[rfmcdonald]

• Worrying about the relationship of Toronto and nuclear weapons seems very 1980s. What's old is new again, as noted at NOW Toronto.


• Steve Munro points out that talk of a fare freeze on the TTC ignores the underlying economics. Who, and what, will pay for this?


• It's nice that the Little Free Pantry is being supported, as Global News observes, but what does it say about our city that this is a thing?


• Clifton Joseph notes the Toronto Caribbean Festival has never achieved its goals of emancipation. Cue Bakhtin ...


• Global News notes the new Drake music video promoting his OVO Fest store at Yorkdale. I should go.
