Shawn Micallef: What a Toronto councillor’s bizarre, AI-generated image of Lawrence Plaza says about nostalgia and change in our city
The outpouring of grief for things that are lost is understandable, but nostalgia can also be harnessed for questionable reasons.

Someone told me they don’t bother masking their child at the grocery store because "they don’t wear one in school anyway"
Schools are incinerators that fuel infections out into the community. The elderly, the high-risk, they shop too. Masking in public spaces helps break that chain ⛓️💥
