My guess is he is in the hospital getting a procedure. They don’t want to show him as weak so they are avoiding telling anyone he needs surgery (bypass?).

Took Via Toronto to Ottawa. I had a lot of luggage (living out of suitcases right now). Ended up booking Business to avoid the hassle and additional costs. Carry on only is joke. There should be no limit to baggage.

Squatting (from time to time) at my Mom’s place, where The Sun is delivered daily. It’s always been a rag, but it paints a very bleak picture of life in Toronto (and the World at large). Seriously. It’s as if nothing ever happens that is positive. And people are swimming in this pool of negativity.

I have been driving a lot (for me) this summer and have noticed the change. The 401 is way more aggressive with drivers who weave and tailgate. Happy to note that it’s a lot calmer on roads off the highway.

They are centrist. The problem is that the centre has shifted rightward. So much so that we can’t recognise the centre.

My gut tells me that the idea Clark Kent’s Kansas parents are a source of moral strength is the biggest fiction of this new film. In what world aren’t they mainlining Newsmax and Fox News while wearing red ball caps? Perhaps their ability to resist their neighbours is the point?

The double act of Rob Ford and John Tory are the slide to do nothing. All of Miller’s momentum sucked dry. Looking ahead… Toronto can’t fall for this kind of ‘leadership’ again.

Hit the Toronto Fringe at the Tarragon and saw $$$. The show is excellent! Two artists who’ve lost their funding struggle to make the best of their budget! Chaos. Go see it! #torontofringe #comedy

I’ve been wandering the streets of Toronto and taking 100% public. Despite summer construction diversions, this city is awesome. It’s been ages since I lived here full time. I can feel the pull to return.

That’s a broad brush. It probably says more about who you were exposed to than anything else. My family rented, as did nearly everyone I knew. And that was true until I moved to a different neighbourhood.

It is entirely problematic that he sees thing as a zero sum. Trade is not about screwing people over, it’s about exchange. Screwing people over means they will find others with whom to trade. China’s Xi Jinping is in Vietnam to figure out how to ‘screw’ the US, says Trump

This exactly. Nothing wrong with them per se, they just need someone to give them guard rails. I find creativity comes with limits. I hope they have to make something low budget again.

That’s my read on it as well. I think they excelled on TV, where show runners reign, and inside Marvel, where Feige and others do the same. They might have a solid eye for actors and are able to execute, but they need a firm hand guiding them.
