Newsstand: April 30, 2012

Morning. You'd be wise to escort yourself on a whirlwind tour of the city today, 'cause your April Metro Pass is about to expire. While you contemplate that, some news: Rob Ford is working on a three-year budget plan and looking, as he's wont to do, to the upcoming election; staff will explore bedbugs in a time of no-funding at today's Board of Health meeting; vendors and customers get riled up over the reassignment of long-time St. Lawrence Market manager; and Toronto's top doctor wants to take it slow.

Newsstand: April 27, 2012

Happy Friday to you all. And remember, there's nothing shameful about a nap, as long as it's capped at three hours. Okay: Mike Del Grande wants to put hefty city staff salaries on ice; the mushy middle turn mighty, and have a meeting; James Pasternak proposes a North York Relief Line; and Queensway sex store gets under some people's skin.
