a historic court ruling ⋆ The Breach "Last week, the B.C. Supreme Court made a stunning announcement: the two harm reduction organizers who risked imprisonment to save drug users’ lives won’t be going to jail, & the government has six months to rewrite Canada’s drug laws. The judge said Canada […]

There are still tickets to see Denmark's* star singer-songwriter Tina Dico when she's in Toronto at the end of this month! It's a smallish venue, so you should be able to really feel the music. I quite enjoyed her when we saw her in the EU. (She sings in English, moody and truthy songs). Just […]

In my inbox, from #Toronto city councillor Gord Perks:

"Brad Bradford wants to take Toronto backwards.

He’ll close libraries, raise transit fares, and cut services we rely on. I remember those days well, I was on Council the last time they tried this.

Worse, Brad will […]

"You could buy a Toronto Islands home for under $400,000, but the process can be harder than you think Applications to join the Toronto Islands’ Purchasers’ List are open until Oct. 30, but strict eligibility rules and a limited number of home sales make ownership difficult to secure." […]

New here? Or new to the #Greenbelt Scandal topic? Here's a summary 😡.

Hey #BikeTO: if you're on Queen Street heading east, be VERY careful at the southwest corner at Spadina: the storm drain grate/cover is rotated so that the long horizontal openings are in line with the direction of cycle traffic, and those openings are more than wide enough to swallow a whole […]

amen @doniveson.bsky.social

I’ll go further. The effective message here to our kids (and it’s a crying shame that Canadian young people are preoccupied with worry about finding housing when they grow up) is this: protecting current homeowners’ position by upending valid municipal laws, freezing Neighbourhoods in time, and dictating the ‘character’ of adjacent private property (good luck, that word ‘character’ is next to impossible to usefully define in law, we’ve tried) — all these factors take precedence over your future housing needs, kiddos, and by the way these factors are more important than your future cost of living.

Bradford's cut from the same foolish cloth as Ford ... and now he has plans for our water? 😰

I'm streaming "Gray" and enjoying how award-winner Patricia Clarkson brings such humanity and depth to yet another unusual role. Standing just 5'5" she still dominates every scene; I can't take my eyes off her. What an actor. And here, she's surrounded by an international all-star cast […]
