public consultation results for dedicated transit lanes on bathurst+dufferin. note overwhelming support (75%+ dufferin, 67-68% bathurst) for transit priority+converting parking to transit lanes. transportation services recommendations + councillor compromises do not reflect what people want.

Richie Assaly: I couldn’t resist trying this bizarre Toronto novelty burger joint. It filled my belly, but not my soul

Toronto is filled with charmingly bizarre restaurants. But this novelty burger joint left me feeling spiritually depleted.

It’s kind of fucked up how you can teach yourself to read a new language in the privacy and comfort of your own home but to speak it you’ve got to commit to spending several hundred hours embarrassing yourself in public.

100% agree; I think of this track as the apex of Stevie Wonder’s four year run of masterpieces, which is a level of uninterrupted virtuosity almost never seen in popular art (at least not in my lifetime.)
