Every once in a while, someone gets mad as hell and decides not to accept the status quo. It’s a small act of rebellion that can shake things up, bringing sanity and common sense to a situation that has gotten well out of hand. Take the case of Etobicoke resident Adi Asti. Frustrated by the […]

In effect, it wants to be an off-leash development dog, a request that has the community wary. The City of Toronto should be too. Twenty-five years ago the […]

March 22nd, 2017 · Comments Off on EDITORIAL (MARCH 2017): Foreign buyers tax a necessary cliff jump
Pursued to the edge of a cliff by relentless law enforcement, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were faced with an unenviable choice: jump, be captured, or — the most likely alternative — be killed while being captured.
