Tim Horton's opening soon at Queen and Spadina. They can't let McDonald's across the street hold the crown as the wildest fast food joint in Toronto. They're moving in. I predict fireworks

I have a sports metaphor story for this! I have a younger brother who was a very competitive baseball player as a kid. Was on all the local travel & developmental squads. One of his coaches had a very interesting and counterintuitive (to me) philosophy of the game, as it was played at that level.

There's a story in the Star today on what happened with the Bloor bike lanes, and it's this attitude that has soured me towards the idea of localism. Its primary expression in Canadian politics is often a parochial mindset that just because *you* live somewhere, you get a veto over everything.

The first stretch, from
Runnymede to Aberfoyle Crescent, was to be built in 2023, the second stretch, from Aberfoyle to Resurrection Road, near Islington subway station, in 2024. The city held numerous
consultations on the Etobicoke project in 2023, but at that point, officials weren't asking the community whether the bike lanes should be built, they were explaining the plan and looking for suggestions on how to fine-tune it.
This led some residents to believe they weren't being meaningfully consulted and that the bike lanes were going in over their objections.

The ebikes in the Toronto Bike Share are a game changer. I think if more people tried them, it'd have a huge impact on people's transportation choices.

So aside from just trying to follow the same people as I do elsewhere, how do folks make this a pleasant and useful place to be?
