The Wall Street Journal discovers T.O.’s waterfront development and its “whimsically designed boardwalks”

As luck would have it, when the Wall Street Journal scoped out Toronto’s waterfront, it seems it either didn’t notice or looked the other way on certain, ahem, embarrassing news stories. In a slideshow showcasing the ongoing waterfront facelift, which the paper calls “one of the world’s biggest waterfront revitalization efforts,” there’s a snapshot of the “whimsically designed boardwalks,” talk of the athletes’ village for the Pan Am Games and a brief sound bite from Waterfront Toronto CEO John Campbell (he says he needs more money). The paper even included the requisite nod to citizens’ general skepticism about whether Waterfront Toronto will “achieve its many goals.” While we wish they’d visited on a slightly sunnier day—the pictures are a little blah—mostly we’re just glad they haven’t caught wind of Doug Fords proposal to build a Ferris wheel and a monorail (unless, of course, they keep the fun stuff behind that pesky pay wall).
