2022: Aquarium completed. ("Company Picnic")

2038: Great Condo Crash. 'Zoners',

characterized by chromosome damage, originate at this time; they are also known

as 'Thirty-Eighters'. Myths hold them capable of shape-shifting.

2040's: Mauism 'rediscovered' and implemented - "Neo-Mauism".(Banner: GIVE UP CONTROL TO GAIN ORDER, gigantic Bruce Mau portrait)("The theory and practice of Bruce Mau Thought ("Mauism"/"Neo-Mauism" including theories of hyperdevelopment ("Massive Change"), devolution of political power, and aggressive investment in advanced research, is directly responsible for the Spit as it exists in the 2100's.")

2044-2046: Height of Neo-Mauism. Devolution of government powers combined with hyperdevelopment will eventually lead to an independent Toronto.

2049:Rochester Chunnel completed. Sewage pumped across Lake Ontario for disposal. CHUD-like tribes of Zoners begin to inhabit tunnel system.

2058: Soccer Stadium promoted by OMB, problems continue with violence-plagued Toronto FC.(Tabletop architectural model under 2058 plans)

2061: Toronto as city-state directly under Federal jurisdiction; the inevitable evolution of the Megacity. ("What does City-Statehood Mean to You?", brochure wi. new logo of city hall wi/in an atrium of a very large new city hall.)

2069-70: Leslie Kommune formed, put down by force after a declaration of independence. Many Zoners participate.(Decrees & Constitution of Leslie Workers' & Zoners' Commune, articles 5-12, 17.)

2098: Toronto Megacity Centennial
