Those of you who keep your houses at <73F/22C ... polar bears
There's nothing more embarrassing than waiting for your order at Coffee Central in the hospital lobby like no matter where you stand you're in the way
We also don't have the hilarious tweets we got on Twitter at its peak around 2015-2019
Nothing has united Toronto like this since Drake spent weeks bread crumbing us with billboards in the weeks leading up to Views dropping. This is the kind is nostalgia and plot line we need right now
The Ford family has been determined to make Toronto streets less safe for pedestrians and cyclists. This started with Rob Ford
Three years before speed cameras were banned in Ontario, the Ford government’s own researchers found them to be an effective safety measure, but one that risked being viewed as a “cash grab.”
Fast forward to 2025, and Premier Doug Ford himself evoked that same narrative.
As a through and through city kid I'm about to do something out of character (suburban) - buy a Costco membership because it's the only place that sells halloumi from Cyprus at a reasonable price

Sorry I’m late. I was trying to open one of those *$#@ plastic bags in the produce section at the grocery store.
In the @thestar.com I write about how Toronto lags behind other cities & the dismal watering down of yongeTOmorrow. A big chance to catch do something really great, yet thwarted by status quo inertia. There’s hope w the Church St pedestrian plan but both need your vocal support. Read & share. 💪
Tfw one of the ID fellows in the year ahead of you brings you a sweet treat in the middle of the day
I figured out how to dupe the Flour walnut double choco chip cookie... it's game over for me now
Gravy plane.

Toronto thing too. I drank hot coffee even if sweltering out
Those of us in our 30s absolutely love talking about our MSK problems. In fact when you see me next ask me about my plantar fasciitis and I'd gladly tell you about it

Great summary of rounding styles on the ID service. As someone who loves efficiency, I've really enjoyed discovery rounds (tho can depend who I'm on with) - this was not a style I experienced in residency and it can be valuable to have more time with your preceptor
