• We’ve just learned that Giorgio Mammoliti will, in fact, be appealing his campaign compliance audit, despite saying earlier that he wouldn’t do so.
• Spacing, the local urban-design magazine, was lucky enough to get a nice mention on Atlantic‘s awesome Cities blog. Founder Matthew Blackett talks all about the influential mag’s origins.
• If you missed John Lorinc’s article on soil contamination in Toronto for the Globe go read it now, and then ponder whether subways would be cheaper to build if there weren’t so much dirt in our dirt.
• And Rob and Doug Ford have lost nearly half the weight they set out to lose at the start of their Cut the Waist campaign. Hopefully the stress of overthrowing the TTC’s upper management in the face of widespread protest doesn’t drive either of them back to the ice cream tub.
