Sure the term may be an oxymoron but it’s an actual term the city uses which he’s referencing. And he’s correct POPS are awful
Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Spaces (POPS)
Use the interactive Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Spaces (POPS) Map to find the locations of POPS sites in the city. What are POPS? As Toronto continues to grow, there is an increasing need and demand to revitalize existing parks and open spaces as well as to create new parks and open...

Photography isn't a crime. I'm happy to admit that using the phrase "illegal photo" is hyperbole and/or an oversimplification, but such is life on Twitter. If you think this is a case of "idiot tweets about breaking the law", I promise you I'm not that stupid.good job for incriminating yourself there....
It's since been clarified to security that cell phones are okay, but ordinary cameras are not. I still stand by my original tweet, because carving out an exception for a single type of camera - regardless of the pragmatic implications - is just a ban on photography with an exception.

They probably just don’t want 10 weddings every Saturday.

Most of the big developments down that way - even the ones with impressive photogenic architecture - have non-photography rules. I have experienced this with our local camera club on outings. Some are tactful but all are pretty firm. Even photography from the sidewalk will attract security in places around the big bank towers. Considering the image becomes evidence of whether the security firm is doing its job, they are not inclined to say "OK, just a couple and then move on". I have never been asked to delete my images from the camera, but I have been escorted out of places where visual impact is the whole point of the space.
And yeah, some will gladly sell you a photography permit.

There's certainly a middle ground between photographers capturing the view and that.

I was hassled for snapping a pic of a friggin Christmas tree in one building. I think TD Centre, though might be the only building I’ve had zero problems. It seems they are quite aware of the design significance of their building. Brookfield Place might have come around now too considering the amount of reposts they put on Instagram of other people’s photos of the galleria.

Allan Gardens seems to have been able to figure it out. I’ve shot in there many times with an SLR no problem. I know they require a permit for professional shoots, however.

Aye. Same goes for Edwards Gardens/Toronto Botanical Gardens.

Wouldn't surprise me if they cheap out and go with an east/west "annex" option:
Instead of under, the annex concourses would be above the tracks. The SkyWalk incorporated into the west annex and the CIBC Square park connected to the east annex.

The glass train shed is increasingly looking more dirty. Wasn’t this thing supposed to clean itself or be cleaned regularly?
