Progress on the Scarborough Busway (Scarborough RT corridor)

After the Scarborough subway extension opens, I hope this is converted into a multi-use pathway.

Owning back to renting

Has anyone left toronto and bought suburb property and regretted it? Would love to hear people’s experiences.

context: We are toying with the idea of selling and then renting again because we miss being in the city and ownership really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Chloe Brown wants city-owned grocery stores in Toronto

Great interview with a councillor candidate from Etobicoke North, covering more than just the headline topic. Also it would be really nice if less of our grocery money went into paying for Galen Weston's yachts...

This podcast/channel also has interviews with candidates from other wards:

Diana Chan McNally, Parkdale-High Park: https://youtu.be/t0-rNfuMmMY?si=9elXTujj_4DJVVb1

Jennie Wordon, Beaches-East York: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGLk6A8hVhw

Gabe Blanc, University-Rosedale: https://youtu.be/NAFUPISWNH4?si=-avtKFdScN3h-6EU

Chris Moise (incumbent), Toronto Centre: https://youtu.be/ZRdYwj5FBhw?si=zxg-mPMnndTVz3CO

I find this super helpful because councillor platforms always sound so vague and indistinguishable on paper.

[Crosspost] Hi reddit! I'm Jay McCarrol - composer of TONY (out in theaters nationwide this weekend from A24), BLACKBERRY, and HELL OF A SUMMER. I also co-created and co-starred in NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE alongside Matt Johnson. AMA!

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor/comedian/composer/screenwriter Jay McCarol. He has composed the scores for films such as BlackBerry, Tony, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Hell of a Summer, The Kid Detective, The Dirties, and Operation Avalanche. He is also the co-creator (with Matt Johnson) of Nirvana the Band the Show and its TV show and film.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 3 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

His newest film, Tony, is out in theaters via A24 this weekend. It stars Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain and co-stars Antonio Banderas, Stavros Halkias, Emilia Jones, and Leo Woodall. It premiered to critical and audience acclaim a few weeks ago.

Synopsis: Nineteen-year-old Anthony Bourdain stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that shapes the course of his life.

Thank you :)

To the guy who gave me a bouquet outside Dufferin Mall after a breakup tonight

To the person who broke up with his girlfriend today and gave me the bouquet you had bought for her, outside Dufferin Mall around 8:30 PM:

I’m sorry. I was on a call and wary at first, my brain immediately went through all the possibilities: scam, mugging, some elaborate setup. Even though I told you I was sorry for what had happened, I wish I’d said more. You looked heartbroken, your eyes were shiny with tears, and in hindsight I wish I’d offered a hug, or at least a few more words of kindness.

For what it’s worth, it is a beautiful bouquet. You have excellent taste. The flowers are now sitting in my home, brightening up the room, and they’ve already made several people smile. My mom was on the phone with me when you approached; when I told her what had happened, she wanted me to pass along her good wishes. On the bus ride home, someone complimented the flowers, and when I told her the story, she expressed her condolences too.

I hope it gives you a small measure of comfort to know that your thoughtful gesture didn’t go to waste. A bouquet that was meant for one person ended up bringing a little warmth to several strangers. Whatever happened tonight, I hope the days ahead are gentler than this one. Wishing you healing, stranger.

Thank you to the guy at stockyards who helped me when I fell yesterday

To the guy who helped me yesterday at the stockyards. I had a drs appointment earlier that morning that gave me unforeseen side effects such as losing feeling in one of my legs. I thought I could make it home before it fully gave out but I was wrong and ended up falling outside the healthy planet.

As I was falling you stopped me from hitting the ground with forced and causing myself serious injury, then you helped me over to a bench to make sure I was okay. I also want to thank the other three people who stepped over to help me or check on me as this was happening.
The guy who caught me though, helped me get home, I didn’t get to say a proper goodbye or thank you for helping me in a moment of emergency or get your name but thank you again. I wish you and everyone who helped the best. Faith in this city and its people is being restored.
