    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    East Harbour will be built in some far off future. Before 2050 - fat chance. There is absolutely no business case for 11 million square feet at that location. Case in point is the struggling midtown corridor (Yonge/Bloor), even though it's centrally located at the intersection of our only two...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    It's more the 'staring at bolts, looking clueless' part - pretty much a great summary of Metrolinx project management for the past decade.

    Ah.. So Metrolinx is running the show down there...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Nothing says modern like low level boarding and a platform the width of someone lying down.

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Mostly in line is very generous when comparing it to modern terminals in Europe/Asia. This will be 'mostly' acceptable from a North American perspective - but still about 50 years behind modern European/Asian terminals. Narrow platforms, narrow stairwells, a dingy shed.. Not very modern.

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    At the end of the day this is a democracy and the people are clearly uninterested in these things... Keesmaat's electoral spanking was probably a good indication that the vast majority of Toronto values keeping their taxes low and commensurate, but measured investments where required. I know...

    Toronto St Bruno/St Raymond Catholic School | 11.2m | 3s | TCDSB | Kohn Shnier

    Because that's the point of this board? Guess we should shut down UT because random people on the internet shouldn't be asked anything.

    Toronto St Bruno/St Raymond Catholic School | 11.2m | 3s | TCDSB | Kohn Shnier

    So why quote my post and offer an article about recent funding cuts to education? What does that have to do with the continued build of new Catholic schools vs. public schools that are not getting the same amount of funding? Get the Vatican to pay for it.

    Toronto St Bruno/St Raymond Catholic School | 11.2m | 3s | TCDSB | Kohn Shnier

    I'm afraid that didn't answer my question. TCDSB/TDSB are funded from the same provincial government, so....?

    Toronto St Bruno/St Raymond Catholic School | 11.2m | 3s | TCDSB | Kohn Shnier

    Public schools are bursting at the seams yet I only seem to see Catholic schools getting built?

    Ontario Line North of Eglinton (was Relief Line North) (Speculation)

    Because the TTC's head has been too big for its body from about 1970-onwards and the 'experts' working in that institution think they have all the answers. Half of their problems can be fixed by heading down the 401 and checking out Montreal.. The other half by flying to any mid sized European...

    Does Faith Goldy et al have a point???

    Yup.. the hypocrisy is... frankly disgusting.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Their salaries are in line with ours - just spread over the working months. It’s not like they’re missing two months of pay in the overall scheme of things. Annually they’re getting well in the high 5 figures. Don’t provide me teacher union propaganda to change my opinion. Based on first hand...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Seriously.. I'm reading this thread and shaking my head... I have a parent, a friend, and relatives who are public school teachers. I only WISH I had their gig. Yes, there's prep work involved, but it's nothing more than 2-3h on a Sunday, or a week and a half prior to the school year...

    Toronto Westlake Encore | 146.3m | 45s | Onni Group | P + S / IBI

    Seems to be something of a missed opportunity based on the building permit description: Mechanical(MS) Status: Issuance Pending Location: 8 PARK LAWN RD TORONTO ON Ward 6: Etobicoke-Lakeshore Application#: 18 233015 HVA 00 MS Accepted Date: Sep 28, 2018 Project: Multiple Unit Building Work...
