Oh you smug Mississaugans with your international competitions and your surface LRT plans.It's no Marilyn, but it's good enough for Toronto.
That said, I really do like it.

I think the 'Marilyn' looks great where it is in Mississauga, however I think it would look silly in downtown Toronto.

I think it would look incredible. Imagine the beautiful curves of the Met coming off Carlton Street but intensified. I would want the towers in a denser part of downtown though, to contrast with a boxy streetwall. But I have to admit, the fact that there is space around them in MCC is also what makes them so successful as sculptures.

it'd be cool if it sat on a little man made island in the harbour!
Then the residents would think they were living somewhere in Dubai..lol

He says....where we are looking forward to construction starting in March; Strange that he is still looking, could be April maybe May or even June, who knows, hopefully sometime in 2011.

Do you understand what the phrase "looking forward to" means?

I agree with Automation that "looking forward to" is a more hedged statement than 'expecting'.
Not that we need to be dissecting everyone's comments as though they were the Federal Reserve Chairman.

I disagree. "Expecting" is just as uncertain.
