It's been suspiciously quiet after they created that National Post article in which he stated that everyone got free blinds.

This is normal, folks. Proxies carry the election. It's a question of how those proxies were directed to be used. I think John and Manfred will do an excellent job for us. I have a feeling that they will both be very approachable and ready to listen to our concerns. To his credit, Hessam...

It's perfectly fine to ask for people's proxy. I can print up letters and provide envelopes as required. We do have a danger that there will not be quorum for the initial meeting if not enough owners and proxies are available.

Hello all: I am surmising that the owner-occupied position would be filled that way with the first owner who stands for it. Typically the way it happens. In so far as the proxies are concerned - yes - they do swing the vote. It's been that way in the last two condos I have owned and I...

I would like to see Roseanne out - she has been extraordinarily unpleasant and unprofessional. She is owned by the builder 100%.

Hi BChan: Unfortunately, the builder would be on record as the owner of your suite until it has been transferred to you on May 2nd. I dunno how the rules will be enforced for attendees - typically a spouse or a life-partner would be allowed to attend as an interested party. You might be...

Hello All: A couple of things in regards to the turnover meeting and proxies. 1. Quorum has to be reached. It is determined by the number of owners present and voting and the number of proxies that are held. 2. Proxies usually swing the vote at any condo meeting as most people...

I have smooth ceilings in my unit. I bought the showroom suite. The way in which the article heaps praise on the builder for changing the area is amusing. We have Verve beside us and James Cooper Mansion just up the street - I think they affected the attractiveness of the area, as well as the...

Nice. Hope to see you at the turnover meeting, especially to elect you to the board.

Yes, I hope once we see the legalese that has been written, we can get our lawyers to write up the same. Worst came to worst, I will have Jane Harvey to do it. Per the blinds, if you search on the internet, you may find some tips on fixing the blinds that don't roll up properly. Have a look...

@Shelfun...can you share the letter when yu get it. I am waiting to get a letter from my lawyer to respond to the demand letter and invoice.

Hello all: In regards to the blinds, it seems if the blinds were installed in the unit at the time of the sale, they would be considered a fixture. Unless specifically excluded in the sales agreement, they would be considered a part of the condo unit to be conveyed at no extra cost. This...

Perfect....you may want to chase the proxy vote.....many condo elections are based on proxy votes. You'll have my vote.

Hi: I also received the demand letter re: the blinds. With a 25% discount. I have asked my lawyer to reply tot heir demand letter. They can not can the agreement of purchase and sale after the fact. The blinds were installed in my unit at the time I saw it and at the time that I purchased...

Excellent. Whisper to me at some time when you're moving in and I will see if I can't be neighbourly and bring over some house warming cake.

No blinds cost on my closing today. The lawyer's assistant said, "No, they can't change the sales agreement like that". I asked her about the GST rebate - you are entitled to that if you bought before June 30, 2010. If so, you should have filled out an application for the rebate. As far as I...

I think we should look into this "free" Metropass that we have all paid for. A call to City Hall should get the info if the builder was made to buy them or not. We are entitled to these if they were bought. That's about 1/2 of the blinds "cost" that was demanded. I don't see any interest or...

I firmly agree, this area is good and getting better. The issue with the fire alarm is annoying and the blinds issue is a pisser, but these things will pass.

It does "silence" it much, LOL, at least on the 6th floor.

Anyone else enjoying the fire alarm? This is avery loud fire alarm and there seems to be loads of crashing in the hallway for some reason. I had thought Mississauga fire service were awful slow and bad at resolving it, this is worse!
