Why would anyone bother buying from a developer that recently pulled the plug on their Icona development in Vaughan? I'm guessing this doesn't break ground either. What kind of deposit do people give when putting down a down payment on a development such as this?

In a Toronto Star article from today what I found to be surprising was this: "The grey aluminum siding atop the outdoor walls will be replaced with black cladding" https://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2018/07/01/scotiabank-arena-now-officially-the-home-of-maple-leafs-and-raptors.html

I'll wait until the whole thing is complete before I make up my mind but it does not look promising. I guess you have to get something when you are paying $800m dollars for naming rights (I can't get over what they are paying for naming rights especially when a lot of people will continue to...

I have a question about homelessness. Recently while sitting in the food court at Yonge/Dundas square there was a group of young people listening to a guy talk about being homeless. From what I heard he seemed to preparing them for life on the street. Covering everything from selling stolen...

Strange that in one image they show the turf course inside the dirt course. It used to be that way but not in a long time.

That is true of the Operating Expenses Budget but not the Capital Expenditures Budget.

Ha ha! A dinky little extension and that is about it! Despite the fact that the city and (especially) the province and federal government at running yearly deficits. Don't forget we have to pay for all the civil servants that are looking after us so well (and their pay and pensions).

In the video link posted earlier the developer said the all the commercial space was leased.

Nice videos. This is taken from which floor?

Could you maybe give a hint as to whether what is happening behind the scenes is likely to please/disappoint the people most closely following this thread?

I can't express how much I support virtually all of what is stated here (although I personally can't see voting for Horwath). What troubles me is that, as far as I can see, not one comment on here even mentions the financial state this province is in. It is a disgrace! I am not an economist...

The same could be said of SO many politicians. Far too many to name.

Please. "Traumatized the psyche of the city". You must be some kind of China Doll. Get over it. As for our "international reputation" I don't any such thing happened. Most places in this world have never heard of this city. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde "the only thing worse than being talked...

Are you now going to blame white men for the shootings in Jamaica as well?

At the risk of really putting my foot in my mouth as a privileged white male I have to ask what group of people may be the most persecuted group on the planet? I would say Jews. And despite that and especially considering the horrors of WWII they seem to thrive. Their success seems to be...

In no way am I now nor have ever been a member of Ford Nation. All my previous comments regarding Rob Ford related to respect for someone who died. I would have taken the same stance if ridiculously vulgar comments were made in reference to the death of someone regardless of my feelings for...

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't KWT the one most upset by the Sunday demolition of the existing structures and basically said that she'd do everything in her power to slow down/prevent the project going forward.

You mean like Oliva Chow?

I'm willing to bet you did no such thing. Maybe you meant to include the word "almost" otherwise you would have likely ended up on your ass or with an assault charge.

How can someone be called a "fat fuck" and somehow be portrayed as being mean? He didn't even notice the comment until it was pointed out to him. Even then I didn't think his reaction was out of line. Especially when it has been said by self righteous guy who writes for The Star. That...
