Greetings from the Halton Hills. I enjoy your articles in the G&M & was going to ask if we were related, but seeing Ken’s message above, no need to ask.
I worked at Harrowsmith Magazine (1976-2011) for 14 years. Happily, Harrowsmith’s Truly Canadian Almanac has been revived by two former staffers. We’re about to publish our debut Spring issue – (it’s been an annual in the Fall ’til now). It’s a best-seller, and the late Stompin’ Tom’s all-time favourite almanac. Best wishes, from your (12th?) cousin, Madeleine

Comment on Architecture Envy: Vancouver vs. Toronto by junctionist

Toronto has a much better collection of contemporary architecture than Vancouver. In recent years, the city has seen the completion of bold contemporary works by Daniel Libeskind, Frank Gehry, and Will Alsop. Toronto currently has fantastic projects underway like the L-Tower by Daniel Libeskind, the Ryerson Student Centre by Snohetta, the new St. Lawrence Market North by Rogers Stirk Harbour, and Monde by Moshe Safdie. For those with less of a taste for the contemporary, Robert Stern’s One St. Thomas is most likely the best historicist high-rise built in Canada in contemporary times.

I’ve mentioned not just concepts but buildings already built in recent years and projects currently under construction. Foster’s Vancouver project isn’t much more interesting than the one in Toronto –it’s a matter of glass cylinders versus prominent interior pods. Both are among the more conservative designs by that firm, but still quite interesting. Toronto also has a dramatic subway station by Foster that’s under construction among others in series of bold designs. That’s all in addition to a collection that was far better to begin with. And if you want to talk concept designs, see Gehry’s 80-storey towers or Foster’s bold 326-metre proposal for the new convention centre. The suburbs of Toronto like Mississauga could beat Vancouver with something like the Absolute towers. Toronto is in a completely different league.

Comment on Copper Lamp Shades by Serafina Svoboda

I always use lamp shades that are made from Light Emitting Diodes because they are cheap and reliable. They also produce less heat compared to incandescent lamps. `.:.:

Embarrassing to Marnie? You mean embarrassing to himself, the unloved, smothering vagina bearing man in the relationship.
