Do workers work during the winter when there's snow? Not just specifically this building but in general buildings in Toronto and Vaughn.

Yeah construction still moves at full pace there are just added costs such as heat retention with tarps and snow removal construction in Canada is the only industry they climate change might make the employees go this isn't too bad till we have every single day at plus 40 in the summer

I think it's the extreme cold that makes the concrete pouring go a little funky...

Usually most people will not pour even with insulated tarps once it gets below - 20

-20 happens in Toronto maybe 1 to 3 nights a winter for an hour or two in the middle of the night. That's not really a problem.

Almost exactly right! But it's 0 in many years. The data is from the U of T weather station; it does get a bit colder on average as you move north in the city.

What camera do you use? Your pics have such a unique colour palette, like retro or something

Does anyone know what’s with that Apple Store here? Is it cancelled after all or still might be there?

I'd be surprised if anyone but Apple ends up in this space. It's built to Apple specs, it's in an area of town in which they want a presence, and it's just an overall attractive property in general. On the flip side is that it's a premiere brand that makes the property look good, fits into well—even after all the legal troubles. Even if the neighbourhood continues to bleed "luxury" out to Yorkdale, they still fit in. Apple are a consistent money maker, guaranteed to be able to pay their rent for the next hundred years if need be and will be an overall draw to the building and other tenants.
After the Mizrahi mess, I also wouldn't be surprised if:
1) Apple's requested their name not touch another single piece of real estate promo (under threat of lawsuit); even after the building is complete.
2) Apple's gotten the property at a lower (perhaps significantly) lease than previously negotiated.
3) Apple's drawn further undisclosed concessions out of property management.
