Extra, Extra: Propaganda, World Rankings, and More Crime

Every weekday’s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

A screenshot of a promo video for City Insider.

  • The City announced today that it would be partnering with Rogers to produce a biweekly television program called “City Insider.” Yup, propaganda infomercials, coming to a cable TV near you. Awesome.
  • Maybe the City is ramping up its propaganda machine because it’s antsy about Toronto’s standing relative to other world cities. Last year, PricewaterhouseCoopers ranked Toronto second in its annual rankings for livability and industry, but this year we’re number three.
  • Also, those sex assaults that have been the cause of so much concern in the Christie Pits area may have migrated to Bathurst Station, where someone was apparently giving out unwanted “bear hugs” yesterday. Be safe, everyone.
