Our sister blog Yonge and Roxborough News notes today that the Toronto Star online has allowed a link to someone else’s web page, something it pretty much never permits. Still, notes Roxy Blogger, yesterday’s story on the web featured such a link to “save the coach house.ca” At first it led to nowhere but now it is linked to the web page of Hiscox Holding Group that asks people — you guessed it — to sign a petition to save the coach house. That’s the 119 Isabela structure that a developer wants to put on a small yet-to-be severed lot on Molson Street. On the website Hiscox Holding Group lists offices in London, New York, Toronto and Lagos. No doubt people in London, New York and Lagos will flock to sign the petition says Y and R tartly. But the idea will not be so popular among people who live near the proposed site. Hiscox Holding Group is much more than a developer, according to the web page. It says it provides financial advisory, private equity, corporate advisory, mergers and acquisitions and independent trading.
