I want to avoid bringing politics into this thread as you have already done seeing as I said I would like to avoid politics in my initial comment. First of all, OF COURSE THE CITY HASNT INVESTED, THEY DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT! Which is why we need private investment on our waterfront almost...

Bravo on your research. Smitherman wasted billions of dollars on an e-health scandal. Pantalone is litterally one of the most ditzy and oblivious people anyone could know. McGuinty has wasted billions on useless government programs and the polls have changed against him for the upcoming...

They arent push overs, these things get passed because they are in agreement with Rob Fords good decisions for the city like cutting a useless and expensive Transit City plan.

Hes the mayor, he should be able to do that. Why dont you run for mayor if you dont like him. Transit City was not a viable plan seeing as the traffic in toronto streets is increasingly worse and lrt systems on the street would only cause more clutter with three cars blocking an intersection on...

Doesnt it make it look good if anything. Seeing as New York is perhaps the most well-known city in the world and holds the status of the greatest city in the world along with London and Paris. I'd be pretty happy to be compared to them if I were Toronto!

No Thanks.

Its about the money. When a shopper goes out, they want a one stop destination where they can get everything they need, hence why malls exist and thrive. No matter where you build this thing, it will make money, the waterfront property is a bonus and they would absolutely incorporate the water...

Name one other politician thats been critisized other than Tim Hudak. This whole forum aside from actual architectural and engineering comments, consists of leftist views. Public funding, billions of tax dollars collected and spent on projects that go way over schedule and way over budget...

Fords vision is insane in a Canadian or more a North American view. Countries around the world are far ahead of us in terms of their pase of development. China, United Arab Emirates and even Great Britain are more open to mega projects such as this and look how succesful they have become. Dubai...

Thats the exact problem. It has taken YEARS to plan and develop the waterfront which has been succesful, but not even a quarter of the waterfront has been improved. YEARS means more MONEY which means more DEBT.

I think this is a fantastic proposal for the waterfront. I was down there a couple weeks ago and just realized how little Waterfront Toronto has done with the $492 million that they have already spent in federal dollars. Toronto is on the cusp of being a top world class city among milan, sydney...

Will the poles which hold the netting be taken down then?

awesome thanks! I understand why the netting is there but its too bad that it has to be black and barely see through...

can someone get some pictures of this for those of us who dont often see the CN tower?

Where is this article from?! Please tell me this is legitimate!!

To clear up my point, I would love to see a Portland stadium, as long as it doesnt sacrifice the tax payers money. We have similar situation here in St Catharines (on a much smaller scale) planning to build a 5000 seat spectator facility. I will definately not be pouring my money on the proposal...

So somehow privatizing garbage collection and so called 'paying the cops' has to do with the possibility of a future Portlands Stadium...good argument there 'my dear' Riverdale Rink Rat. I think a location in the Portlands is fantastic for a large-scale stadium, but it won't be another 10 years...

How is this supporting your argument at all? Not to veer away from the topic but you just attempted to prove that you are not 'bashing' Ford by...'bashing' Ford...

Im hoping it will be made public sometime soon. Toronto's recent rating as the most livable wouldnt hurt a future bid...

An Olympic games in Toronto is essential to gaining a new stadium whether it be in the portlands or not. I believe that the portlands would be an excellent location and it provides the opportunity for an iconic multi-use facility. It could incorporate more than just a sports venue and really add...
