Lotta “are you sure you’re in Toronto?” in the replies/QTs from those who don’t realize how good we have it
There’s an epidemic of people convinced they live in hellscapes thanks to cherry picked social media ragebait, but most cities are better than advertised - especially here

My big-picture look at #TIFF24: Despite disruptions (some genuine, some disingenuous), TIFF felt more alive, transformative & essential than in ages. Can it carry energy forward for next two crucial editions (50th anniversary in ‘25, market launch in ‘26)? theglobeandmail.com/arts/fil…

Facadism is not great. It happens because all new development is concentrated into 5% of Toronto, while vast swaths of houses are left untouched.

Will Ferrell deciding to educate himself and others as well as supporting and loving Harper unconditionally when she came out to him really puts some other comedians to shame, huh.

One of Toronto’s newest and hottest multi-use developments, The Well, is officially complete after unveiling its Wellington Food Market this week.

As far as I’m concerned, The Well figured out the formula for a food hall. Mostly independent local success stories in a space designed by GPA Architects that unites both very expensive fitouts with lo-fi pop ups…but they might as well charge a $25 entrance fee.

Food hall wasn't open when I visited The Well last fall, but it seemed critical to the project's success (as with most urban-ish malls today)

I grew up a few kms from Six Nations, where this writer did. We lived on land that by treaty rights should be theirs. Most of us bigoted white ppl there didn’t know it. Land ack’s often seem hollow self-soothing to me - and to her, but she suggests how it could be a start. Read.
