[rfmcdonald]

• The Globe and Mail describes how the flooding of Lake Ontario is starting to impact buildings built near the waterfront on the mainland, like some of Toronto's new condos.


• All of Toronto's beaches will be, CBC reports, at least partly closed on account of the flooding.


• Lucas Powers' photo essay at CBC tracks the impact of flooding on the Toronto Islands.


• Steve Munro continues his study of buses on Queen Street, noting that the frequency of buses needs to be increased to keep pace with streetcars.


• Edward Keenan argues in the Toronto Star that Michael Ford's call for a study for Queen Street transit will reveal that streetcars are the better way.
