The Local is so good. It's the best spot for explaining what's actually going on in Toronto and why. Great writing, great stories.

congestion pricing useful to have around for a huge list of obvious reasons but also it's nice because anytime you hear someone complaining about it you can just label them a rube and then never listen to them again about anything else

We need to figure out a way for one particular historical event to happen. A lot of historical events are happening now, but not the one I have in mind. This one would be of great interest to most people I think.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

Doug Ford refuses to double ODSP/OW. Yet, his government also cut employment programs for disabled people. Last year, he also defunded a 'peer worker' training program I co-facilitated for homeless people on OW. Ford has abandoned disabled and homeless Ontarians. www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...

One major reason why your property taxes keep increasing is because the taxes you already pay to the province aren't going back into shelter/housing. Ontario remains the only province that forces municipalities to cost share homeless programs, all while enacting policies that increase homelessness.

My illegal Pinkerton is driving me to my illegal hotel while the hallucination machine in my phone summarizes the emails my coworkers wrote using their hallucination machines. My burrito travels separately in its own limo. This is innovation and normal.

Whenever the Via Rail employee gives me the speech on how to open the emergency exit, I make sure to affect the most serious expression on my face. I want them to know they were right to trust me. I am ready to be a hero.

You're laughing, but it's true. All these lazy young people want to do these days is skip work, watch the Flintstones, make some Jello shrimp salad, and listen to a live radio broadcast about the Bay of Pigs invasion

Donald Shoup was so generous with his time and expertise. If you cared at all about parking reform, you were his friend. I’m going to miss him.

I go absolutely crazy at the library. Checking out books I know I’ll never get around to reading simply because the price is right. Hannibal crossing the alps, why not. The use of mathematics in Alice in Wonderland. Who cares, it’s free. I might actually read these. You don’t know my life.
