• The idea of adding a fee for ride-hailing apps that would go towards funding the TTC makes perfect sense to me. CBC reports.


• NOW Toronto profiles ten people, neither white nor male, set to join in the post-legalization marijuana boom.


• This Toronto Star article sums up the state of what is, and is not, known about the state of the Bruce McArthur investigation.


• A new emergency shelter for the homeless is opening up in the Annex, notwithstanding the complaints of NIMBYist neighbours. The Toronto Star reports.


• The application of respondent-driven sampling methods reveals that the First Nations population of Toronto is much larger than official statistics indicate. The Toronto Star reports.
