It's crazy how chaotic Toronto is these days, it's nice to see someone do a run down like this and actually look at what's going on.
-
Damn Paige, your journalism is putting the Canadian news networks to shame. Well done sir!!!
-
Proportional representation... housing policy... esoteric mid-century television... this ticks a lot of boxes on my Paige bingo card. Great video again; keep up the good work
-
How do you "only" have 10k subscribers. Your content and its production value puts you in the same league as those with millions of subs. Im just waiting for the moment when the youtube algorithm catches on and you start rocketing. Top stuff
-
This is part 2 of a 4 part series looking at the legislative changes in Ontario. It starts here: https://youtu.be/YdXSiScEmNo The next one is here: https://youtu.be/V-Jr7-C42Fw I became quite fond of Tory while putting this together, I hope that the next mayor picks up the torch and continues.
-
I remember having CP24 in the background in the morning while staying at a hotel and John Tory literally attended and gave speeches at three different cultural events in three different places in the city all before noon lol While Rob Ford was the customer service mayor (personally returning phone calls to indiviudal constituents) John Tory was the community outreach mayor attending any and all cultural and city events
-
Thanks for teaching this US American so much about Canadian politics and housing reform efforts and doing it in a fun and quirky way. You really are good at this.
-
Man, it's trippy enough seeing you over here in Toronto at all, and then I watch footage of you flying a drone in the parkette on my street lmao
-
Wow absolutely fantastic, not only the script but also the editing was on point!
-
How did you get this video released do quickly? The timing is perfect!
-
I know next to nothing about Canadian politics or politicians but can't stop laughing at the opening montage ... universally relevant.
-
I’m so happy to see where Toronto is headed. It gives me hope that someday, I too can afford an appartment
-
Thank you. Liked and subscribed
-
I'm looking forward to a follow-up to this about Olivia Chow. Chances are she won't be involved with a scandal with a mistress. We never know. But what will get done with her as mayor?
-
Holy shit man the editing on this video is fantastic
-
Loved the video. I really agree that it's not up to toronto to fix the housing problem. I think the issue is really dependent on the suburbs to accommodate much more density. Which means a stronger (and smarter) premier. The province needs to realize that infrastructure is needed to not just support the growth and the rate of growth, but to create better incentives to housing development, e.g. less parking, better parks, etc. Transit projects need to be based on need, not political maneuvering.
-
I always imagined Dougie gave Tory strong mayor powers on the hopes that he would basically run densification for him. Meanwhile in places like York Region, Dougie is firing MZOs at developments like RHC that are significantly more ambitious than what Richmond Hill is proposing.
-
well this is timed well
-
I love your channel especially your content on REM. I’m hyped you did a video on Toronto since I live here hahahah. Would love to see you do a video on crosstown and the many walkable neighbourhoods in the city, that would be so cool! Also looking forward to some more REM videos!
-
Man yea.. I live in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) where all the major infrastructure projects and other policies are mostly controlled by the state government. I didn't realise how much a good thing that was since I took it for granted
