I love tilt shift photography

You read my mind. Where do I sign up?

Considering this use to be Lake Ontario, I'm surprised that there doesn't appear to be any water issues when digging here.

It's a perfectly crumulent word.

Might I suggest with this glass free views this is an excellent opportunity for some tilt shift photography.

Wait a minute... there was a recession?

The recently announced delays/postponement/cuts to transit expansion for the city by the McGuinty government makes one wonder how much longer the people of Toronto will blindly support a political party that takes them for granted. Had the province managed their finances better in good times the...

As predicted. http://urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?11632-Article-Ont-Gov-t-building-at-880-Bay-at-Grosvenor-St-%28ORC-39s-WZMH%29&p=377736#post377736

Yes I understand the argument, 'how do you know the economy wouldn't have grown as fast without the tax cuts?' What can be said with certainty is that at some level taxation can impact economic growth and therefore revenue. A 100 per cent tax rate would kill the economy and therefore not bring...

"The robust economy will underpin growing Provincial tax revenues. Since Ontario began cutting tax rates to stimulate economic growth, total Provincial tax revenue has increased by $11.7 billion." http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/budget/ontariobudgets/2000/00a.html

I really don't feel like making an argument for supply side economics. I will just point out that revenue increased not declined (as did government spending). I will agree with you that the building will be named after Davis. Very fitting seeing that he oversaw the disastrous purchase of Suncor...

As an urban enthusiast I am excited about the prospects of this building. But as someone who believes the size and cost of government threatens to destroy this city, I am appalled at the idea that such an expenditure is being considered. Yes, consolidating all ministerial offices at Queen's Park...

To answer my own question it should be Davis. You can't skip over him to go to Harris and no other leader in the last thirty years is historically significant. Still you have to think that some bureaucrat would find it deliciously ironic to name a huge expansion of government office space at...

So what former Premier is going to get his name on this building? Ferguson, Hearst, Hepburn, Mowat, MacDonald, Whitney and Frost already have named buildings in the area. Personally I like the sound of Harris Block.;)

When its finished its going to look like it was always there and that's a good thing.

I find most pictures of Toronto from that decade make downtown look more suburban than Mississauga does today. There was at least as much surface parking lots.

There have been huge investments from both Queen's Park and Ottawa. What is really quite remarkable is the city succeeds despite the idiots at City Hall. Barbara Hall, Mel Lastman, David Miller...where to begin.

Yes but its not about controling the interior climate of a building or even the micro-climate of a city. It's about modifying the global climate. Its why they call it global warming or global climate change. Good Torontonians must do their part for mother earth by doing as little as they can to...

Obama proposal could drive U.S. banks to shift some operations north of the border http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/bay-st-beckons-as-wall-st-fumes-over-obama-plan/article1439501/

Was this the site of the first Parliament Buildings for Upper Canada or did the province step in and purchase the property? I can't remember how that whole issue was resolved.
