IS the CBC worth saving…

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.

  - Rob Ford wants subways, not streetcars April 28, 2010
    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 […]

  - Toronto’s missing middle should be built along collector roads December 13, 2019
    Much of the conversation about missing middle development in Toronto has been focused on how to smuggle additional housing units into residential areas without running afoul of NIMBY neighbours. This focus is in some ways understandable, given that the scale of building in question — somewhere between the one-to-three storey fabric of residential neighbourho […]

  - LORINC: John Tory’s tax hike and the myth of the electoral mandate December 9, 2019
    In his column on the weekend, the Globe and Mail’s Marcus Gee took Mayor John Tory to task for committing an electoral bait-and-switch, promising during the 2018 election to hold taxes to the rate of inflation (or less), and then doing a 180 last week with his pledge to hike property taxes to pay for […] The post LORINC: John Tory’s tax hike and the myth of […]

  - The Beautiful Mess of Toronto Laneways, my newest book for Spacing December 4, 2019
    There is no public space that holds my heart quite like a laneway. When I moved downtown in the mid-1990s I began to wander the city’s alleys to marvel at the graffiti and ancient-seeming garages. I was struck by the contrast between how residents were meticulous about the upkeep of the front of their homes […] The post The Beautiful Mess of Toronto Laneways […]

  - LORINC: What exactly does ‘affordable housing’ mean in Toronto? December 4, 2019
    With the unveiling yesterday of the City’s ten-year “Housing Opportunities Toronto” (HOT) action plan, Mayor John Tory and city council’s housing czar Ana Bailao launched what could be described as something of a moonshot bid to amp up the affordable housing file in the city. The plan, which addresses almost all aspects of the housing […] The post LORINC: Wh […]
