I am surprised by a lot of these responses. I am an avid Apple shopper and find the customer service at both the Yorkdale and Sherway stores to be top notch. Always a pleasant experience and the Geniuses know there stuff. I am usually the kind of person who will ask what is on my mind and I...

Well that is not entirely true. It will increase tourism especially those visiting from places such as China for example. So instead of visiting somewhere like Vancouver and there 5 casinos within a 1/2 hour drive of their airport, maybe they will visit Toronto with a large scale casino and...

From the model pics I can say that I do not hate it. Suprisingly there is something I kind of like about it but unsure what it is yet. I have heard from me real estate friend though that sales have been struggling since day one on this one as compared to all other projects in the area.

I must agree with you simuls about some of the quality issues. I have seen a number of things in several new condo developments such as the thin 3/4 counters. Also, it looks like the London sinks are drop-in and not undermounted which they should be whenever a half decent finish is used...

It is true, every other major city in the country (Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa-Gatineau) has a casino. I can totally understand not putting one in the core but one up at Woodbine is a good idea. Hopefully it will also make the 27 Rocket a full time bus route as well instead of just...

There is a much needed use of "spray paint" on the sidewalks. It is for utility locating which is mandatory under the occupational health and safety act for any excavation. The individual on SSC must not know anything as this paint dissappears way to quickly as you will hear most contractors...

Does Fairmont currently own the land? Or is it owned by a totally separate party such as GWL?

On page 5 it says that 18 York will be an office building accompanied by a 37 storey hotel and condo on the western part of the block. Has anyone seen any proposals for this project which I guess would be the NE cnr of Simcoe and Brenmer?

The cost per prisoner per year actually works out between $50-75K per year. I will add my source later when I get home.

Gross exaggeration or not, in my opinion any amount of money allocated to this would be ridiculous! Especially when the effects of drinking and smoking leave such a hefty pricetag on the healthcare system.

Spending Spree At City Hall Wednesday March 18, 2009 CityNews.ca Staff It appears that many councillors at City Hall went on a spending spree in the last three months of 2008 - and they did it on your dime. Councillor Rob Ford alleges that many of his co-workers spent more in that...
