This sucks.
Presse Internationale has been on Bloor St W for almost two decades.
It’s a small business that helps to create a thriving main street, but next month it is closing because of an unaffordable $4,000 rent hike.
It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s time to look into commercial rent control to protect our small business community.

Thank you @JenBotterill for calling out the dinosaur thinking around cheap shots that has plagued hockey for so long.
Enough of this crap already.
A big thank you to @paranoiacs for a recent post that turned me onto John Cale's masterpiece, Paris 1919.
Picking up on interesting stuff like this is the main reason for sticking around on this website, as far as I can tell.
Looking forward to this! A bit of Montreal @flyingbooks_to on College Street tomorrow night with Sarah Gilbert and @lit_zealot Michelle Syba @AnvilPress #shortfiction

#topoli I just want to say that the "questions" that are apparently coming in from the @ThermeCanada consultation audience are 100% planted. All lobs. All designed to suss out key talking points.

It's grimly funny that all the heterodox, independent thinkers have ended up congealing into a hardened mass of conventional wisdom every bit as crushing and suffocating as what they say they oppose.

#topoli This may be an unpopular stat, based on the hyper-ventilating about attacks on the TTC. But as of Q2, 2022, the daily ridership was 721,900. So the chances of being attacked were .00013%. The risk of being killed in a car accident (Canada, 2020) is .0046%, or 35x greater.

Wrote a letter to the Attorney General of Ontario @douglasdowney reminding him of his duties as the minister responsible for the administration of justice and asking him to refer an investigation into recent questionable Greenbelt land purchases to the OPP.
