Good news! Visited IKEA in Etobicoke today. Wandered around, had some delicious plant-based meatballs, and got some design inspo.
Better news! I was in Etobicoke solving my mini-reno flooring issue!
Bad news. Got a sunburn trying to get from IKEA to Kipling Stn because there’s no shuttle bus.

With respect, the entire premise of the legislation isn't based in evidence-based decision making. The province has already rejected the city's offer to keep bike lanes and restore car lanes in Etobicoke. Ask Stantec how well accepting the last contract worked out.

The 4-year expansion plan was based on current and future infrastructure but also a lot on equity and income. Central Etobicoke did not receive any new stations AFAIK due to how high the income in that area is and the demographics. The plan was based to give access to people who needed it the most.

There is a big one near me in Etobicoke with a truly gigantic cross that I find very offputting but it does seem like a diverse audience attends, at least based on the people I see coming out of the driveway if I happen to pass by after a service.

What if we introduce an air quality scale based on picking like four points (neighborhood of CN tower, Kensington Market, High Park, Etobicoke) and checking how many of them you can see the CN tower from
Colloquially known as The Etobicoke Method (. . . when you have a window facing the correct direction. Served me well for ages!)
AQI is too complicated and AQHI is too nonspecific so I propose a new form of air quality index: "Can I see the CN Tower"
