#NuitBlanche last night. Did not stay out long (I guess I'm getting old and the hour-long commute back to high park hits harder than it should...) but it was pretty cool! Was nice to explore closed down streets with @markshawtoronto.bsky.social for a little bit.
A glowing balloon floating over Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. The balloon looks somewhat like a fish, but the colour and mottled texture also makes it appear somewhat like the moon. In the background, you can see Old City Hall.An interactive art exhibit, which is a tribute to a 99-year-old Nona. The exhibit features several tiers of clotheslines which have screen printed images of the Nona, and a Toronto garden on the fabrics. Additional light/projector displays tell the story.

Just boarded my flight back to YYZ from SLC and experienced a brand new boarding procedure. I was not asked to present my passport nor my boarding pass. Instead, I had my picture taken, I was recognized by software that I am me, and allowed to board. There was no clearly communicated opt-out.

I think it’s a mistake for Carney to use his speech this morning to announce airport privatization. It really distracts from the main pitch at this summit, which is to invest in building new things, and it invites opposition.

Slightly warmer temperatures are expected this weekend! 🌡 As the snow melts, please take a moment to clear catch basins and storm drains near your property so melting snow can drain properly. Keeping these areas clear helps water flow safely and prevents it from pooling on streets and sidewalks.
