Another sovereigntist swing is brewing in Quebec and the conservatives will have to adapt to the political realities that a PQ majority is going to present. Carrots will be on the table. Simply put: I don't think it will be as easy as many here are speculating for the cons to shelve this...

Koolhaus is way out of the picture now. Jason Long runs most of the projects in North America, and this being a condo project I imagine there are not any senior partners involved at all. This is revenue generating filler for the firm as were their recent condos in Miami.

I am amazed how on-brand that letter is. Its like someone asked ChatGPT to come up with the most stereotypical NIMBY objection letter possible.

So what is the hold-up here? Why doesn't the Mayor just play realpolitik with Doug on this? "We agree to take out the bike lanes but you have to make a commitment on WELRT and EELRT"

The city could just go crazy on signing construction services contracts for all lanes that are at 100% design right now. If the province wants to cancel the city can just go on a PR frenzy highlighting how many millions are going to go down the drain.

Beautiful scale for this neighbourhood. Chinatown/Baldwin area needs a blanket rezoning

I want to see Abacus run this polling in Ontario. Though I can already predict support for bike lanes will look exactly like density maps of the GTA.

I have a feeling this is going to play out exactly like Ontario Place We are all going to wake up at some point in February or March to witness sole-sourced contractors from the Province removing curbs and repainting Bloor and Yonge and nobody is going to be notified ahead of time. Just in...

Again, this is such a juicy rumour that I simply cannot believe the media in this city would not be doing their best to at least get dead drops on emails/documents confirming this to be the case. Either a) there is little to no truth to the rumours (I.e. the errors are much more trivial than...

Just to note: store managers for chains in the US regularly clear six figures USD. Or look at manager salaries for gas stations like Bucees. You make more than a graduate software engineer in Toronto. Something is awfully rotten with Canadian business culture. A reluctance to invest in...

I haven’t seen much discussion about just how different the homeless problem is now than it was in the past. Fentanyl is the elephant in the room and until a) the supply can be significantly hampered OR b) we have a fully funded rehabilitation system with mandatory(!) treatment, people will...

"taxiway is too green" is silly There is a lack of heavily planted urban thoroughfares in Toronto. The last thing we need is to be limiting streets to a few saplings. Maybe the runway in future phases can be more of an open space but I don't see any particular value in keeping taxiways bleak...

Any idea how the Province's temper tantrum is going to effect the viability of this project going forward @Northern Light ? Are we looking at this project potentially being stalled once again?

Finally.

Ok this is nice

This is getting Goode

Pinnacle seems to have their CM down to an exact science. They move notably faster than others in the city.

Because its the Toronto thing to do. I hope they really meant this: https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/08/31/toronto-pearson-airport-expansion-construction-plan/ This is what JFK and ORD are doing in the next 10 years: (note the Studio Gang terminal for ORD was pushed back to phase 2, SOM...
