So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

Hey, who wants something nice?

The NY Times has published an investigation into the Therme development at Ontario Place. It found that while the company told the province it had a proven track record of operating six spas around the world, at the time it had only ever operated one. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...
European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada
A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

Toronto should look the Weston $50 million Queen’s Park gift horse straight in the mouth. My Toronto Star column.
Shawn Micallef: The family that owns Loblaw are offering $50 million to spruce up Queen’s Park? We should look that gift horse in the mouth
It’s hard to envision how $50-million worth of improvements will fit in Queen’s Park North, a greenspace that was recently renovated and is well used.

This is a really good podcast and this is a very sweet episode that will make you cry
Your job today is to find five people, get them into a room, force them to listen to this while you stare intently from the corner. Set a stopwatch and in 90 second intervals say just loud enough to be audible “it’s good, right?” Try not to blink.
