What's German for Wednesday? Mittwoch. Now that you know, some news: the battle over transit continues (though some councillors just want to know WTF is going on), drivers everywhere groan as parking fines threaten to rise, Toronto schoolkids turn reading into a sport, and Toronto Hydro equipment is likened to dinosaurs.

It's the kind of Tuesday when you miss Electric Circus and nothing really makes sense to you anymore, isn't it? Well, hang in there, we've got some news for you: Metrolinx releases a report suggesting the mayor's transit plan isn't so bad, council moves to cut out the OMB, timing of cost-of-living debate to be debated, Buddy and Pedro may be parents soon, Facebook gets weird about boobs, and charges dropped against a deaf man arrested at the G20.

It should be another "absolutely fantastic day" in Toronto, because it's Monday and we've got the news! Specifically: Things may get a little less than fantastic for Ford today as the transit feud heats up; a by-election has been called for the Toronto-Danforth riding; how the Toronto Police might be "whitewashing criminal justice" (spoiler alert: it involves stats!); there's a new (angry!) detective in town; and a quick commuter alert for eastbound Gardiner Expressway users.

Paul Bedford, Ken Greenberg, David Crombie among those asking councillors to return to planning a transit network rather than pursuing individual and often politicized projects.

Oh the Saturday news, what a bear of a different colour. Happening today: what you need to know in the event of a labour disruption, Toronto Zoo staff make fun of abandoned baby bear, police shoot and kill a man in the east end, and an Occupy protester with money.

Congratulations, it's Friday! And it's all thanks to you. In the news: the mayor's Sheppard subway adviser advises road tolls and then takes it back, a report on the city's cycling data, Proud FM forced to leave the Village, and the pandas are coming.
