It's ok, obviously high quality, and am always a fan of timber buildings going up. But despite being objectively high quality I can't say I love it.

Unpopular opinion here, but while the original design renders were better than the current design renders; I think in practice, the new version will look better built. I was very skeptical the original diamond pattern would actually be super visible, esp after CIBC square finished. Most shots...

It was simply an observation. Generelly speaking though, buildings should be more than "just buildings" look at homes and buildings historically. The were a craft, something with thought and care, they contributed to the landscape. There's a reason we like to stop and look at old buildings. It's...

Except these cities do have skyscrapers propsed, not all of them, but lots of them have numerous proposals that break the 150m mark and esp the 100m mark. Niagara, Kitchener, Hamilton and Ottawa all have several skyscrapers U/C or proposed. Additionally, I know this doesn't exactly go in line...

I proposed what I think the most agressive and significant possible response to this attack is. It's a highly unlikely scenario that hinges on a lot of things, but it's a maximalist response within what would be justifiable. That is all I was trying to highlight. I also disagree that Belarus...

Also possible Poland (not NATO but backed by NATO behind closed doors) could take out a launch site or two in Belarus (assuming that is in fact where this missile came from) Ukraine will most definitely get some shiny new toys. I mean no offense Richard but you clearly have absolutely no idea...

No way. Cooler heads will prevail on an incident like this as long as it's a one off. Poland will be under extreme pressure from it's allies not to invoke article 5. If this starts to happen on multiple occasions, that's a different story.

Tbf, I said *more* sound, which does not require much given previous tactical decisions. I wasn't trying to imply Russia has suddenly started fighting this war as one would expect a "superpower" would. (I use that term lightly hence the quotations) I'm just saying there's slightly more tactical...

Yes, it could also be a tough fight, we shall see. Russia appears to have fundamentally shifted their thinking to more sound war doctrine and will be focused on creating defensive lines and holding their current territories, rather than being in unsustainable offensive positions. I think how...

This is shaping up to be bland and boring, but not downright bad atleast.

As a couple others have mentioned, I expect Ukraine will take a slight operational pause over the next month or two (with the exception of clearing the rest of the West side of the Dniper) they will probably only do deep strikes and probing attacks. Once the ground freezes, Ukraine will pick...

This is simply untrue, unless you consider all of the Golden Horseshoe the GTA. There is a crazy amount of construction in Kitchener, Waterloo, Hamilton, Niagara, Barrie, Cambridge, plus considerable intensification (but not skyscrapers) in places like Guelph, Brantford, St. Catharines, Ottawa...

This is not as bad as I was expecting but I'm still worried both the house and senate will flip red

Except CIBC square phase 2 had a massively complicated excavation and already has substantial structure underground and a core that is at or above grade last I checked. This development on the other hand has neither an overly complicated excavation or any sort of anything going on below grade...

I'll jump in here briefly to say the Catholic school board should absolutely go, and that would even fulfill a long-standing obligation we have to the UN after the human rights committee ruled our current school system is discriminatory. Ontario eduction absolutely should be reformed.

This is what I'm worried about. I see this as a win for the government. If they don't reach an agreement now its much easier for the gov to spin it as CUPE being unreasonable and this momentum we just had might be lost. I was hoping Ford would double down here and create a political storm that...

Not sure how you come to this conclusion. There's no evidence that they're serious about starting work here yet, hence why it's taking forever. Excavation started with Cresford years ago.

It's not a legitimate offer lmao. He is literally doubling down and gaslighting cupe at the same time. His offer is "here, I'll rescind the legislation that bars you from striking if you first stop striking" What a ******* offer. He knows they won't go for it, how can you even trust Doug to...

Doug Ford is launching a full on assault on Ontario. He is going after our rights, our natute and greenspace, our heritage. If he gets away with it, it will only be the beginning. Ford recently met with Hungary's president and managed to keep that mostly under the radar. I used to resist the...

Our Waterloo MPP is on vacation for 2 weeks I know that much,.how convenient. This is not a government for the people.
