Populist: April 7–13

We publish a lot of articles on Torontoist, and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Populist is a weekly recap, appearing every Sunday night, that features some of the coolest, most interesting, most commented, and most recommended posts from our past week.

• Marc Lostracco discovered the good night bandit. Is no-one safe from the scourge of anonymous, grammatically-tenuous kindness? (This week's most recommended post.)
• Miles Storey was at the launch of Museum Station's finally-finished renovation, and has the photos to show for it. (This week's most commented-on post.)
• Jonathan Goldsbie discovered Kleercut's latest method of attack against Kimberly-Clark, makers of Kleenex and adorable puppies; and wrote about the people who don't want Toronto to have to have a subway cyrano of its own.
• Patrick Metzger featured a bit of distinctly Christian philosophy on St. Paul's LED display.
• Todd Aalgaard and Miles Storey covered Anonymous' latest Scientology protest.
• Jaime Woo wrote about Canada Geese, and how you had better not fight one back if it decides to go after you. Just intimidate the heck out of it instead!
• Maneesh Mohindra followed up on last October's Little House storey when that same house was put back on the market...in Brooklyn.
• Val Dodge wrote about the controversy over Leslieville's newest member: a big-ass Walmart. Well, that's what it's rumoured to maybe be, so that's for sure it.
• Readers' favourite Daily Photoist of the past week (by recommends) was Monday's collection of candid street shots, by daily_misery.
• In columns this week, there were new editions of Vintage Toronto Ads (Mac's), Povertyville (Lethbridge, Alberta), Reel Toronto (Johnny Mnemonic), Vandalist (a makeshift stand-up bass), Streeter (thinking about viral marketing way too much), Illustration Sunday (The William Reynolds Block), The Portrait Project (Ms. Trinity-Belwoods and friends).
