this extension is a very big deal for me because Richmond Hill is my hometown! I've heard this project discussed my whole life and seen physical progress on connecting projects (viva brt) as I've grown!
It's very cool to finally see renders as well as early works at finch.

Overall the museum is quaint but super nice! Like all Toronto history museums: it's free.
You may know it as haunted, but don't worry, the exorcism in the 60s sorted all that out. Now it's just a fun little place to visit in the city!
Reia definitely recommends. (6/6)

The guide (we had Laura, she was awesome and everyone seemed to really like and care about the history and working at the museum) then took us to the inside of the house. It's currently (temporarily) mostly unfurnished bc of water damage, but the information is the best part. (4/6)

Mackenzie primarily ran a radical newspaper, advocating for his beliefs: primarily surrounding self governance, private ballots, as well as abolitionism, women's rights, and religious freedoms.
The museum features a small printing press area, where you can print yourself! (3/6)

to start: The Scottish born William Lyon Mackenzie was NOT Prime Minister. That would be his grandson, William Lyon Mackenzie King. They never met (though King did try to reach his grandfather with seances). (2/6)

Yesterday a friend and I visited the historic Mackenzie house in Toronto! It's the residence of the famed first mayor of Toronto, prominent progressive politician, and leader of a failed rebellion against the crown.

after experiencing it on the Singapore MRT I know now how perfect alphanumeric exits are and I need them in Toronto immediately.

They should build the new TTC Headquarters at Dundas West / Bloor GO tbh. It's a rapidly growing node that's the most connected and accessible station complex outside of Union, I think it would be symbolic of where the TTC should be going in terms of integration.

watching the four nations game abroad on the nhl YouTube. Foreign viewers are split, mostly people watching from France, Korea, Taiwan and elsewhere. The Taiwanese are very pro USA, the French are pro Canadian, the Koreans are mixed.
Overall, people support Canada.

Spent a day at the Singapore City Gallery, learning a whole bunch about the urban history of the city.
Institutions like this help ground a city, and I really hope that Toronto can get a strong municipal museum soon with old city hall.
