PSA: conspiracy-nut materials at Bloor Stn
Hi, at the newspaper rack by the convenience store near the stairs from Line 1 northbound to Line 2, some right-wing extremists have been regularly leaving many, many copies of Druthers Newspaper and handouts that look like these. I’m an open-minded and liberal guy, but not when it comes to Protocols/Christkiller-level antisemitism and blatant lies that get people killed (like weirdo “remedies” for cancer).
I do my part and recycle them whenever I see them, but I’m not there constantly. Would you help me make sure they go straight in the trash before the gullible pick them up and read them? Thanks

City Council defers the policy to allow corner stores and neighbourhood cafes
From the council meeting today:
"City Council refer the item back to the Chief Planner for consultation with the public and residents’ associations accompanied with a professional communications campaign through mainstream media channels to explain the proposal and gather their opinion." Source: https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.PH17.2
This project has been studied for 4 years, has a 95% approval rating from residents (based on survey), and been in public consultations across the city and online since May. It had been favorably reported on throughout the summer, and this week one citizen contacted counsellors and news outlets to share her concerns.
Perhaps another few years of city planning resources could rework the policy to get even more favorability?

This contest made Toronto crazy: "When the phone rings, don't say "hello". Say "I listen to CHUM!"
For years in the 70s, Toronto's popular radio station CHUM held a phone contest that drove this city nuts.
This was years before call-display. If a DJ called and you answered the phone with the phrase "I listen to CHUM", you won $1,000. For everyone else, it was yet another day of not saying "hello" to callers.
Here are two very short audio tracks of station DJs calling folks at random: amusing, but glad it ended.

You can’t park here (major crash at college & St. George)
Around 5pm, this white truck collided with two cars, a cyclist and a pedestrian right at the intersection of St. George and college. It came to a stop 50 meters west on college in front of the UofT book store.
