Holy moley, it’s black outside!
First time I can remember seeing a tornado warning for Toronto. [Via Xanada]
Yup. Street lights were on here. We ate lunch on the front porch to take in the exciting events. Busy Yorkdale Store Appears to Be Expanding  < 2:05:02 AM>.The Yorkdale (Canada) retail store has been packed since day #1, and now it appears the storefront is being expanded to take over the empty Bata Shoes space next door. [Via ifo Apple Store] Symphony may be on road to extinction < 1:03:07 AM>.The MSO may seriously be on the road to extinction, says this piece. I am not well enough up on the actual facts to guess how much of this talk is scare talk, but there's a Le Devoir piece also today that tries to make sense of it. [Via montreal city weblog] Toronto backs smog suit < 1:02:01 AM>.U.S. coal plants under fire over cross-border pollution [Via The Globe and Mail - National News] "In June, Ontario released a 30-year study showing that more than half of the smog over the province originates in the United States, takes nearly 3,000 lives a year and costs $5.2-billion annually in health and environmental damage." CBC, union see contract work as the great divide < 12:57:16 AM>.Never before has there been such a philosophical divide between the two sides. [Via The Globe and Mail - National News] Southern Ontario town picks up pieces after tornado < 12:56:42 AM>.Guelph hit by extreme weather system; heavy rain causes flooding across Toronto area [Via The Globe and Mail - National News] Somebody make it stop, please... < 12:49:05 AM>.I swear that that CBC management sent themselves to monotony camp to prepare for their lockout duty. Listening to the national management-hosted "CBC Radio Morning" broadcast on Radio One this morning, I couldn't believe my ears: it was worse than the worst college radio. Why not just turn off the transmitters? A good source for the union side of the story is the union's Toronto website (be sure to read the From the Floor newsletter for an exciting word search puzzle!). There are also links to employee blogs (like this and this and this). The CBC has their own website to give their side of the issues. [Via ruk.ca from peter rukavina] |
