I'd like to try out that bibimbap. It's a bit weird to order a lobster roll, which is probably the most expensive single item in the food hall, and complain that it's expensive. Blue Claw even offers a compromise, which is a half shrimp/half lobster option if you want to save a few bucks.

It'll provide housing that's more affordable for people moving out of Toronto, but less affordable for people who have lived in Peterborough previously. Which is what has been happening everywhere any closer than Peterborough already.

The Path hasn't quite recovered to 100% of pre-pandemic lunchtime lineups, but I would say it's up to at least 80% from Tuesday-Thursday. I don't know if there's any data about how rents down there have changed in response to moving from a 5 day a week economy to a 3.5 day a week economy...

A "fusion of Mediterranean and Asian flavours", brought to you by Shoeless Joe's pubs.

I was mostly joking about how the CEOs (and much of the public, when it comes to federal government workers) think that people working remotely aren't actually working if they're not in the office. Big transit infrastructure is really good for filling the office towers around union station and...

Especially with people only working 2-3 days a week these days.

He's had the best biryani in the city since I moved here in 2001, in different locations. I used to live close to his Spice Indian Bistro on Sherbourne and it was fantastic, but didn't survive the pandemic...

Was this a reporter from a reputable outlet? Or was it a "reporter" like the ones from Rebel whose only goal is to go viral with some stupid clip, in which case even this smack-down is a win for them.

I wonder what the price to rent ratio is for a unit like that? Just doing back of the napkin math, if you had $589,000 lying around and wanted to make an 8% return on it, you'd need to rent it out for almost $4,000 plus property taxes and condo fees. Realistically you're probably making more...

The school, of course, is not built and the land is frozen until the Ontario Line is finished. We made good use of Front St when our kid was a toddler. It's a nice place to learn to scoot and bike because of the vast empty space where you won't run into other people, there's a splash pad that...

And if they asked you to come in for an interview and you told them to fuck off, you’d be fired immediately. But if the cops asked to interview you and you told them to fuck off, the cops couldn’t use your refusal to talk as evidence against you in a criminal proceeding. Other than the fact...

To be fair, nobody is obligated to give the police an interview if they're suspected of a crime. But they should be incentivized to do it voluntarily by being fired if they don't.

Anyone want to place bets on whether the bus will be faster than the walking-speed streetcar?

Yes, Go Transit is critical to getting people into the towers downtown for sure. I work in one and I'd say over 50% of my colleagues take Go to work. The CEO of RBC has been outspoken on getting people back in the office. The reality for the banks these days, though, is that if one of them...

I just checked, and two of the judges were appointed by Trudeau and one by Harper. Which any lawyer (as pointed out by Snoot above) knows does not matter in the Canadian context as judges are well regarded as being independent of politics in their decision-making.

Justin Trudeau picks the judges for the Ontario Superior Court. Ford appoints members of the advisory committee for Ontario provincial court judges, but they don't sit on the Divisional Court.

OK, but your comment was about this case, which is why everybody called it out.

Also, there are tons of people downtown from Tuesday to Thursday. If the landlords in the towers still think they can charge rents based on five days a week of full office occupancy downtown, that's never going to happen again. There is plenty of foot traffic to support viable retail/food...

As always, it comes down to housing. Toronto is zoned so it's practically impossible to live a reasonable commuting distance from downtown (which also has to do with the TTC and road construction, but they're not the main culprits) unless you bought in/rented a while ago. The quickest fix if...

That looks delectable.
