Toronto has a history of planning to do something with its waterfront (Port Lands / Quayside etc), and then never enacting those plans due to short-term politics vs actual vision. This is just more of the same.

This article is reading far too much into Google. I suppose it is the trend to get eyeballs by hating on tech giants.

How many people took Doug Ford seriously about anything?

*Rob Ford

Ah yes, in the article.

Though his brother Doug, the current premiere of Ontario, isn't that much better.

Frankly, either "Doug" or "Rob" applies equally.

(For those not in the know - Rob Ford was a former mayor of Toronto, whom was not known for being a particularly smart or nice person; Rob Ford died a few years ago. Doug Ford is his brother, and is the current Premier of Ontario. Doug is definitively less of an embarrassment, but only "less".)
