...because of the objections by the citizens of the old city of Toronto. This was a time when Toronto took on the OMB.... and won.

By his actions, it would appear he is looking at a 203 square mile picture.

It could have serious possible repercussions. Under Metro, Toronto had it's local council as well as an influence on Metro Council pertaining to both local and Metro-wide issues. Under the current system, Toronto can, as it has with Ford/Tory, find itself shut out of the executive, and...

While we're at it, can we boot the hipster with the fedora out as well?

Because he's already shown his cards. And the guy who supported Ford is playing the same cards as Ford. What is it we're waiting for exactly?

At least someone was looking after those 37 square miles. Ford/Tory don't seem to have any respect for it.

And ironically, the only actual subways being built in suburbia come courtesy of the Miller era.

Not buying it....the speaker she be the one setting the tone in council. She's already proven that she cannot control council and cannot be non-partisan in the position of speaker...both fatal flaws as a speaker. Why, when you are starting from scratch, would you choose her again? It makes...

The largest district of the city, which contributes the most taxes, just spent 4 years without representation. That same district is going to spend another 4 years being underrepresented...and you think nothing bad will come of that? You think this is a wise move by the guy who pretended to be...

Nunziata as speaker again won't translate into anything fatal. But it does represent a huge blunder on the part of the mayor, which is a bad omen in general. Council could...and should vote against it, but what's the likelihood that they would do something as serious as hand the new mayor a...

A: Actually, progressive, liberal minded politicians (the "left") are more apt to be sincere about being more inclusive. Look at Miller's appointments. Liberals are for things....conservatives are against things. B: Progressive/liberals make for better city building than conservatives, so...

Of course you're interested in other people's thoughts and ideas....when you don't have any of your own. And that's Tory to a tee.

Here's my take on how a savvy right-leaning politician would handle the "left" without simply snubbing them, and their constituents, after lying about what a bridge-builder you were going to be in your campaign. It's a moot point, as Tory is the exact opposite of "savvy". Environmental and...

What are we waiting for exactly? Nunziata and DMW are known entities. We've already witnessed 4 years of Nunziata's comically inept role as speaker play out. Is anyone suggesting her performance could actually have been interpreted as good? That's crazy talk. And DMW for the...

And your comments reveal your lack of reading comprehension. I never said the city rejected the gallery. But by forcing the reduction of the scope of the project, they in fact removed the source of funding for the gallery. At the same time, they allow other heritage building to be demolished...

I'll warn everybody right now...I am going to give as much leeway to Tory apologists as I did Ford apologists (of which Tory was one).

Oh right...that really important non-existing position...3rd Backup Deputy Mayor. ha ha ha John Tory is right on schedule....doing something stupid. I know he's gonna have his honeymoon period, but I hope by some miracle council smacks down his choice for speaker and humiliates the crap out...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there are any proposals before the city for any alterations to 322 King Street West as part of the current proposal. And whatever that added 9,000 sqft floor thing is, it pales in comparison to the 60,000 sqft purpose-built colour field gallery that...

If I had to pick one that shows just how utterly clueless Tory is, it's that one. We can survive with him appointing a clown like DMW for back-up mayor (hopefully he will never be used), but to yet again, snub the core, where the bulk of taxes, businesses, culture, retail, institutions, tourism...

This project doesn't have a gallery. The previous project the geniuses at City Hall rejected had an awesome gallery as part of the Cloud Podium.
