• Urban Toronto looks at the excavation site of Liberty Market Tower in Liberty Village.


• blogTO notes that the Canada Goose has returned to Toronto, and that some geese have begun to defend their reclaimed territories.


• This Heather Mallick column at the Toronto Star about her accidental (and unsuccessful) impromptu stabbing of an errant raccoon is just bizarre.


• Many of the witnesses of the Yonge Street van attack last year are still struggling. Global News reports.


• The Katherine Laidlaw profileat Toronto Life of Alek Minassian, perpetrator of last year's van attack on Yonge Street, is timely. Still: How did he come to that point in his life where that atrocity made sense?
