk.org/canada/toronto/new-public-art-collection-toronto/ With the exception of a piece of temporary fencing closing off the back of the George Brown College residence, pretty much all the fencing...

Call me skeptical. This is a Doug's Ferris wheel project. Assuming that the City powers-that-be don't try to muscle out Waterfront Toronto, the flood protection could be done as per WT and we could end up with their vision. But it's just as likely that some bright light will say "well, we don't...

http://www.torontosun.com/2016/04/07/black-lives-matter-member-sued-for-severance-deal Cross-posted from the Tory thread to answer my own question. Having read the Sun article, your post makes very little sense. Are you being over-the-top histrionic or bitingly sarcastic? And what does it have...

Well, this new thread revival brought out the trolls, but you're not one of them, Forgotten. But this is a LOT of 'inside baseball' packed into one paragraph. It sounds like she's clashed with people at the university? I'm not certain that's relevant to 'racism in Toronto' in general, but maybe...

No, it's not. Not even Black Lives Matter Toronto. This is no more helpful than the original column.

She lost my sympathy with the vitriolic first paragraph. I thought the hatchet job by Agar was beyond the pale, but this was not the reply that gains her any new advocates. Desmond Cole's defense was much better.

Hear, hear. And Toronto has a huge amount of infrastructure investment going on or in the pipeline. I'd like the Liberals infrastructur acceleration include the Don spillway, but a Portlands World Fair would 50/50 chance of derailing rather than accelerating WT's plans.

You're conflating a lot of things in order to come up with 'don't associate with Black Lives Matter Toronto because we have soldiers in harm's way in Afghanistan'. I'm not quite clear why giving this group a sympathetic ear would be 'bad optics', either. It would diffuse the situation, it got...

FWIW -- which is nothing -- I thought this was a ridiculous bit of navel gazing. Kind of embarrassing, in a 'really, dude, that's not Toronto at all' sort of way.

While the construction phase is going to be long and painful, the people who bought condos in the buildings along Broadview should be commended for their long-term thinking (or luck). Between Riverside Square, the cleaning of the hotel, the new park and YMCA across the river, and soon the...

I really like this scheme -- particularly the fact they would try to pair up with existing businesses to mitigate the size issue. Fingers crossed!

A new little cafe has opened on in the strip mall at the top of Donlands. We stopped by and had a sandwich and coffee -- very nice ambience, but pretty tiny. The owner will need to distinguish his place somehow in order to survive (S Cafe and Select Bakery both do the same cappuccinos on that...

You run a short term rental service and don't know why the guests are in town?

Hume moved from the Star to the G&M? When?

That's got nothing to do with the CityTory granting the family's request. Do you know whether the other former Mayors were 'diminished' or 'undiminished'?

Why? He is a former Mayor.

I think it's goofy to want a public funeral, but if there's precedent (Casita's examples, Layton), why not? And why be bothered? He's gone, and his influence has been zero since he started to get sicker. Another week and he disappears, even from CP24.

What do you mean 'unimaginable'? If it's good enough for Lenin and Napoleon, it's good enough for Rob!

Hahaha... SL, you can't believe Armour would deign... shame on you. ;-)

Twice now you've completely misinterpreted my remarks and question re: Ford and his so-called charisma. I have not spoken about his 'humanity' or his being a good/bad guy personally or his drugs or his family. You just need to stop. I was, and continue to be, completely baffled by the supposed...
