Did you hear about the #TorontoMapleLeaf fans who gave up and started cheering for the #BlueJays (the baseball team) during yesterday’s game?
If you’re in the Greater Toronto Area, you need to check this place out. Best cupcakes in the city, I promise!
I am a Barista. Even though I’m a postgrad student, my career choice makes people think I am slow and dumb witted. No one I work with is either of these two things. I wish people would take this into consideration more frequently. Also, the other people on this list are pretty great too.
I love this project.
He won’t go to the Gay Parade, he won’t participate in the Toronto Mayor’s Art Awards, but he will dress up and perform in a ballet.
Rob Ford has been chosen to have a Cameo in the National Ballet of Canada’s 2011 Performance of “The Nutcracker”, a show I have been going to for years. A tradition I am now breaking because I’ve decided to boycott the performance.
So very sad.
Good luck to them. I kind of hope the occupiers withstand the anticipated police raid tomorrow morning.
As night fell on St. James Park Tuesday, two men remained chained to the yurt in St. James Park that houses what the Occupy Toronto protesters call the Toronto Open Library. On Monday afternoon, Jordon Walsh and Brandon Gray chained themselves to the yurt to keep it safe from anyone who might seek to evict them.
After they chained themselves, other members of the group built a kind of cage around the men, comprised of shipping pallets and plywood panels fastened together with nails, fishing line, nylon rope and bungee chords. A number of blue tarps cover the roof of this structure.
The men had plates stacked with sandwiches, along with candy and coffee. Mr. Gray said one of the supporters has been emptying their chamber pot.
According to the protesters, police burned 5,000 books when they evicted protesters from Zucotti Park on Wall Street in New York last week.
They say there are about 2,000 books in the yurt, all donated to the cause. The “open library,” is still open, just barely, Mr. Gray added.
“One of us has a longer leg chain and they can go and get books by request,” he said. “But you can’t browse. Blame the police.”
A beautiful time lapse of the city of Toronto.
