Jack Diamond is an Architect who gets hired by developers and in reality, not that often by ones that build condos. AG, I sort of agree with you in that many developers are snakes. The pythons of developers, are the ones pushing for casinos where they don't belong.

Politically, Thomson is nearly as conservative as Ford. Why is it that some Fordites think this a leftist consipiracy? Considering Ford's history of deny and lie, when confronted with a truth that might hurt is image, I'm inclined to believe Thomson.

Not to mention John Tory was going googoo gaga over the MGM plan on his radio show yesterday. What a bunch of snake oil salesmen.

Is the foundation for this tower already built or are they going to have to dig?

There hasn't been this much snow in one day in a few years, guessing the removal crews are out of practice.

How is the disappearance of a service that was in place for years, nonsense?

Had to shovel my 89 year mother's drive to see her this afternoon. She's in west Scarborough. They plowed her street and blocked her driveway. Under Miller, they would clear snow blocking drives with a smaller plow at the same time they plowed the street. They would also clear her sidewalk. I...

I like that. Rob Ford, the man with the moldy touch!

Native Affairs misspending pales in comparison to Harper's Government fiscal follies. G20 - $ billion+. F35s - $???. $50 million spend in Tony Clement's riding for sidewalks and gazebos, for wealthy cottagers. What's the difference between the governments massive mis-management of the public...

Agreed! Also, this notion that Ford is working hard for taxpayers by cutting, government, spending and taxes, is a myth. I don't know of anyone who is paying less taxes, since Ford became mayor. I'm paying a fair bit more than I saved with his VRT cut. Ford isn't working for taxpayers. He's...

1) Rob Ford stop taking credit for things he had nothing to do with. Like - the current building boom and the budget surpluses. 2) Rob Ford start taking responsibility for things he has everything to do with. Starting with telling the truth for a change and show even the slightiest hint of some...

Doug Ford just said that the Levee is not cancelled, just that it will be different this year. Invited guests only?

Must have been hard for him to meeting and greet the public, the day after he, tied one on, celebrating the New Year at his favourite watering hole. My guess for the levee cancellation - Ford hates mingling with strangers. He is extremely uncomfortable around the unknown and the levee is usually...

That explains why the Trump is dark most nights. The upper floors aren't lit at all!

Christopher Hume was way too kind to Ford in that article!

No need for parking. A recent TO Life article mentions that a good precentage of the units in RCMI have been purchased by Korean's for their children attending the U of T.

Hopefully this casino isn't approved. If it is, I would like the city to demand that the park and public spaces get built before the casino's operating license is granted. And that the park is nothing short of spectacular on all fronts.

I don't think there will be need for shovels to hit the ground. The foundation is built. This tower will go up very quickly. Especially if it's steel frame.

Steveve: Downtown Toronto has reached a density, that for the most part, these buildings will go un-noticed by the general public. Especially in the skyline. Just three of hundreds of new tall buildings. The skyline can't be destroyed, it can, as it has always, only grow.

It will be interesting what the Design Review Panel will do to this project. While I think that for the most part their recommendations do improve some projects, I get the sense that they don't particularly care for "showy" architecture. Can't help but think that with probably the largest Gehry...
