My guess is this is Queen's Quay at Spadina.

Well, Mayor Olivia Chow is not a Democrat in the Americian Political sense, even though she was a New Democratic Party MP at one point in time.

Not nominally, but she copied "progressive" policies of the US Democrats run cities:

  • tax increases
  • allowing homeless to camp anywhere in the cities
  • housing first approach
  • normalizing hard drugs trade and use

And I think the results will be the same as in San Francisco and anywhere else such policies were implemented

Changes in Toronto are already pretty obvious
