Pictures from earlier this week...

Yes, it is only partly influenced by sprawl - you might even want to say slightly. The real culprits are 1) our weather patterns (compared to the milder climate in the US) and 2) our resource-based industry. Toronto is a very dense city, and is getting denser day by day. It is ludicrous to...

Perhaps you should research further what exactly Cynthia Nixon said instead of twisting her words out of context?

Nope, still here in Mississauga. More specifically, on the border of Lorne Park and Port Credit, so it's pretty pleasant - no complaints! Getting back on topic: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1106923--hume-10-reasons-to-feel-optimistic-about-toronto

Political Science - nice! Perhaps you might choose to get involved with a political party? I met a lot of poli sci grads during the last election campaign who have gone on to work with parties or took on various government roles. As for the McMansions, attitudes are shifting very slowly, but...

May I ask what you're studying? Compared to for example Mississauga, Scarborough, Brampton, etc., Oakville is still one of those quaint and quiet suburbs (especially the central part with the mini-downtown). It has a ton of greenspace, is not burdened with too much residents, has enough...

Wow - all this doom and gloom here! I'm actually still a student and the general trend that almost my entire generation displays is a hate for the suburbs and a love for downtown(s). I'm not talking about just downtown Toronto - I'm talking about quaint, urban areas that are liveable, walkable...

I'm a long-time lurker, I only post when someone here aggravates me past a certain extent. For those of you bashing unions, I highly suggest reading a little history instead of reciting Toronto Sun/corporate talking points. One book that comes to mind is Steven Greenhouse's - The Big Squeeze...

If Peggy Nash is not qualified enough to serve as the finance critic, then I have no clue what the Conservatives are doing running the country. Whenever she makes an appearance on TV, her commentary is always astute and thoughtful. Overall, she shows far better judgement when it comes to...

Limelight is a modern building that will interact with the street level quite well - quite an improvement over some of the other MCC buildings which provide no space for retail. MCC is a jumble of architecture overall! Right now, it's looking like a mess. However, I think in the future it will...

The idea is rather unimportant, in my opinion. Why Hudak chose to attack it is beyond me and reeks of desperation. The tax credit will cost 16 million dollars - a drop in the bucket for the provincial budget - and provide employers with money to train new Canadians in selected fields -...

Didn't someone just mention that library use is INCREASING? So using your logic tkip, wouldn't it make sense to expand our library system and open more branches? It's rather distressing how you continue to ignore facts and just spew nonsense.

While e-books are great and everything, I do not see them replacing hardcopy books anytime soon. It's a completely different experience reading a REAL book, not to mention the headache you get when using an e-reader for an extended period of time. Also, the amount of energy expended through...

The retail at base has started opening, so far with Amici Cafe and Gelateria opened last Friday. I had the chance to try their ice cream, or rather gelato, and it is by far the best ice cream I've eaten in the entire GTA! Delicious and highly recommended. Also, Subway (bleh) and a dentist have...

Very true - but the crisis in Greece will spur an economic downturn for sure. This time, it's quite likely Canada won't be able to weather the storm as well as it did for the past recession. Combined with all the cuts and what exactly will your average Joe remember? Harper/Hudak/Ford = bad times.

AG, another four years - yes. Fortunately, after team Harper, Harris (oops! - Hudak), and Ford are done with our country, province, and city I can assure you nobody here in Toronto will even consider voting conservative into the forseeable future. I'm willing to take another four years of mild...

Jasonzed, a unit in Northshore would be fantastic. Port Credit is one of the only urban places in Mississauga to live - it's a great community. Lots of beautiful trails, parks, transit, everything you could possibly want nearby. As well, it only takes about 15 mins on the GO to get downtown!

Agreed! Even though the area looks terrible, with probably the ugliest strip malls in the GTA, at least there are more than a few pedestrians and the area has some streetlife. The same cannot be said for MCC. In the future, with some redevelopment and the LRT this area will hopefully be somewhat...

Are you serious ? I can't tell if you actually believe this and some of the other things you've said about your views or if you're just being a troll ...

Election Almanac has a great compilation of all the polling data collected throughout the election: Nationally: Ontario: Quebec: Atlantic Canada: Prairies: BC: Seems like vote-splitting for the left all over Canada is quite likely... especially in key swing...
