How to improve Toronto in four easy steps

Rick McGinnis:

THE PROBLEM:
Years of grimy industrial activity have made redeveloping the port lands area a wildly expensive venture.


THE SOLUTION:
Move all public events out there. We can clear our crowded downtown streets of roadblocks and streetcar detours, and shift Pride, Caribana, Run for the Cure and any G20-type public demonstrations to our lakeside Siberia. Stick the leftover G20 surveillance cameras out there and stream the footage to a cable Parade Channel.
