After 15 years of construction, the Eglinton LRT will finally open on Feb 8th. Transit expansion is the dream. But Metrolinx’s incompetence, delays, cost overruns and how communities & businesses were treated like collateral damage, was a nightmare that can never be repeated.

It matters that your bus or streetcar shows up when you need it. Bunching & gapping leads to overcrowding, inefficient service & more congestion. I’m grateful my motion was approved to expand the TTC’s Bunching & Gapping Pilot to routes across the city.

Doug Ford is gaslighting you. He made a deal with an Austrian company to replace our public waterfront with a private spa. And Doug, get real, you already cut down the trees and killed the birds.

Film #01 of 2026, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery!
I could easily watch a dozen films with Blanc solving whatever case is thrown at him, but knowing Josh O'Connor probably won't be in the next one is a bit of a heartache. They're great together.

A ★★★★ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
Good... Blanc, along with Jud, make for a lovely combo with the counterbalance between them being worth the watch.

Having a cider at my favourite bar. It is sadly closing at the end of the week for a condo development. Toronto does need housing but not these useless condos that won't even sell.

As back-to-school season approaches, Canadian employers are making a mistake by mandating workers back to the office
Remote-work flexibility has supported workplace equity helped limit outbreaks of respiratory infections. Back-to-offices mandates could erase those gains, especially with lowered vaccination rates.
