Compared to the standard photoshop filtered images going up in the 'Post your pictures thread', it's tame.

Where is that? I'm assuming somewhere on the Toronto Islands?

You don't remember the time when the sky turned red and the lords of hell emerged from the ground?
Sure I do, it was October 25th 2010.

Surely Stintz has raised her reputation right?

Potentially, but there's some feeling in insider circles that she's pissed off too many people to put together a good team to help her run.
Maybe she has in the public's eyes, but if you listen to her speak and how she conducts her business, she's not great. Heavy conservative ties, even if more moderate, and the way she handles herself as TTC Chair bothers me. She can't take criticism (nothing is wrong with the TTC, these are all lies!), and she's reactive. One Transit was a cool idea, but it was more a play to try to show 'HEY LOOK WE WANT TO BUILD TRANSIT.. BUT THE MAYOR IS GOING TO SHOOT US DOWN', than anything that could realistically happen. You can bet it's going to be part of her platform when she runs for the office.
She's basically gaining praise to standing up to Ford when he showed weaknesses, but that shouldn't buy her a one way ticket into becoming the Mayor. The fact that every move she makes is basically setting herself up to run rubs me the wrong way as well. So better than Ford.. probably.. but that's not a great compliment, since three quarters of the populous might do a better job at this point.
Of course, then I see something like this and maybe I should be excited to have anyone else in there.

You make it sound like a complaint! I love crazy doctored photos! I just couldn't let the sky take the credit for that one!
Keeping a busy chinatown restaurant above code is a lot harder than a hotdog stand or a non-busy little restaurant beside office buildings. So it's inevitable that things like that happen to restaurants that are crammed in a dense area, those restaurants are just as good as any usually.
Far too much shoddy construction happening compared to other cities in the world. Streets w/new condo townhouses don't even exist on their mapping.. it's just open yards.
Trying to decipher this parking sign, anyone understand it?

Looks pretty clear to me: No parking from midnight until 6AM at all times of year, unless you have a resident permit, and no parking from 7PM on the first of the month to 7PM on the 16th of the month between April 1 and December 1. At other times, parking is permitted on that side of the street.
There's probably also a resident permit exception to the second one, too, but check with the city.

Yep! Toronto Islands. I'm going there soon with the wife for a picnic!

in other news, Maple Leaf Gardens finally has an ice rink again!
This sits on top of the Loblaws grocery store and is to be used by Ryerson.

I'm sure Ryerson has an excellent hockey program.
Well, this is a first! Concrete falling from the Gardiner
I guess it'll have to smash a politician's car, or kill someone. Reading up on it, apparently the city does 'controlled chipping' to trim back the loose sections of the expressway, but.. seems like that's not really helping. Always amusing to me that people at city hall are afraid to talk about it.

The 7pm thing is what I don't get.
So..
no parking:
Apr 1 7pm
through
Apr 16 7pm
....
for each month until Dec 1 7pm.
Guessing peeps park on other side of street during those times.
We seriously made those faces.

Weird, it's like they sliced half of the gardens from bottom up?

They can chip away until there's nothing left... won't fix the problem.

Got a smexy PRESTO card after GO decided to shave off its tickets and passes. I wish TTC would use these, they're so convenient.
More shootings, wtf is going on?

I'm surprised the other 3 shootings weren't from Jane and Finch.

Three shootings in four days in North York (Jane/Eglinton, Lawerence Heights, Jane/Finch) and not once was "North York" mentioned. I guess they don't want to piss off the residents of The Bridle Path, York Mills or Bayview Village. Just saying.

Haha... I live near Jane and Emmett (Weston). Where the previous shooting occurred...
And I often get off work near midnight, meaning I get home around 1:00am.
I should be more afraid, but it is hard to care due to the overwhelming statistics.
I dunno why people are so danged trigger-happy right now.

I know the one in Lawrence Heights was linked to the one in West Hill and I'm assuming the same is true for all the other ones.

If I spent that much on a fence, I'd want to protect it too. (more G20 reports)
I don't frequent Bloor and Jane often, but it's preeeeetty close to me. I walk up to Anna's Bakery right there (delicious cookies and perogies) and there's a comic shop right at the corner.

The shooting actually happened at Black Creek Drive and Weston Road... they just found the people near Jane and Bloor later on.

All these shootings happening is so depressing.
I can only hope for my own safety (and my family's) that most of it is heavily motive related and targeted and random bystanders like me are very unlikely to get hurt/involved.
Is this all kind of snowballing/action-reaction between gang and revenge scenarios?

Little Nicky's coffee shop. So I know exactly where this is. Didn't even know there were buses going north at that intersection.

Odds are pretty good the woman was already racist and just looking for a way to justify it.
Forest Hill is a special kind of neighbourhood. One that preaches community and family and then whose drivers try to run down pregnant pedestrians who have the right of way at stop signs.

After using the Oyster Card in London, I want all transit in the GTA to implement Presto in the same way
Ever since I went years ago I've felt the same way. It was like magic using that Oyster card.
