But I don't think she even plays NIMBY Queen well. She mishandled the whole John Fisher fiasco - according to my friend who lives nearby, half the ratepayers/parents involved in that one walked away quite disenchanted with her. And even as a Tory stalwart, her VisionZero efforts are not...

I tend to lean the same way. Robinson is just so awful - and profoundly incompetent. DiGiorgio and Nunziata are more of a toss-up - they are equally stupid, but Nunziata seems to have the larger ego.

God. Pick your poison. Cornelian dilemma. Between Scylla and Charybdis. Between the devil and the deep blue sea. And whatever other expressions represent a cr*ppy choice between two cr*ppy alternatives.

And it turns out the concrete barriers seem to largely be ineffective anyway at stopping trucks from ploughing into crowds of people.

I'm interested in how they resolve the Fletcher-Fragedakis problem. Fletcher is the senior Councillor, and regardless of what one thinks of her views, is the far more effective Councillor. But I believe she's older, and she might just want to retire in favour of Fragedakis rather than take on...

FFS. Whatever.

I don't really need to ask myself anything. I'm not arguing the legislation with you, except to say that it's largely been that way for decades. My point was that your initial post was false.

First, your claim that you can't terminate their lease for your personal use at the end of the lease term is false. Second, yes, you need to pay them compensation if you terminate their lease. You don't "have to pay them rent" - it's not some obligation triggered by your lease of the premises...

This is not even remotely true.

Just stop.

WTF?

Cover it all with window film. Great place for large ads.

For those of you worried that the influx of boutique gyms and fitness centres on the Danforth would somehow slow, or even reverse, the steady growth of nail salons on the strip, worry not!! The space at 496 Danforth, previously occupied by Five O Seven Clothing (which seemed to have a...

Yeah, no. They don't care, and certainly won't in 4 years.

I don't think people in the 905 care much either way.

To my knowledge, there is no officially designated downtown for Scarborough. So no need for insults. Everyone is entitled to opinion, no matter what one thinks of it, and at the end of the day that's all it is - an opinion. Having said that, the STC area was clearly envisioned by the former...

And on cue, I noticed yesterday that they have started to demolish the old food court in the Bay Adelaide concourse, underneath the BA North site.

I'm not sure that's a valid comparison, given that completely different addictive nature of cannabis versus nicotine. Somehow, despite everything from social disapprobation to the full force of criminal law, cannabis has remained a popular substance. Our new laws change the rules, they haven’t...

Yeah, I doubt that. While some of the corporate speculative investments in the sector may not end up panning out (there will inevitably be winners, and probably many losers), there will always be a market for pot. The issue, as identified in the article you posted, is more one of how...
