[Karen] Stintz (a Toronto politician) says: "But in terms of a city that works, as to a city that works, absolutely I think that we work."I've posted some examples of "dull colorless houses" in Classy Toronto, and below are examples of the vibrant ethnic restaurants which Stintz eulogizes.
This is not wishful thinking, or a myopic view of the situation. I think she really believes this. What could be better than to have a city full of vibrancy? Toronto, and its "white wine-sipping elites," and all those other whites, can only gain from a city full of "ethnics" with charming accents, exotic restaurants, colorful holidays, and wise and wonderful ways.
Yet, when we go to the areas most densely populated by these "ethnics" all we see are deteriorating restaurants and dull, colorless houses. So much for vibrancy. Even those areas where reasonably well-to-do (these days they are "Asians" - i.e. Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos, and the South Asians - i.e. Indians and Pakistani) immigrants reside, we find generally inferior homes, with no landscaping or maintenance of the surroundings. Dull and lusterless places.
I'll bet a good dollar that she wouldn't go to any of these, and that her hangouts are the classy French and Italian restaurants on College or King streets.
And we get these strange combinations: Chinese halal
And "Indian Style Chinese Cuisine" from a group that calls itself Hakka
