Who is building that gigantic Queen Street Mental Hospital complex, then?
These guys?

As a public hospital, CAMH receives its operating funds from the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network (TC LHIN). Research grants and funds for special programs are received from the University of Toronto, Foundations and other granting and funding bodies.

MF isn't interested in equal comparisons, i-rui. That's for the little people, silly!
The cheapest way to serve patrons on the former LRT plan site would be to provide bicycles--that's an equal comparison. My point is that LRT only provides service for the little people at the expense of traffic. To me, its a non-starter unless it runs across an unused field somewhere. Wait--maybe we can run the LRT underground!

I never suggested I wanted anyone to rebuild it "all." I said that the next lefty who comes to power will feel the need to re-create from the ashes of destruction. It's my fervent hope that whatever Ford busts stays busted.

Created by the Ontario government in March 2006, LHINs are 14 not-for-profit corporations who work with local health providers and community members to determine the health service priorities of our regions. .... As LHINs, we oversee nearly two-thirds of the $37.9 billion health care budget in Ontario.

and I would image a lot of private enterprise money. The complex is a mix of public health care, commercial and residential space.
Does it not also result in closings of 33 Russel, Clark and some other facillities? After 150 years it needed a 'refresh'. It also does not mean this project will solve the problem of mental patients put out to the streets.

MF: Again with the little men schtick. It sounds like a complex you've been nurturing.
48 hours? You mustn't have been paying very close attention to my posts during the campaign; I offered my opinion long ago that Ford was a buffoon. I'm hoping he's a buffoon capable of learning something and eating humble pie; that remains to be seen. He has some time on his side and I'm content to wait and watch how he does. On the other hand, I am tickled that you are eagerly preparing to buy Ford a "small" halo - once again, your famed generosity of spirit shines like a beacon. I would expect no less from one who possesses the titanic force of will to restrain himself from pelting eggs at public officials holding high office. Huzzah for you, sir!
Presuming Ford wants to see mentally ill homeless people streamed into proper facilities, I wonder how he proposes to fund that. He doesn't strike me as the kind of man who wants to spend money on health care for the indigent and mentally ill - he just wants them out of sight because they're unpleasant and make him feel uncomfortable. So far the man is all about cutting funding, freezing funding, cutting zero services, taming those unions, making the city work but spending no extra funds while doing so. That's more than a few rabbits to pull out of the proverbial hat.
yeah the little man thing is pretty humorous. But it's generally what macfury resorts to when someone makes a point that has the chance to make sense. He certainly wouldn't want to wade into lest he fail.
8.15 to move an awful lot of people downtown, getting more cars OFF the road.
Why are you so excited about getting cars off the road? That's where they belong.
Oh, I get it--you forgot that Miller is no longer mayor!

Reduce the number of brilliants who drive solo downtown when they could take the transit, and help clear the smog and traffic congestion. Make it easier on the drivers who -need- to use a vehicle downtown.
It's amazing what you can think of when you consider the absolute obvious.
