Editorial alt title: Toronto leaves door ajar for corner stores. Makes one wonder how many Globe subscribers would have once appreciated picking up the paper by walking to their “corner store” (& how said subscribers may now correlate to the neighbours opposing this change).
It’s worth reading and not so much wrong as overly pessimistic. IMO an outcome that resulted in (admittedly limited) permissions when there were none is not “closing the door” to me. Sure, I wanted the door thrown wide open, but now it’s slightly ajar and light is coming in.
Flashback to July 2020 - Toronto Council endorses EHON work plan which over the last 5+ years has brought much more choice to more places for more people across Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods
Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods adopted by Toronto City Council endorsing a work plan that represents a generational opportunity to evolve low rise neighbourhoods as more inclusive places for people to call home @CityPlanTO
Toronto Council considers whether it can make life a little easier for more people in more places - a decision that can bridge generations and communities, instead of dividing them
If you could walk a few minutes to get the milk you forgot for your kids cereal or maybe you need chocolate chips for homemade cookies because your grandchildren are coming over - this city can work better for all generations when life is within reach secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda…

Nothing sells on social like complaints - Spent about 7 hrs in Etobicoke waterfront parks today w/ family including 2 year old (@TorontoPFR manages 400 parks in Etobicoke alone) - thousands of people enjoying generous open space, great kids play areas & natural beauty - so sad
Need for workforce homes a trend line through Toronto’s history - reading “Modest Hopes” (D. Loucks & L. Valpy) about early working-class neighbourhoods, now gentrified, thinking of post-war suburban expansion for workers & ambitions for plexes to help meet today’s housing needs
Want your kids, your parents & family, your employees, your barber, your teacher, your PSW, your nurse, your local store clerk, your choir leader, your baseball coach, your mechanic, your bus driver, your best friend - do you want them all to live in Toronto? Why wouldn’t you?
New from me on @Spacing: Council this week has a chance to greenlight sixplexes in residential neighbourhoods. The sky will not fall. In fact, this move represents a generational opportunity for council to repair Toronto's troubled housing market. spacing.ca/toronto/2025/0…
Place making through great urban design gives cities a competitive advantage attracting global investment & talent - removing urban design from development review is an “own goal” Ontario should avoid thestar.com/news/gta/ontar…
More housing choice for more people in more places is more important than ever thestar.com/opinion/contri…
Nothing “artificial” about a country that suffered the loss of thousands of French & English Canadians & Indigenous people in many wars, fighting together with others, to preserve the rights & freedoms of all Canadians - fundamentally the opposite of “very little meaning” 🇨🇦
Canada competes in Australia @TSN_Sports instagram.com/p/DHbrWnBOLC5/…
Is there one place that explains both USMCA trade rules & current 🇨🇦🇺🇸 tariffs on all goods & services & importantly the volume of trade by category of good or service so that one might judge facts against myths & judge comparative impacts of any new tariffs between old friends?
