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 […]

  - Did the Sidewalk Labs plot just thicken, or is the story coming to an end? February 19, 2019
    A series of exposés in recent days, in both The Toronto Star and the National Observer, revealed that Sidewalk Labs has retained a small army of lobbyists to sell what looks like a high stakes and very political quid pro quo deal: the Google subsidiary will finance the LRT and other high-tech infrastructure in several […] The post Did the Sidewalk Labs plot […]

  - CodeRedTO Op Ed: Does Toronto transit need an upload? Or a download? February 19, 2019
    By Cameron MacLeod There’s been significant discussion on changing the regional transit org chart recently. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been accompanied by a realistic discussion of operating budgets and the costs of ongoing maintenance—equally high priorities. Moving name plates on offices and expanding the HR team will not result in improved transit for rid […]

  - Alchemy at the Gardiner Museum February 14, 2019
    A new piece of public art has been added to Toronto’s public art landscape, one that seeks to comfort, cajole, and seduce. This new piece is Shary Boyle’s ceramic sculpture Cracked Wheat, which greets passersby in front of the Gardiner Museum. Boyle has worked in a variety of mediums, including sculpture, performance art, overhead projection, […] The post Al […]

  - Doug Ford’s TTC subway upload and Margaret Thatcher’s cautionary tale February 13, 2019
    As the province contemplates major structural change to Toronto’s transit system, I want to offer London’s rocky history with transit governance as a cautionary tale. It is a favourite pastime in some transit circles to compare Toronto to London. For example, John Tory has compared his SmartTrack plan to the London Crossrail project, and even […] The post Do […]

    Author: Stefan Al (Island Press, 2018) Many of our world’s urban centres lie along the shores of oceans and seas. As areas of rapid urbanization, critically understanding strategies that minimize the negative impacts of sea level rise on coastal cities, and the lives contained within them, are of increasing importance. More so, given that the […] The post Bo […]
