    Can't speak for @ProjectEnd, but on Twitter for me.

    Toronto Eaton Centre

    Well, we've gone full Ars Technica here. All we need is an argument over market caps and we're in The Battlefront.

    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    Nothing I'm willing to hang my own hat on, but it sure *looks* like it's there. The 1983 image seems a bit clearer. (Images: City of Toronto Archives, Series 12, 1975, Image 52; City of Toronto Archives, Series 12, 1983, Image 51.)

    City of mass construction: Toronto’s unstoppable condos show no signs of slowing down

    To an extent. It's interesting that before there were suburbs (whether streetcar or automobile-enabled), there were (almost) entirely unregulated shanty-town-like settlements that would sit just outside the city limits. Land prices (and/or rents) would be sufficiently cheap that people on the...

    In addition, it displays properly in Photoshop CS4.

    Windows, Market St.

    It does indeed! The Fish Market here is generally on the touristy side of things.

    Lansdowne Park - Ottawa (BBB Architects, Barry J. Hobin & Assoc., Cannon Design)

    Won't happen unfortunately as Parks Canada is more or less refusing to play ball on any project that has anything at all near the canal. Same goes for the light rail station proposals/blue skying. This is why we can't have nice things.

    Moving to Quebec - Advice?

    I currently live in Gatineau, across from Ottawa. I don't have too much to offer in terms of everyday living as it's really all just Ottawa (which comes with it's own set of frustrations separate from those an Anglo in Quebec would find and separate from a Franco in English Ontario would find)...

    Your life as a route

    Definitely not the same as T-R or anything like that. It's really not even much different than Ottawa Lowertown (where I work). Aside from the ratio of English to French speakers.

    Your life as a route

    My Google Route Save for my current year here in Quebec, I'm very much an Ontarian.

    Toronto BIAs

    That's how I normally feel about neighbourhood/community murals. I know it's not always the way though.

    Back to Toronto

    Thank-you very much! :) It's looking sharp on my desktop as we speak.

    Back to Toronto

    I'd also be really interested in having the streetcar one as a wallpaper. My res is the same! :)

    Miscellany Toronto Photographs: Then and Now

    I'd jist like to say that I've been reading this thread daily since around page 99 or so and I've really been enjoying it! Thank-you to everyone for their contributions! I hope that once I move to Toronto this spring, I'll be able to contribute somehow.

    Streetview comes to Canada!

    This is great! They even covered the neighbourhood I grew up in in South Porcupine (Connaught Hill)!

    2011 Canadian Census

    While they didn't let us at the bottom in on what would happen otherwise, the data-sharing between government agencies is much less than one might think due to the aforementioned privacy regulations. While in the Privacy Act personal information is specifically allowed to be used to statistical...

    2011 Canadian Census

    After two refusals (we were to gently remind them that it was a compulsory), we were supposed to hand off the file to our area supervisor who would try as well. I don't know where it would go from there. Since there was no accurate way to know how many people actually reside there in this...

    2011 Canadian Census

    It's a really important point to make. I was a census enumerator here in Ottawa during the 2006 census and in the neighbourhoods that I was working in (lower income areas like Vanier and Overbrook, for those familiar), I had very high rates of refusal to participate.
