• First, Hamutal Dotan summarizes the Ontario provincial budget, notable for a large stimulus package and a harmonized federal/provincial value-added tax (13%) to replace the separate federal (5%) and provincial (8%) taxes. Ontario may be following the federal government's lead.


• Jonathan Goldsbie reports on the latest statistics about newspaper/weekly readership in Toronto. It turns out that the weeklies have multiple readers per copy, which doesn't surprise me. When I'm done reading it on the subway, rather than junking it I usually leave it on my seat for others to enjoy.
