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

    Commercial tenancy contracts are air tight. There is no room for delays. CIBC has an expectation to be moving in from July 2020 - building has to be ready!

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

    Of course it's not finishing :) The train station itself (where trains go) is DOA. Either RER changes (or disappears) or another cool billion will need to be spent to make the station functional for RER. We live in a fantastic city.

    Bloor-Yorkville Scene

    This is very nice. It maintains the Victorians that make Yorkville tick - but modernizes them for 21st century high end retail. I'd love to see more of this. And ya, Yorkville Ave. is turning into quite the high street. It gives all these high end brands street presence on both Bloor and...

    2018 Municipal Election: Toronto Council Races

    This is pretty awesome... Nice.

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

    Madrid makes everyone's infrastructure look crappy - including Germany's. The Spaniards truly took advantage of the EU's accession funds. Instead of blowing it on pensions and other non-value adding activities (such as what the Eastern Euro members did); Madrid overwhelmingly spent it on hard...

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

    Madrid has something similar. Beneath Plaza del Oriente (the square in front of the Opera House/Palace) there is a massive underground parking and tourist bus terminal. This complex is directly linked to the city's underground ring road that eventually emerges somewhere in the desert and...

    Toronto Municipal Election 2018: Mayor’s Race

    I didn’t think I needed to clarify eastern Gardiner. That was never the discussion. The amount of traffic on the eastern Gardiner would need to be accommodated by a 10 lane road. Anything less would cause traffic jams for miles. That’s a connection between two major highways. The only way in...

    Toronto Municipal Election 2018: Mayor’s Race

    Now she wants to tear down the Gardiner. Man she can’t help herself!

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    This is surprisingly the best marijuana policy in the entire country. I am impressed. No nonsense, fair, encourages competition and small scale entrepreneurism - nice.

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Those 95% identifying as Czech is all that matters. Their genetic makeup is not part of this conversation. Nations and states are human constructs. One feels Canadian. One isn’t Canadian genetically. Neither is anyone in Europe. It’s a continent of mutts. But the feeling of being part of a...

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Lol. Altruistic - I appreciate that. Like communists before - you are making a mistake in introducing an ideology that while great on paper is incompatible with human nature. Humans are innately tribal. We are innately attracted to groups like us. There is nothing wrong with that. But if...

    If you don't mind - please explain how the fall of globalism will lead to Nazis v2.0

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Clever to invoke Godwin's law, but you're wrong. This isn't about fascism, or racial superiority, or any of that garbage - but about rejecting a supranational agenda in favour of agendas driven by the nation states - something that is probably going to cause the end of the EU in the next few...

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    I believe in strong national identities - because that's what makes the world more interesting. Globalism seeks to erase these differences over time - it's supranational assimilation - a word Canadians usually get all upset over.

    Toronto Rental Cost (& AirBnB) Issues

    Exactly why I would never rent out my property. Well summarized. Especially the money grab when you sell - I felt that one first hand.

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    I don't have to - you're either for it or against it, globalism is polarizing - and is primarily the reason why there's a surge in populism in Europe specifically. Globalism can be incompatible with nation states - and that's what Europeans are finding out.

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    It's true - but I am in love with his death to globalism tirade. Globalism is a cancer that must be cured.

    Laundry In Apartment Blocks

    It's also called a condensation dryer from what I know... It basically just tumbles the wet clothes around and any moisture/condensation is collected in water containers you have to empty. Look at it as a dehumidifier for your clothes! Problem is, it doesn't dry - your clothes just end up...
