Watching this unfold as a resident of the next-neighbourhood-over was fascinating. At first everyone was excited that a big, American company would choose Toronto for this sort of project. The initial RFP from Waterfront Toronto had very clearly been put together with them in mind.
But development takes a long time, and between the initial agreement and the plan being released, public opinion had turned strongly against big-tech. Those Waterfront Toronto board members were basically fired for not foreseeing the change in public opinion.
