No question, not happening. I mean when discussing 'EurAsia' as one land mass you'd also be talking about the large American presence in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. That's going nowhere in the near term.

Sometimes, LOL I'm pretty sure the rent for the Revue was set at a very favourable level relative to market, in part to make sure there was money for building restoration. Keeping in mind that the owner was 79 when he purchased the property and is now 96, and is not the CEO of a real...

Sounds good. Tried their Little India outpost.......wasn't particularly impressed. Had the burger, it was decent, but very skinny, fully priced. I asked about the fries and onion rings and both were frozen products. On my must try list, TY. Never tried them, worth a look, I enjoy a...

I'm not entirely pleased with this merger........at more than 40 parks across the continent, they are now far and away the dominant provider of amusement park like attractions with Disney (only a couple of parks) as really they're only comparable rival in terms of capitalization. While, by...

Interesting to look above and see this one is very divisive. A number of you see merit in the building and a number of us find that more challenging. Its not a hate for it by any means, but there just isn't a next-level here that merits the effort to many of us.

Just to give people a sense of what relentless progress would actually look like......... The relevant EA, properly scoped is largely deliverable in six months, The RFP for design can be turned out immediately thereafter and be awarded in 90 days and complete inside a year. That would put...

There is no way to tackle the housing situation w/o the Feds radically turning down the inflow of newcomers. For which I will give the mayor a page from the U.S. playbook........ its mean......first, send refugee families or anyone needing shelter to Rideau Hall in Ottawa, the City can pay...

This is really a story of two things...........design changes, including an incredibly foolish switch to all-electric ferries more than 1/2 way into the process........ along with endless delays. It was absolutely possible to deliver the new ferries by now, at 1/2 the projected cost. (the...

Richard Baker and NRDC Equity Partners are doing just fine........... and they are the ones, along w/their creditors and co-investors fronting the money to HBC......... HBC's Parent Compan...... Vultures..........are not short of capital, they've been accruing capital as they bleed HBC dry.

Word is out that HBC has just bought fabled U.S. department store chain Neiman Marcus. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-saks-owner-to-buy-neiman-marcus-with-help-from-amazon-media-reports/ Thank goodness! I knew if there was a company that could straighten out Neiman by...

Someone lands all the best interactive reporting gigs for UT........ Excellent coverage of the spot but a little less culinary detail than 'The Well'. Did you grab/try anything else? **** Side note, Demetres is making a huge push............they've been around for decades now...

I'm not keen on the above plan. Love to see the net new affordable housing, but I have a host of issues here. Where to start? First, the street grid. This super-block Galloway to Poplar, Coronation to Kingston needs to be thought of as an integrated whole. Even if the rest of the block...
