Seedhead reviewed in @thegrindto.bsky.social by @therewasnosound.bsky.social of @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social

Avi holding a copy of The Grind, a Toronto current affairs and culture print magazineReview of Avi Engel's "Seedhead," written by Michael Rancic: 
"It feels fitting to write about this record from Toronto-based songwriter Avi Engel in the wake of a devastating storm that flooded the city this September. In the aftermath of seeing massive trees lying broken at their trunks, the DVP submerged beneath muddy water, and rushing tides seeping into city buses, themes of ecological crisis and grief feel especially top of mind. Set to spare, gothic folk arrangements, Engel mourns a world with “frostbitten leaves” and riddled with “rifles and bones.” With “Seedhead,” Engel gives voice to these anxieties, and the feeling of watching our familiar world transform into something unstable and increasingly unrecognizable." — Michael Rancic

Incumbent mayor Olivia Chow isn't just trying to hold her seat this election, she's also trying to secure a strong majority on council.

Who is Chow hoping gets elected, who not, and what does she want to accomplish? @dgrdon.bsky.social gets into it.

There was a mix-up on the map with wards 6 and 7 mislabeled. It has been fixed now.

An OPP investigation, a councillor in office since 1988, a code of conduct violation, a last-minute drop-out and two big-name entries at the deadline. In our new issue, we detail seven of Toronto's wildest races for city council seats.

Wow, there's a giant NDA (non-disclosure agreement) up as a Nuit Blanche art installation calling out the silencing of curators and artists who've spoken critically of Israel. It's in the alley off Spadina south of Richmond leading to Cinecycle. By No Arms in the Arts.

Aside from the section of Bloor in Etobicoke which could be changed any time now, bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University being targeted by the province likely won't see changes until spring 2027 at the earliest, if not significantly later.

For three decades, Canada has voted against the United States’ embargo on Cuba at the annual UN General Assembly vote held in October. The U.S. is now applying economic pressure to prevent that from happening again this year.

“Reconciliation prompted us to relinquish negative feelings over the past, but many, including myself, were not willing to do that. Because we have not severed from the past. The past endures,” says Billy-Ray Belcourt in an interview about his latest book.
