Tip for everyone who has to be in this awful heat: Get a hand towel, soak it in water and roll it up into a tube shape. Put it in a ziplock back and freeze it tonight. It will stay cold and frozen most of tomorrow and is great to put on your neck to cool you down.

Once in a while I miss exploring abandoned buildings. Saw some awesome spaces while I was in the game for about 15 years. All but one of these were shot on film, mostly 4x5. Lots of these places have been demolished.

If you are waiting, like I have been, for the city to drop its MTSA implementing zoning bylaws before the 1 year deadline hits in August… my hunch is that this motion that was adopted at PHC this month (and I totally missed originally) means it will not.

My question was already answered by Christopher Holcroft a few weeks ago in the Hill Times. Nieuport (staff + consultants) met with the PMO 8 (updated since pub) times since last summer. MP Chi Nguyen (airport MP) had 7 meetings with Nieuport inc four in March. www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/14/t...

My question is: how much have Federal Liberal MPs, including the so-far mealy-mouthed Toronto Caucus, been lobbied by this group too?

This past weekend’s rainfall was a great test of the floor protection changes to the lower Don, and looks to me like it passed with flying colours. Read that the Coxwell Bypass Tunnel is also open now too? Great improvements by the city.

Today at CoA I was very happy to get approval for this great 4 storey, 16 unit apartment building on Gerrard near Norwood. Absolutely smooth sailing. All 2 bedrooms and has 1 level of underground parking.

The staggering amount of money Ford demands the people of ON spend on his cope because he lost the mayoralty race is infuriating. But if waterfront ruining jets arrive at the Island it will be the sole fault of federal Liberals who will deserve to never win a single seat in TO again.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
