It's disasters and infrastructure week in my "History of Here," a course focused on #Mississauga and #Toronto. So we'll discuss the largest pre-Katrina peacetime evacuation in North America - the Mississauga train derailment.
As usual, I'll begin class with some music from the period a…
Alright, #Toronto, supper's at the Budapest tonight!
Things I didn’t know would happen when I woke up this morning:
Almost sat on a raccoon today.

Now opening an RFP for a new favourite dimsum restaurant in Mississauga or Toronto, accessible by transit. Where do /you/ go? What's their specialty?

Was not on my bingo card, but the federal/provincial and city of Toronto agrees for funding of the #Waterfront East project!

Some USA Olympic Hockey players playing for Canadian teams are in for a rough ride... and if you know enough about hockey and US players, you'll be able to guess who's on top of the shit list.
But this is the part that is actually important:
“We know how this story ends,” said the writer Jennifer Weiner. “The male athletes are flying private, back to their seven-figure NHL paycheques and a White House rolling out the red carpet. The women are flying coach, back to the grind, to a league that barely pays them to play. The men, celebrated. The women, mocked.”
I'm glad the #Canucks traded Hughes, if only because it would have been extremely awkward, and possibly downright hostile.

I know the bar is pretty low in Ontario, but Toronto Line 5 Eglington is a pretty ok metro!
The stations are exceptionally cavernous and empty. Hardly any bicycle parking or coffee shops or connections to the shopping centres or residential buildings. Just hallways for elephants. Why?
Certainly way better than bringing a personal automobile into this area though. I'm definitely never doing that again.

Other than being completely devoid of culture or eateries the station vibe is very similar to Montreal. Just... sterile. It's hard to imagine meeting someone in one.
I love the absence of tire dust though. Long live rails.
