Finally moved from a Big 5 to #EQBank this afternoon! 🎉 It’s been great so far, but there’s a friction point: manual entry for e-transfer recipients. Adding an ‘Add from Contacts' feature would make the app 10/10. Let's make it happen! 📲

Fully in favour of bringing trash receptacles in-house. That said, it may make sense to wait until the contract for the rest of the street furniture is finalized. Otherwise, we risk ending up with bins that don’t align with the overall design vocabulary of the other fixtures across the streetscape.

Only in BlogTO-land does “permanent” mean "ditching." Not even their headlines are proofread I tell yeah. www.blogto.com/city/2026/03...

Good read... ra.co/features/449...

That headline makes it seem like his own siblings are the ones bringing the accusations. Still, this is another disturbing case in a long pattern surrounding MJ. I suspect and hope he’d be in serious legal trouble or even prison today if he were still alive. pitchfork.com/news/sibling...

Permanent standard time was likely the better choice. Still, it’s encouraging to see a province put an end to this unhealthy biannual ritual. It also demonstrates that we don’t have to wait for the U.S. to lead the way — even if ON and QC have been holding back for it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I might have preferred East Harbour over Exhibition Place as the catalyst for the new district. But this makes Exhibition Station’s grand plans — and the decision not to value engineer them — much easier to understand.

If Toronto didn’t already have a science museum, Ontario Place would be a compelling place to start. But the city does have one on an a spectacular Don Valley site — that will soon be served by two subway lines. Which makes this new proposal a good place to stop. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/02...

I’ve been locked out of Instagram for almost a week now, even though the appeal screen said reviews usually take just over a day. I honestly have no idea what I did — it only mentioned “irregular activity.” Any advice, or is this just a waiting game?

And there it is… Bari Weiss running CNN no longer feels entirely out of the realm of possibility. www.tvtechnology.com/business/mer... #CNN

Sports rights shifting to streamers is the enshittification of the sector. Sure, they may pay more than terrestrial broadcasters, but rights fees aren’t the whole story. The fan experience — now fragmented, paywalled, and harder to navigate — matters more. www.tvtechnology.com/regulatory-l...

I’d be very surprised if the next-gen Loblaw — Shoppers Drug Mart and No Frills stores — actually looked this open and transparent. Reality check: they’ll likely line the windows with shelving inside and slap cheap vinyl photos over the glass on the outside. #Loblaw dailyhive.com/canada/no-fr...

This quote gave me pause: “It’s exactly the same as the U.S. menu.” Maybe it should be. Maybe it shouldn’t. Canada is a different beast — hopefully they’ve done their research. retail-insider.com/retail-insid... #Eggslut

Nerd note 🧵... I re-ranked the Winter Games medal table using a weighted system (🥇=3, 🥈=2, 🥉=1) to reward overall podium depth. Then adjusted for population (points per million people) to better compare countries. Not perfect, but arguably a more accurate picture... #MilanoCortina2026

Very misguided to frame CBC/Radio-Canada’s globally bottom of the barrel funding as a reflection on our Olympic athletes, who are also navigating persistent funding pressures of their own. Can't two things be true? www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/olymp...

Laird, Leaside, and Mount Pleasant (featured here) aren’t interchange stations, so under Metrolinx’s methodology they don’t receive artwork—hopefully local BIAs can help change that over time. #EglintonCrosstown (3/3)

The stations are clean, efficient, and share a common design language but could use a splash of personality. #EglintonCrosstown (2/3)

From the Brentcliffe Portal (east of Laird) to Mount Dennis—and eventually YYZ—the line is fully grade-separated and effectively functions as a subway, which is impressive. #EglintonCrosstown (1/3)

Love this... "There’s an Easter egg on the new lower levels for the structurally observant: if you’re amid rectangular columns, you’re under the head house, and if the columns are round, you’re below the tracks." www.canadianarchitect.com/toronto-the-...

If Line 7 is grade-separated it would have two major implications... 1.) The higher cost would make the project less likely. 2.) If Line 7 does proceed with separation, it would strengthen the case for eventually rebuilding the non-grade-separated segments of Line 5. www.blogto.com/city/2026/02...

