Tomorrow begins Toronto's major restriction on general area construction and road-work in most of downtown and roads throughout the city - everything in beige will be off limits for disruptive work activities until July 20th toronto.ca/wp-content/upl…

Bigger signs will solve this, trust me bro

NEW: Doug Ford won’t say how much Metrolinx is paying his friend’s company. “I don’t get involved in private sector business, so maybe you can ask them,” he said. The settlement is for public funds. From @CharliePinkerto. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/governmen…

CBC Metro Morning talked to @Ian_Darragh @iandarragh.bsky.social about what he found in his Spacing series investigating the push to add jets to the Toronto Island airport. Listen here: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

My latest on the ongoing OPP investigation into a Toronto councillor confirms @BenSpurr's excellent reporting on the building in question and details its interesting history at the Ontario Land Tribunal torontotoday.ca/local/city-hal…

This video and photo were taken 20 minutes apart in Limberlost Forest near Huntsville today. Very much had 4 seasons during a single disc golf round. Rain, hail, snow, sun, hail, rain, sun, hail, rain, sun.

Single-stair apartments are the white whale of North American housing policy. In the last few months, Toronto approved two such projects for the first time ever. More are in the pipeline. Now, the city wants to make it easier to get them approved. torontotoday.ca/local/city-hal…

BREAKING: Toronto councillor Parthi Kandavel under OPP investigation after TPS referred a complaint. Kandavel took to Instagram to announce the news after TorontoToday put questions to his office on Friday. Police would not give details on the probe. torontotoday.ca/preview/0d1e15…

@brent_bellamy Fantastic book (for which I did some of the photography :-) )

At a lecture by Toronto author David Winterton. His book on architect Frank Darling confirms that Winnipeg’s Union Bank Tower was Canada’s First Skyscraper. A title I’ve researched and advocated for over many years. It’s now being repeated elsewhere. Celebrate the title Winnipeg.

@cselley I switched to Apple like 17 years ago and if I had to switch back to Windows I honestly think I would need to take a class or something it is so foreign to me now.

My new work PC (we are transitioning from Apple) makes me feel like I’ve never used a computer before. Sort your shit out windows good lord.

Given we no longer build walkable cities and that 40% of buildings in Manhattan are illegal to build today per zoning code, this is unironically correct.

#ONpoli Just to recap: Therme claimed to own multiple spas that belonged to a different company, claimed to have construction partnerships that didn’t exist, and also didn’t meet the financial requirements — and Doug Ford still decided to give them a 95-year lease.

Jet Dreams on Toronto Island. Read part 1 of @Ian_Darragh's investigation into what would it cost, who will pay, and who benefits? With a new graphic custom-made for Spacing detailing the likely extension. spacing.ca/toronto/2026/0…

@JShamess The final unit mix will probably change, with the largest ones changed to 3 bedrooms. Definitely demand for them.

What’s interesting is 2 bedrooms are now the slowest absorbing rental units. Whereas 1 bedrooms are the quickest followed by 3 bedrooms. Seems as though the market wants to live alone or with a family and space. Curious to see if this changes in different neighborhoods where there are more families.

Today at CoA I was very happy to get approval for this great 4 storey, 16 unit apartment building on Gerrard near Norwood. Absolutely smooth sailing. All 2 bedrooms and has 1 level of underground parking.

In Part 2 of his report "Jet Dreams on Toronto Island", @Ian_Darragh looks at the findings of studies and environmental assessments that show both the difficulty of adapting the island airport for jets, and their probably negative impact on the waterfront spacing.ca/toronto/2026/0…

Yeah, that's me. :-( thebeaverton.com/2026/05/local-…
