Yes, city-data is likely to zap all the chatter in French in 5-4-3-2...
What if World Forum has un statut bilingue like Pontiac?
Oh Acajack, I was just thumbing through Citydata's Bill 101 and found in article 29.5 something that is reassuring for us:
Citydata shall recognize as multilingual, at the request of a user, the online-community or another member:
a forum, where it provides topics to persons who, in the majority, speak a language other than English.
Citydata may, at the request of a user who is convinced that a forum no longer satisfies the condition which enabled it to obtain the recognition of the website, withdraw such recognition if it considers it appropriate in the circumstances and after having consulted the administration.
In the recognized forums, two persons may use what language they choose in written communications to one another. However, all members must, at the request of a person required to consult such a communication in the course of his duties, prepare an English version of it.
Alors, nous pouvons continuer à bavarder comme il nous plaît. So, we must all obey the law, whether we like it or not.

Not necessarily if there's a new liberal government here. You know, laws can change if the interpretation changes.
Vraiment? As-tu vu beaucoup de messages disparaître, les tiens inclus? Really? Does it even apply if such messages are marked predominantly like this one?

Citydata may determine, by regulation, the cases, conditions or circumstances where public posts may be in another language.
Where it is in the public interest, a moderator, with the prior authorization of the Citydata website, may issue a restricted permit to a person already authorized under the laws of another forum to publish his posts in a language other than English. This restricted permit authorizes its holder to publish his posts in the language of his or her choice. Such permits are valid for a renewable period of not more than five years. While such a permit remains in force, the user is deemed to be complying with the provisions of the general laws.
Oh yeah, look at my city, it's cooler than yours because we got more laneways, graffitis and cafes and we pretend to be European"...when in reality Melbourne is full of bogans, they are obsessed with Sydney and they have lately some issues with African gangs.
.
I don't live in either, so have no vested interest in the debate.
The 'European' thing with Melbourne is really from a different era; the post WW2 period when its migrant population was both large and essentially European and there were a lot of suburbs, neighborhoods, and parts of the CBD that were readily identifiable with different national or ethnic groups.
Crime? There definitely seems to be cycles in the way crime is reported. Its wan't that long ago that those types of stories mostly came out of Sydney.
When you're talking about urbanity, you have to keep in mind that inner Sydney and its CBD isn't half the story - there are literally dozens of urban cores of varying sizes spread everywhere around the metro. What's more is that most of Sydney's major shopping malls and commerical buildings are integrated right into these areas with active street frontages, so the larger of these feel like little downtowns of their own.
I'll encourage you to go on Google Maps and look around Sydney a bit. Since almost all of these areas are built right around a transit hub, a good starting point will be to follow the train lines, and you'll find that at most train stations there'll be a main street or a 'downtown' of some sort built right around it. Parramatta, Hurstville, the Strathfield-Burwood-Ashfield area, Auburn, Campsie, Eastwood, Bondi Junction, the areas in the vids in the link above, etc etc.
Agreed. Its quite different from even other Australian cities in that way, particularly with areas like Parramatta and some of the mini CBDs on the north shore.
Dear Fusion from Usuariadildo and Oh Fusion from QC Opec. How perfect lol.. I think you started to see elements of a more grand and emerging Toronto in the twenties with Union Station and The Royal York. Toronto built the first subway system in Canada in the 50's.. Mies Van Der Rohe's TD Centre and Viljo Revell in the 60's are all evidence of a more grand and emerging metropolis. Not to mention The Toronto Stock exchange became the largest in Canada in the 40's - so yeah it was well before the 70's While I would agree prior to WWII Montreal was the more ornate city and had better examples of grand architecture - you shouldn't just gloss over Toronto's Pre WWII architecture. I also recommend you read up on the work of E.J Lennox.
Otherwise I stick by what I said. Most of what you said is like cotton candy - looks like a lot but isn't very substantive. Perhaps you could learn a lot from the Ontario History class...
