Interesting. What I loved about the Phoenix is it was ~tucked in~. Walking by you'd never think "concert hall with long history in both Toronto's music and ethnic club scene".

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

"Doctors, nurses and other front-line workers gathered for a news conference at University Avenue and Gerrard Street to explain the risks of a lack of proper road infrastructure for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers — and to tell stories of those impacted by road violence." #BikeTO #ToPoli #OnPoli
Toronto family physician Samantha Green, who is also the co-founder of the provincial advocacy coalition Doctors for Safe Cycling, told CBC Toronto it’s clear the decision to remove bike lanes is "not based on evidence."\

"Bike lanes save lives," she said. "It's clear that the public, that the community here in Toronto wants to keep the bike lanes."
About 650 health-care workers have signed a letter calling on the province to back down on its plans, Doctors for Safe Cycling said in a news release Monday.

Great column. It really is the most transparent level of gov't (police notwithstanding). Things are tight. I often get comments like "city hall is corrupt" - well, show me where? It has the most openness, the most public eyes on it. Other levels, far less transparency (looking at you, Ontario)
