Medicine Wheel shops raided today...
So went to buy cigarettes at my local Medicine Wheel (downtown east) tonight and they were closed with a sign directing people to the nearest dispensary. Tried another MW, and same. Went to the dispensary they had directed folks to, and learned that TPS raided them today and carted away their stock. Had nothing better to do, so visited a couple more in Riverside. Same story. Doors locked.

In 2000, Kim Stockwood sang the Canadian national anthem but added her own twist to one of the lines. Instead of "We stand on guard for thee," she said: "Vince Carter you are amazing." Dope throwback!

Investors in the condominium apartment market, 2022 / Investisseurs sur le marché des appartements en copropriété, 2022
The latest study from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program provides new data on investors in the Toronto condominium apartment market. 🔑Here are some key findings:
🏘️ Condominium apartments are the most common type of property owned by investors in census metropolitan areas (CMAs) like Toronto.
🏘️ In 2022, nearly two in five condominium apartments (38.9%) in the Toronto CMA were investment properties.
🏘️ There was a higher rate of investment properties among smaller units (under 600 square feet) than among larger, more family-friendly ones (800 square feet and over) in 2022. The proportion of such smaller units among new builds has increased over time in Toronto, from 7.7% of those built in the 1990s to 38.4% of those built since 2016.

La plus récente étude du Programme de la statistique du logement canadien fournit de nouvelles données sur les investisseurs sur le marché des appartements en copropriété à Toronto. 🔑Voici quelques points saillants :
🏘️ Les appartements en copropriété sont le type de propriété le plus courant pour les investisseurs dans les régions métropolitaines de recensement (RMR) comme Toronto.
🏘️ En 2022, près de 2 appartements en copropriété sur 5 (38,9 %) étaient des propriétés d’investissement dans la RMR de Toronto.
🏘️ La proportion de propriétés d’investissement était plus élevée pour les unités de plus petite taille (de moins de 600 pieds carrés) que pour les unités de plus grande taille (de 800 pieds carrés et plus) convenant mieux aux familles en 2022. La proportion des unités plus petites parmi les nouvelles constructions a augmenté au fil du temps à Toronto pour passer de 7,7 % parmi celles construites au cours des années 1990 à 38,4 % parmi celles construites après 2016.

On the verge of Breaking the Annual Precipitation record (held since 2008)
Looks like we’re on the verge of smashing Toronto’s recorded precipitation record(records start in 1938). All the greenery wins.

The Ontario line will not be long enough to reach its greatest potential
The southwest end should be extended to the future Park Lawn GO station. The north end should reach as far as the Seneca College Newnham campus. At the very least it should reach Don Mills station.
