Danforth Homeowners: Capitalize on Your Property with a Laneway Home
In August 2018, Toronto City Council approved the construction of laneway homes throughout the 310 kilometers of identified laneway space. Since then, fewer than 100 properties have been built or are currently in the permit process. The City has approved all laneways in the old city of Toronto and East York (defined by the Danforth and Beaches neighbourhoods) as available for construction. This means 47,133 current lots could have laneway homes built on their property. These properties encompass much of the lower city, with roughly 21 kilometers spanning the distance from Old Mill to Main Street Station. While close to two-thirds of the designated laneways are west of Yonge Street,…

Have Your High and Eat it Too
Last month, Canadians were able to legally purchase edibles at their local cannabis dispensary. We’ve all heard, or experienced, pot brownie horror stories – I witnessed a friend gasping for breath because he thought he was the couch and couches don’t breathe – but edibles are a viable alternative to smoking or vaping cannabis. Edibles are products infused with cannabis extracts or concentrates that contain active tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) ingredients. These products include beverages, gummy candies, dissolvable strips, baked goods, and even butter. What happens if I take edibles? While cannabis was legalised in October 2018, edibles were not until the following year and were not available for…

Fighting with Strangers
When I first moved to Toronto, I didn’t know anyone. I had left behind a town I’d lived in for seven years in an effort to change my career path. In addition to leaving my job behind, though, I also left my friends…and our twice-monthly Dungeons & Dragons sessions. Our little band of nerds changed over the years, with people coming and going as their lives dictated, but our love of fantasy, bad jokes and epic stories had us all eager for the next session. None of us had grown up playing tabletop games. Like so many of our generation of players, we owed our new-found passtime (and dice-collecting addictions)…

What Do Safe Streets Look Like?
Forty-two. That is how many Torontonians died in the 2003 SARS outbreak, and it is also how many pedestrians and cyclists died on the streets of Toronto in 2019. If the City of Toronto treated pedestrian and cyclist safety as seriously as it is treating the current coronavirus scare perhaps that number would not have been so high. But, as the Toronto Star reported last December, Toronto police issued 140,000 fewer speeding tickets in 2018 than they had a decade earlier, and nearly fifty per cent fewer careless driving charges. There is a clear causal relationship between the reduction in the number of tickets that are issued and the increase…
