Do you know what it’s like to be discriminated against? to not be able to get into housing because everybody’s discriminating against you? to not be able to afford housing? I hope this happens to you, so you will know how it is to feel tired all the time not be able to get enough sleep to function. If you knew what it was like maybe you’d show some sympathy towards those who are worse off than you. Cheers.
No. That’s a an excuse that people use for not helping the homeless. People want a roof over their heads. Even a small space where they can life in privacy. It’s a lie that the homeless PREFER to live on the streets. The shelter system is mismanaged and people don’t feel safe.
It should never be like this in this Country for the amount of money this country has not only this country but all over north america the government is so unorganized about this .Not everybody can help themselves.
Vanguver is bad enough has too many addict homeless beggar lowlife loser debtbeat bum bozo bimbbo butcher now Toronto Canada too. How embarrassed to western world.
if you were to put a gun to my head i still would not move back to Toronto , my birthplace. The air quality alone keeps me from visiting. too many cars and too few affordable housing units. too many people all wanting the same thing at the same time. Toronto is the most unfriendly place i have ever been. i wonder why?
Seems many people have a love it or hate it view of Toronto for all different reasons, but since the pandemic some things have just been different. Thanks for the comment.
I suppose I shouldn't be so hard on Toronto, I lived at Pape and Cosburn in the early 70's and had the opportunity to meet with True Davidson, the first Mayor of East York. Her vision of East York got trashed once the City got amalgamated. So was her position. Protection of neighborhoods soon became secondary to big time developers. The price to be payed is devastating to low income citizens. Just ask me how I know.
This is really cool, and great that you filmed the process. Decades from now this will be interesting footage of what the neighborhood used to look like
Ukrainians are guilty that you come back to First nation leaving style,why you so brave by comments,let's go ask our government what is going on,no money),just construction business makes a thousand billions,Keep listening a government excuses,start thinking and analysing.How many Canadians works for minimum rate which is not enough even for a rent,tell how is possible to get a job,after so many refugees came to Canada,I'm Ukrainan and live here almost 30 years,and I feel a difference when a war was started, I loose 5 times job for 2 years),for no reasons,that's OK,it's just a life.Good luck🇺🇦🇨🇦
Yes it's very sad that many families can barely afford the basics like food and shelter, many people can't find jobs, public services are strained and much more like you said. Thank you for the introspective.
So many comments about the time spent doing a decent job. People's opinion is based on their filters... I know for a fact that the issues not understood are based in disposal of waste construction materials. There are specific requirements to sort and dispose of each base component. Wood has to be shipped with wood in specified amounts of contamination. Same applies to brick, must be sent to recycle without any contamination. Concrete no contamination. Metal will be sorted and recycled according to type. This is the difference between demolition in 2024 and demolition sites of the 90's where we basically tossed everything in the landfills. There are more strict requirements to dispose of all the shown materials...
You know the more I watched I saw dust control because of the busy populated neighborhood. All the hoarding and shoring being installed along the way... People are pissed, I get it, so am I. No need to talk smack about hard working crews.
Thank you for the comments. Yes reading about the demolition, they were very diligent about separating the different material so that some of it could be recycled. They also tried to minimize the dust and dirt in the air as many residents were concerned about that. Some people don't like the changes, some people upset about how long construction takes in the city. Thanks.
That would be sad, but so far so good. The building is now at 33 storeys and it’s rising at a rate of one floor every five days. Still planning to be completed late 2026. Thanks.
They say by positioning the Ontario Line station here straddling Line 2, impacts to area traffic during construction will be reduced and customers will have smoother transfers between the lines once the transit line is up and running. It will be a transit-oriented community, which would add housing, affordable housing, jobs, and retail space right next to the future Pape station.
It looksi Ike a goast town Pape and cosburn, it is devasting they already closed 10 stores shoppers was amazing there then they are going to tear some houses down, all of Pape its right in font of me, the holes the mouse, the vibration that l feel going to bed, the vibration in my living room, they never ask people if they would like it, they rule they take over, no shoppers, all the seniors many that live in the Apts,, they are so lost 10 stores allready they have made major problems for people travel, l feel sad for seniors Pape and Coburn was amazing now the other side they keep,use to love living there, not no more
I feel bad for all the seniors in that area and everyone losing their rentals. Sorry that you have to live with all the construction going on, and for the many years to come. Everyone living near these areas must be having a hard time dealing with it, I know at Pape and Danforth they are complaining. I'm planning on making a video at Pape and Cosburn soon, and film when they start demolishing it. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Send money to ukrain Truedo u make this beautiful country in a big mess, too much immigrants without any facilities and put Canadians in major problem even no way to correct it. Shame on all Canadians globally
They have planned a transit-oriented community here, which would add housing, affordable housing, jobs, and retail space right next to the future Pape station. It's going to be a long time before its built though.
They got it done, slow and steady. A few more areas getting demolished soon and I plan on filming. We'll see how the demolition goes in these new areas for the future subway.
