I still assume it's you even after the clarification.

That is not @Allandale25

That's this guy:


Looks nothing like allandale25.

Like a sentinel of the plug, the heron observes his kingdom…(edit…it’s an egret not a heron. Thanks @Northern Light).

Enlargement of your pic above.

The giveaway is the black legs. If this were a white-phase Blue Heron, the legs would be orange.
 
Was taking a picture of the piling machines when I noticed that Maple House was throwing what looked like a realty event (plenty of Rentals Avaialble! Flags). As someone pointed out in forums, it’s currently just at 70% occupancy. Why do I write this here? Cuz they worked to build about 1,500 purpose built affordable rentals in Canary- and uptake seems to be slow. Which is surprising due to the mass housing crisis we’re in.

So again, maybe we question just how dense Villiers should be before we do something stupid.

Don’t worry, we’ll still have plenty of opportunity to blot out the Gardiner, the lake and the sun with mega towers across East Bayfront.

At a quick glance, a one-bedroom on a low floor at Maple House rents for $2,600 - $2,800/month. I would assume the event you saw was for those market-rate units, since there's still a massive waiting list for actually affordable housing. It's not surprising at all that uptake is slow on housing many people can't afford. Building more and denser housing during a housing affordability crisis hardly strikes me as a generational mistake.
 
It really is SO bizarre that the Don River is still considered 'navigable' and thus things like removing the old Eastern Avenue bridge require OKs from the Feds!

Any river water used by boat (very loose definition: anything that floats and has propulsion) over any portion of its length is a navigable water.

The irony here is the "boat' most used on the Don River is the dredge barge that removes the silt.
