given perks' dust-up on twitter with joshua ostroff and benjamin boles, it's a little odd to see him take the tack of trying to protect a city-owned dance space; although i guess it takes it out of a residential area so maybe it isn't so odd...

hi face. finally succumbed to temptation and started posting here, eh?

sure, but the don valley is a significant barrier, if only in people's minds. when i lived in riverdale/leslieville (eastern and booth), few of my friends would come out to visit or hang out. funny, re-reading my comments above today and seeing perks/ostroff battling it out again over twitter...

if you're going to go to that kind of effort, wouldn't it just be easier to have another iPhone and just record it onto that? having recorded band practice on my android, and then having had to convert them to be playable as mp3's on my computer, i'd rather not go through that kind of effort...

s.17 of the Compensation for Victims of Crime Act sets out that a person may be refused compensation if their behaviour directly or indirectly contributed to their injury - so for instance, a drug dealer may get refused for their claim for compensation as a victim of a crime even if the person...

the AG was just recently appointed as the previous Minister shuffled off to another portfolio. obviously this will be one of the first briefing notes the Minister has to go over. i think, however, Crim has some autonomy from the MO in their daily operations; whether that is institutional or even...

a friend of mine has been mentioning it for years, since before the election, that the ford brothers were well known drug dealers since they were in high school. he said it was pretty common knowledge amongst the kind of hard core party scene that some of his friends/co-workers/exes are in (and...

reviewed @raedeeton's tweets for today. strikes me as similar to the ringer account the ford campaign set up the last time.

i wonder if all this speculation about the arrest will end up disproving the first of wells's rules.

hah, i just spent two minutes hitting the tab key in increasing irritation getting to the login and password fields.

Obstruction of justice is not a minor thing for the Chief Magistrate. Smoking crack occasionally? No problem. But the leader of our city should not be preventing the police from doing their jobs.

a PATH-North would be a great addition; MaRS to MacDonald Block to College Park. while we're at it might as well create shopping plazas under the hospitals.

Ford Nation - a bunch of wild warrior poets, eh?

Rashomon done as a Toronto mystery?

who's the protagonist? who will the audience identify with, primarily? the reporter, the dealer, the mayor, or the detective? or would this be presented from the perspective of the community members?

i worked in frost north for a couple of months in 2012. the tunnel that leads from the subway to the queen's park complex, as the mowat, mcdonald, whitney blocks are known together, is monitored by an OPP officer. there are card readers at the various frost entrances, save for the entrances that...

i can't tell if all those march dates mean that as an aggregate UT is hopeful or eager, or if that's just wishful thinking, as in "please let this end soon."

can you imagine being one of his staffers, heading into some high-stress situations for the mayor, in front of one of the highest concentrations of media in a calendar year? surely some of the papparazzi are going to try and get photographs of ford doing something embarassing - but given that...

Average date for the pool: Apr 17 Median date for the pool: Apr 2 or at least that's what my basic (get it get it sigh) excel skills demonstrate.

a fellow parkdalian i follow on twitter asked Adrienne Batra at the EVTO bootcamp last night how she didn't know about her candidate's skeletons in the closet, and Batra's response was "have you MET my candidate?!!"
