Agreed. Something like Rushden Station would really help break up the monotony of blue and grey tones in the area.

Could there ever be a scenario where a developer gains permission to build at their original proposed height, but as part of their condo agreement, residents must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement where they can't disclose the activities of the facility, including using video and photography? Is...

LCBO revenue drops below $2B for 1st time in a decade after alcohol liberalization https://globalnews.ca/news/11514462/lcbo-revenue-dropping/

Hypothetically, what would the price tag befor a "trophy-level" East Harbour Station? Double the current cost?

I'm fine with the scale, but that is a very cold and oppressive looking building, especially on the edge of a very cute, prototypical Ontario Main Street. I hope they go back to the drawing board and consider red brick to match the local heritage vernacular.

That's my read on it, too, as I suspect Perks and Chow's allies know they don't have the votes on council. Even the more moderate suburban councillors like Kandavel and Ainslie came out swinging against the proposal.

He wasn't smoking crack, but I did see then-Councillor Doug Ford smoking darts by a City Hall fire exit in 2011.

Wonderful choice of building. Are you able to share some lobby shots once moved-in?

TTC forbids election campaigning on their property, but there is nothing stopping a mayor from using TTC property to host a constituency or outreach event. Note that the mayor and councillors are allowed to use their campaign colours while in office, as long as it isn't used for electioneering...

Wow, she's coming down fast!
