I don't know about the entire park, but the rink in Rosedale Park is definitely city operated.

It's funny how out of the 10s of thousand of inside/outside City workers currently on strike it's all about the "sanitary engineers".  Everyone living in the downtown core is most affected by no garbage pick-up.  We suburbanites have more sq. footage of property (and garages) to store our crap.  I think some people are taking advantage of the allocated parks to dump sh*t they've had lying around their basements, and are too cheap to take it to a Transfer Station where you have to PAY to dump.  Doubling-up garbage bags makes it real easy doesn't it...]]>

That would be an ideal location due to the similarity with C.Pits, however the wiki article doesn't indicate it's a public park, and suggests parts of the field (not necessarily all) are privately owned by the Rosedale Golf Club and Mooredale House. Do we know the ownership status of that park?

The ownership of Tim's is not changing - it will have the exact same shareholders immediately after the move as it did immediately before (and those may be US, Canadian, Chinese or whatever).  The governing jurisdiction of the parent company is changing. ]]>

So you are suggesting that the main reason many US enterprises fail in Canada is due to our horribly restricive business environment? And we are oh so lucky to be close to the States otherwise we be a complete wasteland and no one would ever invest in Canada? Just wanted to clarify before I mock you.]]>

As for the Forest Hill area, does anyone know what goes on at Incinerator Park (near Bathurst and Eglinton, off Chaplin Cres.)? On Google Map, I see a big parking lot, some sort of commercial/industrial building, and no residences within spitting distance. Why isn't this a site?]]>

<title>rosedale dump</title>
<description><![CDATA[
Rosedale Park. They have several appropriate paved surfaces, including 8 tennis courts, an ice rink (similar to the one at Christie Pits), and wading pool (currently unused and could be contained by fencing).

http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en-us&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=rosedale+park+toronto&fb=1&split=1&cid=0,0,11384768904958792299&ei=JUBKSoSICYbGlAfkidE0&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1

This is a central location that would serve downtown residents, the majority of whom are driving their waste to dump sites.

  I think American companies assume it will be easy to set up shop here - after all, we are the same as them, no?  However, once they experience our horrendous taxes, insurance rates, rents and then factor in the fluctuating dollar (how do you pay royalties to your American franchise parent when we've seen the dollar go from .65 to above par and then to .87 in less than 2 years?)the business model looks far less attractive.
  And don't forget the additional costs of servicing a market the size of California's with winters like Siberia.  In fact, those who would sacrifice everything on the alter of choice, should consider it lucky that we are in such close cultural and distance proximity to the States; otherwise, many international companies may not even bother with our tiny, spread out market.]]>

<title>Realist (mostly)</title>
<description><![CDATA[
The lack of success some American companies have in expanding into Canada also has a lot to do with the existing business environment. My personal suspicion is that many of these companies wouldn't do all that well if they were starting fresh in the states. For instance, I don't think Olive Garden would be doing as well as they (apparently) are if they were a new chain.

Timmy's problems in the states may also have other causes. Starbucks was closing stores last year because they had overexpanded, which may indicate that the market is oversaturated (even if Timmy's isn't exactly going after the same customers).]]>

Remove commentary? Like, censoring?

The twitter feed isn't very constructive but it is a facet of the undeniable anger that is exists in this city.
And honestly it sounds like the truth, that is the nature of the strike isn't it?]]>

You're mistaken if you think I'd be against Rosedale or Forest Hill dumps. Suggest a location and I'll forward it to my local rep and whoever is coordinating this thing.

Well I can appreciate that some of the non-drivers are reducing now but if I were planning this I would plan long term. Pending strike length they'll have to move it eventually. It sucks C.Pits is an appropriate location, but it is.
