^ Flagging @Northern Light for bird identification, please...

You rang?

That is one very well fed Red Tailed Hawk.

This is a picture I took of one down on the Leslie Spit in April of last year:

They are the largest bird of prey you will regularly see in Toronto; though Bald Eagles do pass through regularly. However, the nearest nesting pair I'm aware of is down at RBG in Hamilton.
 
Not sure why, as it would make it easier for someone to cross to the next balcony.
Could be to reduce wind resistance on the unanchored corner, to reduce window washer ropes from getting caught, or maybe to allow neighbours to speak to each other.
 
Individual Developers running silo-ed Housing Lottery processes is a mistake... that we keep making over and over and over again...


There should be a uniform criteria ranking need for all those who seek affordable or RGI housing.

Those who have the greatest need in each stream should get first dibs.

There's some logic to some level of geographic division, obviously affordable housing in Sudbury is of little interest to the typical Toronto resident, and likewise, someone in Scarborough may not be keenly interested in housing Etobicoke.

But, I think doing lists building by building or hyper-small areas isn't at all reasonable either.

It's a pity that two mediocrities--the cheap Daniels Waterfront and the tacky Sugar Wharf--have been sandwiched between this and the highly distinguished Monde. It speaks volumes about our still-underdeveloped aesthetic culture that these two hulking masses have been allowed to occupy a prime place in our city's classic postcard lakeside view.
