[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: Metrolinx stops, Dean Lisowick, Toronto vigil, barbering, sales tax

[rfmcdonald]

• Transit Toronto notes that Metrolinx is actively soliciting ideas for stop names on the two light rail lines, Finch West in Toronto and Hurontario in Brampton and Missisauga.


• This look at the life of Dean Lisowick, an apparent victim whose life revolved around the Scott Mission, is terribly informative and terribly sad. The Toronto Star has it.


• The CBC reports on a Toronto vigil on the one-year anniversary of the Québec City mosque shooting.


• CBC reports on barber Dwight Murray's argument that the Ontario requirement for barbers to learn hairdressing styles not directly relevant to their craft should be changed.


• At the Toronto Star, Christopher Hume makes an argument for a Toronto sales tax. (I would make it a GTA sales tax, myself.)
