[URBAN NOTE] Five Toronto links: Quayside, CNE strike, City Council, soil, The Discourse

[rfmcdonald]

• Sidewalk Labs is unveiling impressive plans for the design of Quayside, but not offering much details on data collection in this smart neighbourhood. The Toronto Star reports.


• Apparently the CNE is making use of out-of-province workers faced with a strike for its long-time staff. If this is true, I will not be going to the Ex this year, I'm afraid. Global News reports.


• A court date has been set to hear a challenge against Doug Ford's unilateral reduction in the size of Toronto City Council, Jennifer Pagliaro reports at the Toronto Star.


• The illegal dumping of soil excavated from Toronto construction sites, deposited in rural areas without regard to environmental never mind legal concerns, is a growing plague in the Toronto hinterland. CBC reports.


• The Discourse has announced that they are searching for a journalist well-versed in Scarborough, extending their coverage into central Canada.
