@bluedotin.bsky.social we’re pulling for you guys here in Canada. Good thoughts and wishes. Prayers. Whatever it takes.

@aoc.bsky.social watching from Canada. Hopeful that different times will come. They will. Keep going.

For those who love Toronto history rabbit holes, check out this piece by @jbcurio.bsky.social about Globe writer JV McAree - who was a real character! jamiebradburnwriting.wordpress.com/tag/j-v-mcar...

@irishnana.bsky.social love your bio Irish. My own gran was Irish, actually. She came over to Canada in 1922 with her whole family. Thanks for the follow back.

They’ve done a great job with the new farmers market. Nice to be back on that North corner after a long hiatus. @thestar.com

I love that there used to be a “dead house” (morgue) at the rear of the St. Lawrence Market.

Reading "The Ward" by John Lorinc and many other contributors/editors. The section by Michael Redhill, "Where the Rich Went for Vice" provides fascinating glimpses of lost Toronto, with help from Morley Callaghan's writing.

@jeffmarek.bsky.social speaking of snippets from podcasts, can you refresh my memory on the Harold Ballard anecdote, when you were working at Park Lawn cemetery? Whenever I pass his grave while walking there I always think of that story.

@jeffmarek.bsky.social Listened to your podcast with Dan Carlin. Lots of "musings" that I could relate to. Didn't know you were a Doors fan! Good listen.
