    VIA Rail

    So what we did was deal with FastFrate to handle our intermodal - Toronto to Vancouver, then on to Seattle or Portland. We actually got good customer service. I guess because they have preferred terminal access, and are picking up the last mile, they were able to arrange things that we simply...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    This is no longer completely true. COVID and remote work has probably changed QEW traffic patterns moreso than any other highway in the GTA. The route from Oakville to 427 has improved significantly in both directions, AM and PM rush. Especially on certain days of the week when there are more...

    Toronto Toronto | KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    There is no where for it to go. No one is onboard yet to continue production. They will be lucky to see this start by summer.

    Why do police have to stand at construction sites?

    The police are charging their time to the builder, or film production company, or whomever. It's a racket, but it isn't being paid for by taxpayers. P.S: TPS charges $90/hr, with a $270 minimum, for a constable. If you need 4 or more constables, then you also need to hire a Sergeant.

    Oakville Toronto | The Matheson | 11.89m | 3s | Sigma | Vulcan

    Not too long. They were still working there even a couple months ago.

    Planned Sprawl in the GTA

    Let's also not forget that the people we are hearing from who spout this kind of nonsense are still an absolute fraction of the population. Yes, mass social media is toxic, but even the people we are all interacting with on it or the internet in general are not the silent majority.

    Toronto Toronto | KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    Exactly right. There are significant quantities of metal, glass, fabricated frames, etc. It complicates bringing new people on board, because they will obviously price it high, as no one wants to deal with trying to sort so much material and drawings. It is easier to start fresh. Westbank has...

    Yonge-Dundas Square/Sankofa Square (Brown + Storey Architects)

    Keep in mind that a large percentage of that 92% come from Caribbean nations, and you can guess how their ancestors arrived there.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Failure of imagination. All building in that photo will be casino. A casino on every corner for all the folks. They deserve it.

    Should gas stoves be banned?

    Modern electric stoves are pieces of crap. You are lucky if a modern stove lasts 5 years. I'll keep my gas, thanks.

    Toronto Toronto | East Harbour | 214.2m | 65s | Cadillac Fairview | Adamson

    CF ain't gonna build hundreds of thousands of SF of commercial office space on spec in this market. It won't happen. Not with a 15% vacancy rate and with downtown office projects being constructed now with no or limited leases signed (i.e. Portland Commons ,T3 Bayside). It will take many years...

    Commercial market is absolutely dead right now. Any build-out here is years away.

    Not just residential. For CF, Zeidler has done many projects across the country. Here in Toronto recently for CF they have done: Eaton Centre Galleria skylight, BMO Campus (with Q2), 2 Queen W, the Queen St Bridge. Zeidler also acquired Queen's Quay (Q2) a few years back, who has a long history...