The station’s signature artwork, “Total Lunar Eclipse” by Sarah Morris, sets a strong visual tone for the space. #Metrolinx (3/3)

It is underground despite the surrounding surface sections, and features a large bus terminal. It is planned to become an interchange with Line 3 in the early 2030s. #Metrolinx (2/3)

Don Valley station is our second interchange on Line 5. #Metrolinx (1/3)

Thinking about the Science Centre building: I wonder how Université de l'Ontario français is performing on Queens Quay. Could Don Mills be its future home? Pair it with Collège Boréal, TFO and others as a large T.O. francophone centre — though Boréal may be unlikely given its new Distillery campus.

I’m hopeful this elevated section of Line 3 — and Line 5 from Mount Dennis to Scarlett — sparks a shift in how Toronto sees elevated rail: a proven, faster, and cheaper way to grow higher-order transit. The Ontario Line is a real-world proof inside the 416. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/02... #Metrolinx

Accessibility upgrades have to come first — no question. But it would also ben nice to see the exterior get some love at the same time: a fresh paint job (or better yet, restored exposed brick) and a tasteful illuminated sign that really signals “live music lives here.” 6ixretail.com/2026/02/hugh...

Never go to Gerrard Square without a stop here. It’s a Toronto rule.

Not the same story universe, but we do have a little Schitt’s–Heated crossover happening here… 👀 #SchittsCreek #HeatedRivalry

Downtown has such great bones—it’s disappointing to see so little of this investment landing there. That said, shifting some of the focus away from CF Polo Park could be a healthy move for the region overall, helping growth spread more evenly across the city. retail-insider.com/retail-insid...

Not only can Ford not count, he also seems unaware that Ontario’s largest mall — Square One Shopping Centre — *was* open on Family Day. It operates under the same municipal tourism exemption as the Toronto Eaton Centre. www.blogto.com/city/2026/02...

In less than 24 hours, Colbert's interview with Talarico is at more than 3.8 million YouTube views. The video is already one of the two most watched videos on the Late Show's YouTube page this year.

This stretch still needs work — likely one station removed, real transit priority, and restricting motor vehicles from crossing the tracks at a few key intersections like Leslie. Tall order. We’ll see. #EglintonCrosstown (3/3)

Today: 12 photos from Kennedy to the portal just east of Don Valley. #EglintonCrosstown (2/3)

Ten days in and it’s generally running well. #EglintonCrosstown (1/3)

Coming up on four years since the last refresh and… still nothing. Is this new AppleTV ever actually arriving? www.tomsguide.com/phones/iphon...

Strange framing by the Toronto Star. The real story is a major hotel expansion and new entertainment venue, yet we’re being baited with the loss of some surface parking . For the record, this site is alreaedy transit rich, and will soon have a new subway too. www.pressreader.com/canada/toron...

A 74-year-old Jamaican woman just told my brother and me at Dundas West station that we were the most gorgeous men she’d ever seen, that our eyes had crosses in them, and that it meant we’d live forever. ✝️ 👀 🤣

I’m used to AppleMusic in Canada having Suede (which they are called here) separate from The London Suede in their library. But now I also have to the Swedish national anthem as a tertiary obstacle. cc: @suedehq.bsky.social

I'd take this a step further and let Ontario Northland take over the White River service from Via and extend it further west too. -Connect VIA Rail’s Budd Car with the Northlander - Sign the Petition! c.org/4vMHjW68fJ via @CdnChange

While I’d agree there’s at least a hint of racism in his comments, I’m curious how he feels about Kraftwerk being in the Hall of Fame. At the end of the day, it’s always been about the spirit of the music, not a strict, technical definition of rock. exclaim.ca/music/articl...

A group of New York officials gathered on Thursday to replace the Pride flag that was removed from the Stonewall National Monument after a directive from the Trump administration. nyti.ms/467dyBJ

An important read... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #TumblerRidge

i’m sure the government is gaming it out, but i think canada needs to get more comfortable with the idea of not having a comprehensive free trade agreement with the united states — and remember that not too long ago that wasn’t even a controversial idea

Plenty of #BuffaLove from me, but with the current political climate, I’m holding off on visits until at least 2029. Nice to get a taste of the Queen City in the 416 in the meantime. www.instagram.com/p/DUeUmIfDq_...
