To clarify, you mean the current US political climate?
In all honesty, unless Amazon was going to go to Mississauga or Markham or something like that, I'd rather not have them. We need more jobs in the burbs, not more pressures on the inadequate Toronto infrastructure.
- mynegation 9y agoSauga and Markham are outside of Toronto municipality and - strictly speaking - are already not on the list. From the shortlist, they do not look like something Amazon is shooting for. They are in Seattle proper, not Kent or Everett. Yes, I mean US political climate. Ontario Provincial govt created the commission headed by Ed Clark and issued a bunch of statements[1], but I had the impression that above city level they are like whatever.

- apercu 9y agoSorry I wasn't clear. Yes, I know they aren't considering the burbs. But if they were (Toronto burbs, at least Mississauga, are something like the 30th largest cities in NA)it would be better than jamming Amazon and 50k employees in to Toronto.
