    Fox News Insults Canada and the Canadian Forces

    Meh - it's their red eye show that comes on at something like 3am. As a Canadian living in Phoenix, I chuckled when I got sent the youtube links from several colleagues in our Toronto office. Does anyone really take Fox News seriously anymore? It's like watching SNL.

    Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

    We are in a town full of this. No wonder people are just sick and tired of the same mundane politeness. Why can't we just be loud or brash sometimes. Geez.

    Tories blamed for coming deficits

    Huh? You are way off. And I quote: - It projects that Canada’s total government net debt-to-GDP ratio, which has been the lowest in the G7 since 2004, will continue to decline in future years. - The federal debt-to-GDP ratio is expected to fall to 29.9 per cent in 2007–08. Although...

    "Businesses Fleeing to the 905"

    His concerns and perspectives on these issues are just as valid - regardless of the perceived negative tone. It seems like when a different perspective is shared then the 'group-think' mentality here - they are unfairly ostracized.

    Brookfield Sells TD Canada Trust Tower

    Interesting. Sounds like they might be raising capital for a new project.

    Toronto Eaton Centre

    Well if they can find someone stupid enough to buy the name - it's easy money made. Afterall, it's just a non-rev generating asset. But what's next, Consumers Distributing...Biway..Woolco.

    Hudson's Bay Company

    Great news! L&T would definitely attract a sizable subset of customers that shop at Holts but wouldn't be caught dead shopping at The Bay. The Bay brands have been stagnant for decades - with a poor merchandising selection and a lackluster branding effort over the decades. The only...

    Toronto Toronto | Cumberland Square | 253.92m | 75s | KingSett Capital | Giannone Petricone

    It's posted right next to the entrance of Cumberland Terrace - so I'm assuming it must be for this location. I'll try to grab a pic of the sign when I pass by later this afternoon. Edit: Here's a quick pass-by pic

    Toronto Toronto | Cumberland Square | 253.92m | 75s | KingSett Capital | Giannone Petricone

    There's a new notice posted outside of the Cumberland entrance on Yonge for 2 residential towers and retail at grade. Sorry didn't have a chance to note any other details. It's about time!

    Hudson's Bay Company

    Try going to any Lord & Taylors or Macys, and you'll quickly see how shoddy The Bay looks & feels in comparison. Whoever's running the show at the Bay should have been sacked long ago. The entire brand feels like a giant discount store - right down to the cheap yellow shopping bags. How...

    Game over for Funland Arcade

    Great news! Now the jane & finch crowd will now have to find somewhere else to loiter.

    Toronto Toronto | Boutique Condos | 106.37m | 35s | Urban Capital | ZAS Architects

    Looks like verve - with a hat and better massing.

    Museum Station

    Thank you for your comments on the recently unveiled Museum Station Renaissance Project forwarded to TTC Chair Adam Giambrone. This is the first project undertaken by the TTC in partnership with the Toronto Community Foundation, a philanthropic organization which provided 75% of the project...

    Museum Station

    I wrote Adam a few weeks ago a nasty email regarding the stations ceiling. Here's the reply I received a few days ago - thought you guys would be interested. I'm not sure I buy the idea of a 'gallery' look. >>>>>> Chair Adam Giambrone has forwarded your email of recent date regarding the...

    Museum Station

    I have to disagree. If the project came close to looking like the 2nd rendering, it would have been acceptable. But this is typical Toronto half-assed "good enough" results - how embarrassing. The monkeys running the show at the TTC need a good poaching.

    Hike taxes more, Board urges

    Not surprising, considering they represent the business community and not homeowners. Now if they recommended the same tax increase to businesses, that would raise some eyebrows.

    Immigration Road Blocks

    Indeed - as an executive of the company. This visa will also allow priority placement for a greencard when I apply in a few years.

    Immigration Road Blocks

    heckles, It's been quite the opposite experience actually for me lately - as I'm doing the exact opposite and moving to the US. Although the application for a work/live visa (L1) was prepared by our lawyer, the review process was completed by a border agent and issued on the spot at the...

    Toronto Toronto | Corus Quay | ?m | 8s | Waterfront Toronto | Diamond Schmitt

    Does this sum up the changes? 1. Ohh ahhh, wood-lined wings on the roof. Don't mind the banal box below. 2. An exciting central screen for the atrium. Enjoy our reruns. Re: Piano at Union Station 3. Added sliding doors to one side? Added some lounge with a bunch of chairs and tables? Can't...
