    Evocative Images of Lost Toronto

    My dad first joined the Queen's Own Rifles. Later on, I remember going to the Armories in the 50's with my parents down by Exhibition Park where the Mess was.

    Keir Starmer's United Kingdom

    All the heat and humidity must be making a mess of Johnson's coiffure.

    University Avenue (History and Future Redesign)

    Is the northern part more or less free from future construction considerations ?

    The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

    I trust what they do and that's why I don't go there.

    President Joe Biden's United States of America

    Sorry, I'm not trying to be evasive, but I did say " ethical right to be on the Supreme court ". There's a difference between ethical and legal.

    Are you kidding ?

    President Joe Biden's United States of America

    This man has no ethical right to be on the Supreme Court with the revelations of what his wife has done to promote the election fraud lies of Trump and the helotry. This ruling could be the one big thing for Americans to get the the ship righted. People need to vote this phony GOP out.

    Toronto East Harbour | 214.2m | 65s | Cadillac Fairview | Adamson

    Is it because so much construction build is condominium and there isn't as much leverage as in commercial development where there is a reason to add signature value, the opposite of value engineering. The corollary in Toronto's case in terms of quality to "a rising tide raises all boats", might...

    President Joe Biden's United States of America

    This does not appear to represent the wishes of the majority of people in the US. You ask yourself how long this form of tyranny can last - another reason to stay away from that unfortunate country.

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Ya, but it's tall greenery ( and cheap ). Born in Toronto, I was always interested in the energy of the place and its alleged dynamic future, epitomized by the 60's architecture of the downtown starting with the black TD towers. I can only say it's depressing to see formulaic high rises going up...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    It 's going to make the surrounding plateau of buildings even more bland, if that's possible.

    2022 43rd Ontario general election (June 2, 2022)

    Well, can we say the so-called tyranny of the masses is caput in Ontario ? We can speculate where those absent votes might have gone, but the fact remains that a quite small percentage of eligible voters propelled us into a significant majority government which represents another sort of...

    2022 43rd Ontario general election (June 2, 2022)

    And will the PCs be in the least chastened by these percentages ? I guess we're about to see. I'm preparing to be appalled.

    2022 43rd Ontario general election (June 2, 2022)

    And what does that say about the population at large ? Everyone adheres to the tyranny they're comfortable with, which includes our own high-sounding democratic form of government. We're eminently manageable.

    I wonder what it will look like from this angle.

    2022 43rd Ontario general election (June 2, 2022)

    2016 for Trump, not so much of this thinking now, I think. Large numbers, around 38% still support the PC's according to the latest polls I've read, and it seems pretty rock solid mirroring last provincial election. So, a minority of the people of Ontario elects a majority again.

    Toronto College Park Revitalization with Barbara Ann Scott Skate Trail | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | RAW Design

    The last great " freedom" to some, I suppose - My dog (or cat) likes to roam free. Forget there are bylaws in places to stop this, but find a bylaw officer to enforce this. Since when did, " don't tell me what to do " become the final word ?

    2022 43rd Ontario general election (June 2, 2022)

    If only. I've spoken with life-long, " intelligent" Conservatives who agree with all the evident shortcomings of the Ford cabal, yet still support the PCs... reminds me a bit of the Trump apologists who said there are a lot of nice people who support him. Give him a chance and he will grow into...

    2022 43rd Ontario general election (June 2, 2022)

    I did the same, however my 40ish son and his wife who live in an eastern Ontario riding are so disappointed they said they aren't voting, ignoring my pleas to vote. I don't know how widespread the feeling is amongst this demographic, but if there are young people you know who are exhausted and...

    2022 43rd Ontario general election (June 2, 2022)

    If you believe the polls, the PCs have a little more than a third of popular support, with the possibility of forming a majority government. I'm not sure what the concept of " left " means anymore other than in the black and white world of the Tories. They are defining a world that most people...
