Why after 3 constructions seasons are renovations at Nathan Philip Square in Toronto still not complete? I walk by the site daily and there are weeks during the summer where no work is happening. Then out of nowhere they start up again. The half assed reno is a disgrace to the city.
Our new Mayor John Tory is upset about cost overruns on the Queens Quay project. The reasons for the increased costs seem reasonable, ageing infrastructure and water intrusion on reclaimed land.The project when finished will be a spectacular addition to the city. Another mayor with no vision, pinching pennies instead of building a great city.
I'm also looking forward to the remaking of John Street which will be my new neighbourhood in a couple of years. The approval of the Mirvish-Gehry project will also be a great addition to the area.
Has Canada ever had a bigger asshole as Prime Minister than Stephen Harper? His refusal to meet with Premier Wynne is a pathetic, petulant schoolboy tactic. A physically weak, petty man who talks a big game and fails to deliver. Cuts military spending, services to veterans and talks like he is the armed forces best friend. It is not a surprise to me that he and most of his cabinet never served in the military because most would not have been physically capable of finishing basic training.
Helmet head Harper looks like singer Bobby Goldsboro from the 1970's. Look it up.
I just read that the Canadian Navy has dropped duty free booze from warships. The 50 cent beers and 55 cent packs of smokes were the biggest perks of the Navy. All over a few sailors getting out of hand on shore leave in San Diego. I'm not sure how cheap beer on ships at sea will have any effect on shore leave antics? I don't see much of a connection and I lived the lifestyle for 4-years. I know this will take a big hit on morale for sailors at sea.
