Two blocks from each other on the same street (Palmerston). Remember: what is at stake here is if Emily Rose goes under and is converted to residential, going back is nigh impossible—a community amenity lost for good.

You used to be able to do this in Toronto; I've taken photos to prove it. But now you can't. So they're voting on it in commitee tomorrow. Sign the petition: change.org/FinchStoreTO

Work in progress!


This is nothing more than a stupid paper building and we’re losing a Dickinson for it. There is no plan to build this and I really wish UrbanToronto wouldn’t play into the ‘clicks’ game like some other local publications do.

Interior demolition is now actively underway at 55 Yonge Street, which will soon be torn down to make way for one of the city's most architecturally ambitious developments ever. urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/… #Toronto #architecture #construction #UTForum

Truly Canadian that the building now looks and functions better than ever and service (outside of GO) has never been worse.

Oct 10, 1975: the City of Toronto serves formal notice of its intention to designate @unionstationTO under the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation would have given the building far more protection than National Historic Site designation, which also occurred in 1975. 1/2

I fucking hate that the best we can do to fend off an incel fascist is Mark effing Carney...

Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico's "neoliberal period" is over, announcing a slew of new public works. Continuing AMLO's Fourth Transformation, Mexico is building passenger rail, highways, airports, 200K+ affordable homes, and more.https://t.co/foc31QwY5z



This is fucking 13 years old and I have absolutely no faith that anything will be done in my lifetime. Pretty fall far from a nation that was literally built on railroads. youtube.com/watch?v=W32klY…

Canada's entire political establishment is dedicated to telling us we can't have what Mexico is just. . . doing. Quickly, even.

What's up at Bloor & Dufferin? Long story short: lots! After The Well, it's the largest single-phase development project being constructed in Toronto right now and, after Westbank's Oakridge Centre in Vancouver, likely the country. So what *is* going on here?

Imagine thinking America has any future at all...

The high-speed railway bridge in Hangzhou Bay is under construction, with a length of 21km, and is expected to open next year.



HOW CAN YOU MAKE YOUR 'AUTOMATIC APPROVAL GARDEN SUITE' PRECEDENT SOMETHING YOU WOULD *ABSOLUTELY* NOT APPROVE IN A GENERAL APPLICATION CONTEXT? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE @CityPlanTO???

My @TorontoStar column: Critics said multiplexes were madness. It turns out they provide cheaper and larger places to live. (No major parking problems, either!) With the data they've got, council should have no doubt: sixplexes are the sensible move. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

New: Several well-placed sources, leaked documents and recordings of internal town halls detail how a bitter, years-long falling out with a European partner has led Metrolinx to scale back its ambitious GO Expansion plan. No paywall. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/the-trill…
