Toronto parking lot popular with CNE visitors will disappear for good this fall A new "game-changer" sports facility is set to replace a Toronto parking lot that, for decades, has served as a major draw for visitors att…

Toronto lands a $100M, world-class WNBA facility on what’s currently an underused parking lot, and @blogTO’s concern is… where a handful of people might park during the CNE? That’s the angle? Blog905 has a nice ring to it. #TorontoTempo www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

The TTC wants to make Toronto’s streetcars faster and more reliable. Here’s how On Thursday, the TTC board will contemplate a slate of measures to help speed up the city’s much maligned streetcar system.

Calls for “more consultation” sound reasonable—but they sidestep a familiar pattern: a few loud local voices mobilize, bring a councillor onside, and the outcome is predictable—the stops stay, while the goal of faster, more reliable service keeps getting pushed aside. www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

The Eglinton East LRT, Toronto's Planning Problems, and Five Better Projects. Keeping bad projects around is bad.

Keep extending the existing lines: L5 to UTSC and then The Zoo, L4 to McCowan via STC then Ellesmere to Centennial and UTSC interchange, L2 north to Markville. A multi-decade build—so protect the corridors now. In the meantime, roll out a smart BRT grid. nextmetro.substack.com/p/the-eglint... #TTC

If a provincial jet is prudent, fine. But the “man of the people” act is wearing thin. You can’t claim populist credibility while helping engineer the very conditions people are struggling through. Message received—apparently. Let’s see if it still holds in April 2030.

"Waterfront East Transit". Governments come together to disappoint me.

This was a chance to showcase a modern streetcar network: level boarding, bidirectional cars, dual-point switches, smarter stop spacing. Prove it, then scale it across the 500 network. Instead, it’s the old model, with the ROW doing the heavy lifting. #TTC nextmetro.substack.com/p/waterfront...

‘A clear setback’: More drivers speeding in Ottawa with photo radar gone, city says - Ottawa | Globalnews.ca The City of Ottawa says more drivers are speeding in school zones five months after the Ontario government shut off automated speed enforcement (ASE) cameras.

Three months after Ottawa removed its automatic safety cameras, the share of drivers following the speed limit plunged from 87% to 41%(!). "High-end speeding" is up 10x.

Automatic enforcement saves lives. If you remove it, people will die.

Is this for real? King West breaks @metrolinx.bsky.social's policy of repeated names (although they've broken it prior). Chinatown isn't actually in Chinatown. Leslieville isn't actually in Leslieville. Distillery District wasn't even in contention prior. It was always supposed to be Corktown.

Bell Media acquires rights to Saturday Night Live The sketch comedy series lands on CTV and Crave this fall, leaving its long-standing Canadian network Global.

So, Global's *not* go it! That'll put SNL U.S. and SNL U.K. on the same Canadian streamer, with the U.S. version airing terrestrially too on CTV. I honestly can't remember it ever not being on Global. #SNL

Q&A: National Film Board chair wants her organization’s productions to air on CBC - The Wire Report In an exclusive interview, NFB chair Suzanne Guèvremont spoke about the how its partnership with the CBC could lead to more NFB productions airing on CBC, as well as other collaborative opportunities.

I sometimes wonder if NFB/ONF should also share office space with CBC/Radio-Canada, at least in Toronto and Montreal. www.thewirereport.ca/2026/04/10/q...
