We don't want the same thing that happened in Colombia to happen here. Research People!!!!

Context CBCNews. Context is vital. A public report by TO city staff suggested these numbers based on an in-depth study. CBCNews you're letting people down when you don’t give the full story. Pulling for John Tory are you? Partisan much these days?

Guys remember each year the city closes down the highway for the cancer bike ride and the rest of the city becomes gridlocked and that's happening on a weekend when few people are actually going to work this gridlock will be much worst once the Gardner is demolished

I guess with the ON line and all the other construction we may as well make it actually impossible for cars to go anywhere. And with transit being what it is that means everybody is stuck. So how do we get to work ?

whoopee! 8,000 new homes that still won't be affordable.

Good, the Gardiner was never built for people who live in Toronto anyways

Did he say which of his friends are going to build these homes?
