Here’s a factoid… ‘Factoid’ originally meant “an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print.” It has evolved to also mean “a briefly stated and usually trivial fact.”

Both ‘inch’ and ‘ounce' come from the Latin ‘uncia’ meaning “a twelfth part.” An inch is 1/12th of a foot. The original ounce was 1/12th of a pound.

A handful of developers who were in the know about the future site of a new and unnecessary highway have been buying up these lands in recent years, spurring a huge increase in land values along the highway corridor. Where have I heard this before. Let me think. Disclosure of who bought what, and when, and what the government is now paying them for these lands is essential to ensure accountability. Very fishy. thestar.com/opinion/contribu… via @torontostar

800 restaurants created street side patios that transformed the city during covid. Today, the bureaucracy is back, onerous fees are back, and restaurant & bar owners are left in limbo, waiting. Summer is short. Note to Toronto Council: fix this. thestar.com/business/2023/05…
