After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan.
More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded.
These 158 didn't make it home.
And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.
In Toronto we had the expansion Raptors at the Skydome for a few seasons before their current home was built. They packed in more than 36,000 to watch the Raptors beat the ‘96 Bulls!
San Nicola Stadium in Bari, Italy has similar segmented grandstands for its upper bowl, but with a conventional continuous lower bowl below grade.
I’m currently visiting Barcelona. They’ve pedestrianized two blocks of the street that leads to Mercat de Sant Antoni, one of their many public markets. Took a stroll down there today and it’s really lovely. Kids playing in the street, businesses thriving.
Only good thing about the past few hours: Canadians are taking their flag back from the fringe who thought they could make it a symbol for their small and backward ideas.
Cover of a CN Turbo Train brochure from the late 60s/early 70s. This is one of the most iconic pieces of CN graphic design from the 60s and 70s. The background is turquoise, the turbo train is displayed as a simple red and white illustration, with the CN logo in black. The limited text at the top is in white, all lowercase Helvetica.
One of the interior pages of a CN Turbo Train brochure from the late 60s/early 70s. The turquoise background remains with a photo of a stylish young women enjoying one of the first class meals. The limited text is white Helvetica. In the early days of Turbo (just before and just after it launched) there was a strong use of sex appeal, youth, sophistication and money used to promote the service. The “experience” of the exclusive service was just as important (if not more-so) than the speed of it.
Copenhagen
The anglosphere can’t comprehend:
“This low-cost, low-maintenance approach helped construction costs come in at €950 per square meter (about $92 per square foot), almost half the national average of €1,700 per square meter (around $165 per square foot).”
Vince Carter lived there!
I stand corrected! SASP 264 protects views to *and* from the escarpment.
I did a bit of due diligence on this site when it was on the market a few years ago. IIRC, there’s policy that limits height south of Davenport to protect the prominence of the Lake Iroquois escarpment. Nothing about protecting views *from* the escarpment.
Oh nice! I saw that in the program
and was intrigued. I’ll check it out!
The Master Plan left me in stitches. Incredibly thoughtful and so, so funny. Playing until January 5th!
When you want to deliver family-*sized* units but also keep DC’s low.
This is an absolutely fantastic video: How Housing Delivery Stacks Up (And Why Restoring Affordability Is No Simple Task)
It makes a really important point: Driving down costs is particularly important if we want more non-profit and social housing.

I moved from ON to QC because of the affordability problem in Toronto. An interesting thing I’ve learned is that there generally aren’t DCs here in Québec. Shockingly housing is more affordable here. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/au...
The Library seems on brand for Dan Snaith.
I was at the show too. Loved it!
Interior photograph of Massey Hall, Toronto, from the balcony looking towards the stage.
Probably the best place on earth.
