    2018 Ontario PC Leadership Race

    This is shaping up to be the most exciting provincial election, ever. For better or for worse.

    2018 Ontario PC Leadership Race

    Unfortunately "Anyone-but-Ford-or-Wynne" is not an option. A vote for the ONDP in a Liberal held riding is a vote for Ford.

    2018 Ontario PC Leadership Race

    "Virtual tie" between Ford and Elliot according to Newstalk1010

    This is getting my hopes up about a certain former civil servant running for municipal office...

    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    Is that a sure thing? I hadn't heard any "reliable" rumours.

    Is David Miller planning a comeback?

    But now he's the North America director for C40 Cities. Doesn't seem like he left to initiate a mayoral bid.

    Toronto Parliament & Co | 41.45m | 11s | Downing Street | Kohn

    Perfect scale and materiality for the neighbourhood.

    Toronto The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Fingers crossed that the glazing turns out more smokey-hued (like the renders) rather than bluegreygreen.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Deliberately using Trumpisms :rolleyes: .... I don't think this is going to get him very far outside of the inner suburbs of the 416.

    Toronto Regent Park: Daniels Artworks Tower | 105.76m | 33s | Daniels | BDP Quadrangle

    Certainly not bad by any means. Daniels is doing a great job. I'm just glad to see some of that colour go skyward (not counting the white towers at 1PP, which are wonderful but not particularly colourful).

    Toronto Regent Park: Daniels Artworks Tower | 105.76m | 33s | Daniels | BDP Quadrangle

    "Tower" was the key word. Not podium, or midrise.

    Toronto Regent Park: Daniels Artworks Tower | 105.76m | 33s | Daniels | BDP Quadrangle

    Yes! Finally some colour in a new Regent Park tower. Love the diamond details in the brick.

    Toronto Maverick | 154.53m | 49s | Empire | Arcadis

    On my last visit, I was actually quite enheartened to see that New York was filled with mediocre condo boxes quite similar to our own. It's just that they also have a huge market for luxury units, so they get some spectacular architecture along with the banal.

    Toronto 88 North (88 Queen East) | 90.52m | 27s | St Thomas Dev | Arcadis

    Woah!!! This is flying by. I guess that's what happens when there are only 2 levels of parking... another reason the City should relax parking minimums.

    Toronto 321 Davenport | 36.4m | 9s | Alterra | Giannone Petricone

    Everyone's trying to get in before the LPAT comes into effect.

    Toronto The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    The height is nowhere near final. It could be 10 storeys shorter, or 20 storeys higher. And keep in mind, commercial storeys are taller than residential ones. Unless the building backs onto a ravine or a Victorian neighbourhood with heritage protection, never buy a Toronto condo for the view.

    Toronto The Selby | 165.5m | 50s | Tricon | bKL Architecture

    It's actually quite slim if you shift the angle 90 degrees. If anything is going to overwhelm the skyline, I'm glad it's this one.

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Not that she had the ability to call any shots as a bureaucrat, but I think city planning's support of the Scarborough subway extension under her watch says otherwise. Tory is the epitome of "elite" (and actually lives downtown), so in a head to head match, I'm not sure that she's going to be...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    No. People actually know who she is. She also has a heaping dose of charisma, something Socknacki sadly lacked.

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    This video is especially entertaining knowing that he deliberately changed his name from George to Giorgio.
