Who do you think the mystery headliners will be?

If this is your dog, it's here.

First time seeing a wild turkey in Toronto. Dude had zero fear.

I'm now 62, born and raised in Toronto. Grew up Bloor and Ossington. Parents moved us up to North York when I was 16. And I recently, for curiosity, looked up my old schools.

St Raymonds was at Christie Pits, went through K to Grade 8. Demolished. Was a beautiful old building. Two schools in the area were consolidated into one and it's now St Raymonds/St Bruno.

Bloor Collegiate at Bloor and Dufferin: I was there grades 9 and 10. Demolished. Replaced with a modern concrete and glass structure. I just found my old yearbooks from the early 1980s. I still remember the beautiful lobby, the theatre. Ugh.

When we moved up to North York I attended Nelson A Boylen at Jane and Wilson. Gone. Completely closed ten years ago. The other two were replaced; this one just gone. Not sure if they demolished it or reused it but the school is closed.

Heck, even my university is not what it was (I attended TMU when it was Ryerson Polytechnical Institute).

I think it just demonstrates how much has changed in my 62 years.

How awesome would it be if we created our own Toronto Landlord Watchlist guys? I think this is a great idea done in nyc, and would help so many of us from scummy landlords in the city who rip us off! Let’s open up this discussion

Walking around Toronto today and came across this taped to a tree stump.
Apparently a New Jersey car got towed after collecting three parking tickets, and someone decided to leave this message.

I have so many questions. 😂

Because today is a good day to clean the windows. Or that’s what i think they are doing 🤣

July 19, 2024 | Toronto - Harbourfront

8 weeks and still on strike. Long past due to make some noise.

This was taken in Toronto, April 1980. The man gesturing by the pump is the gas station owner, Neil Shepherd, arguing with a Toronto Star reporter after announcing they wouldn't refuel Soviet-made Ladas due to the invasion of Afghanistan. Ladas were actually quite popular in Canada back then because they were incredibly cheap, leading to surreal local standoffs like this.

The cutoff for the extremely biased survey is July 24th. If you meant to do it, but it slipped your mind, this is your reminder to have your say.

I think if you ask people if they’d like to be able to occasionally fly into the Island airport from a trip to Europe, many would say sure.

If you ask if Canadians want their tax dollars going to an unnecessary airport extension instead of public healthcare and education so that an American investment firm can make a huge profit, most would say no.

The survey being open to global feedback regarding a community airport is being pushed through with little information given. Experts are warning about the noise and pollution that jets every 2.5 mins would cause, resulting in damage to the environment, and physical and mental health of nearby communities. This would do massive damage to the Toronto Island and newly developed Harbourfront and Portlands. Increased traffic (from millions of people arriving and departing daily) would make commuting for those who live outside of the city and drive in for work a nightmare.

The city has said no, but the provincial and federal governments have the power to ignore that do what they want. If this happens to a major city, it’ll set even more of a precedent for government overreach everywhere else.

[647-612-3673](tel:647-612-3673) is Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s public cellphone number. He shares it and claims he wants his constituents to reach out to him.

Apparently "chopping down trees, whether it was illegally or not, is not one of the four tests that Committee of Adjustment is supposed to use to evaluate a property."
