    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Karla Ford's grandparents probably persecuted the jews, and Doug just got that confused.

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside | 158m | 49s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    I would not be complaining about greasy burger stalls if there was a Shake Shack in the western beaches instead of a Pizza Pizza and "Royal Burger". (The Sunnyside Café, closed this year for renos, is a bit better option).

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside | 158m | 49s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    I don't think the problem is so much the lack of good tourist areas but instead the lack of any remotely decent food at most of our public squares/parks. Instead of granting monopolies to various lousy food service providers, there should be great food stalls/restaurants at Centre Island/High...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Do we have any idea whether these designs contemplate any balconies? It's a bit tough to tell but doesn't look like it. I hope there are no balconies.

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Why do they only refer to it as a GO bus terminal? Is the Dundas terminal not getting moved here as well?

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I guess the upside to the colour scheme and overall appearance of these trains is that visitors new to the city will look at them and assume we've had an airport express since the 70s.

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    Porter Airlines has always been for sale. Not even retail investors would buy it in 2010.

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    How can Porter have rights to sell that go beyond the term of the Tripartite Agreement?

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    Any finance gurus on here who can say what sort of annual cash flows a pension plan would need from this airport to justify paying $500 million for a 19-20 year concession?

    Toronto June Callwood Park | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | gh3

    Once the trees have had 50 years to grow and the jugglers and kids with pink balloons show up, the renders will be bang on.

    Toronto The Berczy | 41.76m | 13s | Concert | Arcadis

    Those people would be right. Right next to the HoJos. Context!

    http://www.torontoport.com/About-TPA/Media-Room/Press-Releases/Public-Notice--Toronto-Port-Authority’s-2014-Annua.aspx TPA AGM is on Sept 3. Of particular note, looking at the financials and MD&A, passenger numbers completely flatlined in 2013 over 2012.

    Toronto Mirabella Condominiums | 120m | 38s | Mirabella Dev Corp | Scott Shields

    So, if I have this right, the towers will be shorter and fatter with more above-ground parking. Good work City!

    Toronto Theatre Park | 156.96m | 47s | Lamb Dev Corp | a—A

    I'm curious who would make the decision on the colour of glass here. The architect or the developer? The best two Clewes projects in the city, this and Waterlink, are being seriously undermined (in my subjective opinion) by the choice of seafoam glass. While that may have been an economic choice...

    If Mirvish thinks he has too many theaters he shouldn't have cut Dancap out of buying Pantages. We could have more theatre competition in this town if Mirvish hadn't exercised his muscle on that one, and now he says he has too many theatres?

    Toronto King Portland Centre and Kingly Condos | 57.6m | 15s | Allied | Hariri Pontarini

    The brick in and of itself is fine but the white makes me see Berczy 2.0. Meanwhile the original Context proposal was so much better. (yes, yes, i know, we get office)

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    The DRP wants to put cars in this thing. It is a "superblock" because there are no vehicular roads just pedestrian walkways. God help us.

    Porter IPO was 2010. Your guess is correct. Ownership structure was set out then, which is public and online, unless it has changed.

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    This seems to be prevalent view, which Hipster Duck was disputing. In the absence of Porter financials it is pure speculation. If Porter is successful then perhaps the expansion makes sense, but if Porter fails, why would AC or WJ transfer service here from Pearson and cannibalize their...
