  1. We shouldn’t let an impressive building like Hearn Generating Station be demolished, especially without any worthwhile plans for the site!

  2. Wow… not a single comment on the “three cities” report.

  3. SAMG, haven’t you hear Toronto is booming. Of course now that Miller is gone, all we can expect the cities phenomenal growth to stop.
