Isn't that what we've been hearing for a long time now? And if another signature building came along that everyone loved, would we have to turn it down because of precedent?

After Doug Ford's appearance on Scott Thompson's show this afternoon, we ask if he's employing the correct strategy.

While nobody would argue that the ongoing support of Locke Street is a good thing, questions still remain about why this event has resonated with people while similar acts of vandalism and urban terrorism across the city haven't.
