Not all those who wander are lost. I explore Metroscapes, where natural and built environments collide.

3,000 km of walking #metroscapes across Greater #Toronto, , #Hamilton, #Niagara, the #Tri-Cities, #Guelph and #Ottawa. Roughly the driving distance from Charlottetown to Dryden. #hiking #cities
I just wrote an email to ask if the City could explore extending the Steeles multi-use trail all the way to Reesor Road. This would bridge a gap between the Rouge National Urban Park's Woodland Day Use Area and the nearest TTC bus stop at Staines.
For those of you who are in #ScarbTO, there will be a public meeting about the Steeles Avenue Widening & Morningside Avenue Extension on Wednesday, January 28 (6:00-8:30 PM) at Milliken Park Community Recreation Centre (4325 McCowan). #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.toronto.ca/community-pe...

Coun. Scott Hamilton will put forth a motion to revitalize former Knob Hill Farms fountains at Pinebush and Hespeler roads, making it once again a gateway to Cambridge.

This park is technically closed at sundown, but it's before 18:00 on a Sunday evening. It also provides an east-west link across the river between Speedvale and Woodlawn.

I emailed Solomon and Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali (whom I believe is responsible for federal government communications) just now, urging them to get off the platform, and ask the RCMP to open an investigation. It's brutal this is dragging on.
The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….

Not pissing off Elon Musk and Canada’s right-wing tech bros is far more important to Evan Solomon than protecting Canadians from deepfake sexual abuse and acting on child sexual abuse material.

When did you stop posting on X?
Person A: When its owner made nazi salutes.
Person B: When it became a production and distribution channel for images of child sexual abuse.
Government: We're still posting there.

On Jan. 9, 1967, the Confederation Train began its journey.
For the next 12 months, it travelled Canada. In each car of the train was a museum dedicated to our history. The horn even played the opening notes of O Canada.
This is the story of the train.

My kid was asking my about cicadas tonight. A web search led me to this cool site. Most southern Ontarions will be familiar with the call of the Dog-day Cicada, but never appreciated that there other cicada species with quite distinguishable noises of their own. Hear for yourself (playable tracks).

Big news, even if it's been in place for a year and is subject to a future closure. This will eliminate a 200 metre detour and better connect the Junction Triangle neighbourhood.

I studied economics, and this is exactly why I advise others to take an intro micro course and nothing more. It's enough to teach you the basic forces of supply and demand and how they generally play out in the real world. Beyond that, economics becomes a gobblety-gook of math that I never retained.

Another recent addition to #Guelph downtown parks: this parkette off of Neeve Street along the Speed River's east bank. This is a direct connection along the Metalworks Block to the Spring Mill Distillery. The plethora of seating and tables is amazing, and will look even better in the spring.

Surely the intersections between a billionaire that crafted an AI generating porn of non-consenting adults and minors, and a political party that is infested with sex pests, is purely coincidental.
