That's prime agricultural land too. And we haven't got much left.

The thought of the GTTA taking over all transit systems is scary. Dalton McGuinty has shown nothing but contempt for this new agency by stealing their thunder at every chance, not letting the GTTA actually do anything. We've created another level of bureaucracy that is already bogged down in...

All we have to do is tell the city that it was planted illegally and then they'll bulldoze the whole thing. Worth a shot.

Levy has been quoted often as saying he wants further expansion to occur around/on Yonge. Given the choice, I bet he'd take a tiny piece of Sam's over all of Sears. I too am not a fan of a lot of stuff that went up in the 70s but I have to say this is one of my faves. It's bold. And that...

The more we focus on building a great city, the less "gimmicky" our tourism promotion needs to be. At some point, I'd like to see us advertising less about the things that...

Jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring beauty.

This raises an interesting question about how and why we choose to visit other cities. Personally, it's rare that there's one specific must-see or do that draws me to a city. My first time in New York, yes I went up the World Trade Centre and did MOMA but I mostly went to just be there. I wanted...
