Even the places where they can drive on the paved surfaces, they often don't stay on the path and cause rutting and mud puddles on the sides of the pavement. Great for six year olds just learning to "off road" on their bike, but demonstrates that they really don't care about maintaining the park.

@AlexBozikovic will love those glamour shots of the staircase!

It's good, but you should also check out the new west end location of Beach Hill Smokehouse. I haven't been to that one, but the east end one was really good.

A pretty even handed look by the Globe, from someone who’s obviously on the same neighbourhood listserv as I am. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-dufferin-grove-homeless-encampment-toronto-tents/ And on twitter, Dan Seljak makes the good point that if there’s a bunch of bylaw...

It's probably just a shortage of bike racks, but is there any issue with the bike parking method in the photo? The bikes are off to the side and not blocking anything or crushing any plants.

People who are managing large enterprises generally don't agree that working from home works at scale. And their paycheques depend on the people reporting to them being more productive, so they have a vested interest. They're not going to bring people back into the office if it will cost them...

When "the Stone Age" is early March of 2020.

I haven't been to Summerhill Market since they came out against the bus lanes.

I will definitely go once the lineups subside. Toronto is really short of decent bbq.

The news helicopter is up there again this morning. It doesn't seem they're doing anything to clear the encampment, though, there appears to be zero interest in making people leave if they don't do it voluntarily. Which has been their approach all along, but why send the cops and the trucks if...

Republicans have never been against cancel culture. They love it as much as anybody, as long as it's people they don't like being canceled. Remember the Dixie Chicks?

We have a babysitter who picks up my son at school some days. Today they decided that instead of going to the playground, they’d just ride the subway instead.

They'll figure out how to manage it. In a couple of months, they'll know how much meat they have to cook to meet the demand for each day.

Sadly, we don't find that hard to believe at all...

People in Toronto just love lining up for things. We drove by before it opened on Sunday and the lineup was half a block long. I love BBQ, but am not waiting an hour plus in line for it!

You don’t have to tell me. My wife commutes to midtown and likes to do the last mile by bixi and has been foiled this week.

I’m going by memory from the presentation the city gave at a community meeting earlier this year. We moved near the park last year, and the number in June and July was certainly more like 100 than 30.

The bixi stand at Bay and King had a lineup of 30+ people trying to drop off bikes at 9 this morning. Downtown is back, and I love it!

According to the city's numbers, there are currently 9 people living there and 14 tents. The security and support costs are about $150K/month. At the height of the encampment they said there was over 100 tents.

A more detailed article on it, describing the situation of some of the park residents. https://www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-hall/dufferin-grove-homeless-encampment-residents-fear-imminent-forced-eviction-11214956 I understand the view that refusing shelter space is reasonable because of...
