I say definitely less than 10 years. Unless the world's economy collapses then you can bet this entire area will be re-developed soon....

This is my understanding of the situation. Might also explain why debt was allowed to explode as it did over the years. It gave the illusion that people/governments had more wealth.

How many buildings does this make now? And it's all new buildings completed in the past year or so. Is this all coming from the same supplier?

The problem is that we have a political/business model based on the short term. The business model shouldn't be applied to certain types of services delivered through the government either.

I would love to see the annual budget for a single library and see the breakdown between staff salaries, expenses and revenues.

The police bungled the G20 and there are some disturbing cases being brought to light recently. I think the statement of Toronto's police force being the most corrupt and worse on the continent though is a bit over the top. People on this board really like to ratchet up the rhetoric at times...

Never going to happen. Considering the mess they made of the St Clair ROW, and I live in the area so I saw it first hand, I have zero confidence in the city/TTC doing this properly. Ever.

I was under the impression that only workers close to retiring or at retirement age were being offered buyout packages. A friend suggested recently that this is the best way to go to reducing the number of staff at city hall. Offer the packages then simply don't replace many of the workers as...

Not so sure about this. I have a friend that works at CAS and she's said that they see too many cases coming from the social housing complexes within the St Lawrence area....

What's strange is that Pinnacle's mechanical was never completed. Parts of the concrete are still uncovered and look obvious.

I think he honestly sees the 28k for advertising on the new trains as being a real waste of spending whereas the removal of the bike lanes is seen as necessary. Why do we need ads on the TTC about new trains that riders will see in action when taking the subway? Doesn't make any sense to me. The...

Which is what I found when watching. No real substance to their reports/discussion. They're basically just an anti-liberal channel. As for this double dip recession? Considering I don't think the US even climbed out of the last recession, I really think this is just them falling much further...

I tied to watch the new Sun News channel. Didn't like. They're basically coming off as a Fox News wannabe instead of being something different and fresh.

So true. But it's always the same types here that gang up in group bullying because they don't like your views/opinions, screaming the mantra of "intolerance won't be tolerated here".

We must destroy the grapes and rescue the city from this new invasion..... Death to grapes!!!!!!!!

Must be me. I love that spandrel and colour....

Have some noticed how certain people love to dish it out especially with what they think are clever put downs but then can't take it when the same is done to them?

Hilarious......... :cool:

Here we go again. Who said I didn't like this thread? I found it odd this fixation on Ford's barbecue. That's why I responded. Numerous posts on Ford's barbecue, which no one else cares about and what seemed to an attempt to put some negative spin on it and this reminded me of what NOW did...

Saw the glass today and it looked nice......
