Just a tad…

Beyond my love for the CBC, I just love my Toronto Public Library system. Public access to public discussion. After finding and posting Malcom Gladwell’s interviews I searched to see if this discussion was captured because I had missed getting out to see it live. Happy it was. Next, I’d like to see a discussion about the present and future of CBC Music.

    Mayoral candidate Rob Ford says he would scrap the Transit City light rail plan in the absence of full funding from the province, and try to build subways instead. Mr. Ford has always been against streetcars, and he said a vote for him would be a vote against expanding that mode of transit. "People want subways," he said today. While he hasn't […]

  - REID: Some interesting public furniture in Russia July 12, 2018
    I recently returned from a trip to several cities in Russia, and wanted to share some interesting public space furniture ideas I encountered. Many Russian cities have seen considerable investment in their public spaces in anticipation of hosting the World Cup, like the waterfront hammocks in Samara pictured above.

  - LORINC: Doug Ford’s un-greening of Ontario July 11, 2018
    If you take a quick stroll through the Government of Ontario’s air quality tracker site – which I’d recommend doing before it mysteriously disappears in a puff of cost-cutting – you will come across a few very revealing stats: Cast back to the hazy, smoggy summer of 2005, for example — a year when the […] The post LORINC: Doug Ford’s un-greening of Ontario a […]

  - LORINC: The post-Will era begins July 5, 2018
    Waterfront Toronto’s public positioning to accompany the gang-plank resignation yesterday of its now former CEO Will Fleissig could be summarized thusly: “Nothing to look at here, please keep moving.” Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Let’s take a short stroll through the evidence: The long-promised completion of the master innovation and d […]
