I see no evidence of a reading comprehension issue. Based on what you said in your post, it's reasonable to speculate that you can't handle listening to opposing POVs, snowflake.

This project, the Queen & Ashbridge development, has Teeple as the architect of record. The landscape architect is Public City out of Winnipeg (with an office in Toronto).

Let's not be so obsessed with continuous street walls in this city. Street-level retail isn't the only way to animate the street. Tucking in the occasional front courtyard / parkette or side walkway/lane enriches the pedestrian experience with the street and its landscaping.

On a trip to Paris I noticed so many pockets of modest green space on the Left Bank that are tucked in next to, or in-between buildings, & none of them took away from the pedestrian's street level experience. On the contrary, these little surprises off the beaten path / sidewalk enhance it! (2/2)

Does the City have a design bias for continuous built form to define streets, etc.? If so, then this necessarily limits landscaping to narrow ribbons of space that end up conflicting with the realities of city life. (1/2)

And who are the landscape architects that are content to be associated with this level of mediocrity? Seems like they're just mailing it in.

Or two things can be true at the same time?

Because I'm tired of the moral hazard... my taxes going to pay for universal health care for these f%cking morons to go out and do stupid things.

Agreed. Then let's enforce the ban. And introduce health insurance co-pay, so anyone who engages in hazardous activity has to have skin in the game.

Thanks to @shawnmicallef.bsky.social for a much more optimistic look at e-scooters…The Star has not been kind to us in the past…lots of good stuff in here, but we just want to highlight a few things that we think would help steer the debate 🧵 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Shawn Micallef: E-scooters are here to stay. It’s time for Toronto to act boldly

Currently Toronto’s position is, officially, “e-scooters are not permitted to be operated on public roads, sidewalks or paths,” yet it's easy to see people using them everyday, and they are

Thanks for sharing your perspective.

For sure...
- climate action is way overdone (read Lomborg);
- Bluesky is overrun with sock puppets parroting Lib talking points; and
- the biggest and most dangerous monopoly - the federal government - just keeps on getting bigger, crowding out private enterprise

Oh, Canada...

Today is the 10th anniversary of Justin's historic federal election victory.

To all of you out there lamenting Canada's decline over the past decade: don't you realize how much worse off you'd be without the Liberals' "sunny ways"?!?!?!?

Oh, um, hang on a second...

Question for everyone seemingly infuriated by this meme 👇:

Is it just feigned outrage, or do y'all have the temperament of a 10yr old girl?

The Dems scream,
"NO KINGS!!!!! Except when we allude to King Arthur by calling Dem JFK's presidency 'Camelot.' Then it's ok."

One can argue that humour is consistent with the founding American principle of "pursuit of happiness".

It's a shame that folks cannot see the humour in a meme of a monarch with such absolute power that he can't even end the 18-day long US government shutdown.
