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

Ford government’s own research warned against calling speed cameras ‘cash grabs’ — years before they were finally banned An MTO research report in 2022 warned that public acceptance of speed cameras is tied to the need for transparency and education.

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

Every so often I think back to July 2025 when I first moved to Boston and someone asked me "what's your team?"

I said "infectious diseases" and then they said "no, like sports team"

Enough said

Shawn Micallef: Toronto’s main drag is a real drag. So why is the Yonge Street redesign taking the slow road? The sluggish pace of the transformation Toronto’s most famous street is in sharp contrast to how quickly Church Street is set to become pedestrianized.

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. 💪

Ontario Premier Doug Ford criticised for $21m private jet purchase The premier's office said the jet will support Ford's "extensive travel" including to the US to fight Donald Trump's tariffs.

Congratulations to my home province, Ontario, on their premier's purchase of a 21 million dollar private jet on tax payer dime - hope everyone who voted for Douggie is proud @mikedscottmd.bsky.social

Yes and to be clear I'm not pedantic but this creates confusion because the algorithm in my head is different if you're calling for fever x 1 day vs fever x 3 weeks

Rounding Styles on Inpatient Infectious Disease Consult Services: Impact on Education and Patient-Care Delivery Rounding in inpatient infectious diseases can be done in multiple ways, all of which have various benefits and drawbacks for both trainees and attendings.

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
