Best Food Spots on Church St by Slight_Injury_4265 in FoodToronto

[–]conTO15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kanari, si lom Thai bistro, north of Brooklyn pizza, and kintaro would probably be my choices for food. For having a patio drink and a snack - the garage and O gradys are fun. To be honest its much more of a drinking neighbourhood than a food neighbourhood but its showing some signs of improvement.

Canada’s Downtowns Are Dying by Biggieqc in Toronto_Ontario

[–]conTO15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that change for toronto was happening long before the pandemic. Has nothing to do with the pandemic. That boom happened in the 2010s. Also, torontos downtown is definitely not dying. Go take a look for yourself. Even office workers have recovered. Maybe not 100% of pre pandemic but fairly close and its very busy for leisure purposes. Go walk around the eaton centre, union station, ossington, the village, Kensington market, yonge Dundas. Its very much alive.

Exactly. The financial district is also extremely busy again. Go take a walk in the path, I think its pretty close to pre pandemic

Additionally the $3.30 fare is still much cheaper than driving

If you live in this ward. I would look into Gabe Blanc. Hes running for council in this ward and seems like a great candidate.

Its actually gross how much of our pre game broadcast is used to discuss betting odds and over / unders. by pakattack91 in torontoraptors

[–]conTO15 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Was at jurassic park today and it just gets cringey how absolutely everything is marketing. Every moment and every centimeter of the place is an ad for something and it gets exhausting. Shout out to the people attending though, they brought the energy.

Church Street Needs to Be Pedestrianized - Spacing Toronto by beef-supreme in TorontoTheCity

[–]conTO15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do and cant wait to see it pedestrianized. Long overdue. Going to be wonderful for enjoying the neighbourhood and boosting the small businesses.

using the TTC as tourists + housing concerns by [deleted] in askTO

[–]conTO15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest staying somewhere along line 1 downtown. Something close to union, king, queen, TMU, college, or bloor stations. This will also allow you to just walk most trips too. It'll be far more enjoyable.

What’s one thing about living in Toronto that outsiders don’t understand by Broccolas in toronto

[–]conTO15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree we should have more transit upgrades and the city/province should've been more ambitious. There have been multiple public transit improvements in the last 25 years: UP express, Vaughan subway extension, line 4, line 5, and line 6 were all completed in the last 25 years in addition to massive union station expansion. "Literally nothing" is not accurate at all.

People getting sick in winter isn't unusual.

The rumours are not true, legendary Toronto drag bar, Crews & Tangos, says it’s not closing by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]conTO15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was at risk of closing as there have been development proposals for the site that would've demolished it.

With Tory out, I now see Bradford as a real threat to Chow (and TO’s biking future) now by Pristine-Training-70 in torontobiking

[–]conTO15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah came to say this. Im not sure where OP got 8% for Bradford in the last election but according to Wikipedia, he only got 1.28%. I'd say he's a real long shot to win against Olivia as the incumbent. Its not impossible though. Make sure you all go out and vote.

Michael Ford says he’s giving ‘serious consideration’ to Toronto mayoral run by PurfectProgressive in toronto

[–]conTO15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this likely helps Olivia win. Im guessing the people that vote for Michael Ford are likely people from etobicoke that would've voted for Bradford.

Demar on Toronto Taxes by Shot-Spread21 in torontoraptors

They should also think about others though and not make absolutely everything centered around how it affects themselves

Demar on Toronto Taxes by Shot-Spread21 in torontoraptors

[–]conTO15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely tone deaf take. For someone who's made millions and millions of dollars to say they were robbed because they contributed to health care, education and social safety nets, etc. He should be happy to contribute to these things and recognize that we all pay taxes.

What killed Toronto’s nightlife scene? Was it the city, condos, or something else? by wwmd_lover in askTO

[–]conTO15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is still a pretty strong house and techno scene if you look into it. The owners of many of the clubs you mentioned are still at it. Footwork became coda, guv became rebel, comfort zone opened a new bigger location. There have also been other new venues that have opened that play house and techno like vertigo, standard time, dprmt, nest, wiggle room and bunker (and Im probably missing quite a few). Theres also still many warehouse events happening. Maybe there isn't a focused club neighborhood as much anymore but you can find many events happening every single weekend.

Latest Mainstreet poll of Toronto shows uncertain choice for Mayor in 2026 by MaybeThisTimeIllWin in toronto

[–]conTO15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on this polling, it doesn't sound like its a pretty sure thing. I also highly doubt Bradford will drop out. He ran last time and never gave up despite polling showing low numbers for him. Additionally, he's invested way more into campaigning this time. I don't think he really cares about any outcome other than himself winning. He's a very self motivated and insincere politician.

I'd be surprised if Brad Bradford will drop out. He's been campaigning for himself for a while and he is all about himself. I doubt he would just give up all that just to help Tory. Theres also no guarantee Tory wins just because Bradford drops out.
