Trump talks up Toronto
Posted by thegtapatriot@yahoo.ca | Apr 17, 2012 | Real Estate, Toronto |
Donald Trump sought to stir up buyers for the unsold units in Canadaβs first Trump International Hotel & Tower on Monday, undaunted by talk of an overheated real estate market in Toronto.
Even though there are more condos under construction in Toronto than in any other in North America, Mr. Trump insisted he would be willing to do a second project in Toronto if the right opportunity came along.

Akbar Al Baker said in a speech in Montreal that Canadians deserved a better airline service to the Middle East but government restrictions were hindering progress.
βQatar is of course interested in forging even closer ties with Canada but we are struggling with being granted additional landing rights,β

Is it time to open the skies in Canada and allow U.S carriers?

Is it time to open the skies in Canada and allow U.S carriers?
Despite the issues pilots have with their employer, Air Canada, the issues today are showing the serious flaws in Canada’s transportation system. There are alternatives for trips to Montreal, Ottawa and other locations; using Porter or WestJet, however other remote and specific locations are leaving Canadians hanging. People are upset and rightly so. There is a dependency in Canada, on Air Canada. However, there are a not a full list of choices. I am sure BuffaloΒ NiagaraΒ is seeing an increase and maybe it’s time to get other carriers in Canada. Our Federal policies prevent an American, or other carrier, from flying within Canada. Air Canada is taking a big hit and Canadians are angry. TheΒ Conservatives, now with a majority, may take notice. What do you say?

So who really runs the city of Toronto?

So who really runs the city of Toronto?
It’s interesting times in the city of Toronto. Mayor Mel Lastman had his issues, however we did not seem to have this endless deadlock. The former flamboyant MayorΒ definitelyΒ had his detractors, but we still got things done.Β Unfortunately Mayor Ford tried to do whatever he wanted and it has not worked out as planned. He had to work with council and it was not good enough to say that he has the support of Toronto citizens. It was all about the approach, in my opinion andΒ unfortunately he has spent a large portion of his his political capital. Β Rob Ford is a great person and has done a lot for the city. There is another side to Rob Ford, which is often not talked about. He has done a lot for the community, and continues to do so even as the Mayor. Mayor Ford has helped to control city spending; helping to promote the fact that council must respect the dollar. He has also been a great defender or the suburban areas of Scarborough and Etobicoke. So where does he go from here? I hope he continues to stay in politics, as it’s always good to have a good balance on council. It’s always good to hear opinions on both sides of the spectrum.Β

The F-35
Posted by thegtapatriot@yahoo.ca | Apr 11, 2012 | Canada, Politics, Technology, The United States of America |
Establishing air superiority in todayβs complex global security climate requires the unprecedented capabilities and versatility that only the F-35 Lightning II can offer.
Conceived in the mid 1990s, the tri-variant F-35 represents the pinnacle of more than 50 years of fighter development technology. Designed to dominate the skies, the F-35 combines the 5thΒ Generation characteristics of radar evading stealth, supersonic speed and extreme agility with the most powerful and comprehensive integrated sensor package of any fighter aircraft in history.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said she’s “speechless” about the continued delayed ofΒ the Eglinton Crosstown, saying she’s no more knowledgeable on the project than residents and business owners who’ve been waiting years for it to wrap up.
“I don’t know what to say anymore, it’s leaving me speechless,”Β said Chow.
