On May 8, the COV Standing Committee on Policy and Priorities will vote on whether to approve implementation of a road expansion project at Beach Ave. Here is a template letter I wrote to oppose the project, in case youโ€™re interested in sending comments:

Amazon is very good at everything it does, including being very bad at the things it doesn't want to do. Take signing up for Prime: nothing could be simpler. The company has built a greased slide from Prime-curiosity to Prime-confirmed that is the envy of every UX designer. 1/

Coffee Crisp is a Toronto candy bar. A coffee-flavoured variant of a British wafer bar, Coffee Crisp was first produced in 1939 at the Rowntree Co. Ltd. factory on Sterling Rd. near Dundas W. and has never been made anywhere else in the world.

Some pics from the Toronto Marathon yesterday- 42.2 km through the city. One of our teammates made us all ribbon skirts to run in to raise awareness for MMIWG2S and show solidarity as Indigenous women. It was a very inspired run in so many ways. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ #RedDressDay

When this kind of thing pops up, itโ€™s always good to revisit this piece from WEP last year, outlining exactly where 5 years of this government has brought us. westendphoenix.com/stories/devil-โ€ฆ

So weโ€™ve been dragged a bit about the Coffee Crisp, but if weโ€™re going to talk Toronto candy bars, surely this West End invention, the Crispy Crunch, which predates it, should also get a mention, as written about in the 2022 WEP Food issue.

Pretty poor planning and organization by those in charge of the #torontomarathon. Again. Maybe it's time for some long-overdue organizational change?

ABC really outdid itself today in the political cynicism dept, pulling an audacious bait + switch by voting down a 30-plan to protect English Bay from rising sea levels, then amending it to vote in favour of a road expansion project at Beach/Denman.

Strap in, Toronto, cause this will blow your mind. In 2015 Paris started work on a major transit expansion. Said first phase -- eight km of heavy rail, all underground -- would be done in 2024. And this week, less than half way through 2024, it opened railway-technology.com/projects/rer-eโ€ฆ

How does the City of Vienna build 6,000-7,000 new units of subsidized housing every year? A 1% tax on all salaries. A land bank. And loans to non-profit housing associations. theguardian.com/society/2024/aโ€ฆ

Ken Sim campaigned for Mayor saying he was an accountant who would sharpen his pencil and find ways to save lots of taxpayer $. Doesnโ€™t look like his โ€œown backgroundโ€ has stopped the FIFA costs from skyrocketing.๐Ÿ˜… #VanPoli
