It's the day you've waited all week for...it's Saturday! How does it feel? As good as you thought, or a little anti-climatic? We know, it's kind of a let down after all the build up. Just try to make the best of it. Also, here's some news: Mayor Rob Ford will have his day(s) in court this fall; Toronto's budget surplus is a few million more than anticipated; Bob Barker is sick and tired of the Toronto Zoo's shenanigans; Dancap Productions set to take its final bow this fall; possible arson at a local high school; and limited subway service downtown this weekend.

Like moths to a flame, so too news to a Thursday. Engulf yourself in some: a plan for regional road tolls to fund transit, some figures on TTC delays, extra money found at City Hall, G20 activist plans to sue, and a scammer is targeting desperate apartment seekers.

Okay, Wednesday. It's on. Let's do this thing. But first, some news: Councillor Doug Ford just won't give up on subways; road tolls a topic of discussion among some city councillors; an art thief hits Sick Kids; a gold thief hits Harold The Jewellery Buyer (literally); CAMH set to announce a sizable donation; and Toronto's head of public health looks for new ways to keep the streets safe for foot traffic.

It's Tuesday, the day you convince yourself you're just not adequately hydrated to go to hot yoga, again. Stay home and read this temperate news instead: a proposal to lower speed limits, U of T joins a new urban research centre in Brooklyn, city council's mushy middle planning to plan some policy, and a condo proposal for a downtown church.

It's time to shake off that upbeat weekend vibe and settle into the dull underlying sense of doom that marks the start of the week. It's Monday! Today: missing Toronto teen Michelle Yu turns up in BC; Toronto police use-of-force incidents on the decline; Mayor Rob Ford not alone in his decision to skip Pride; The City was one brother short on Sunday; and winter weather makes a chilly return.

How many Saturdays would a Saturday Saturday if a Saturday could Saturday Saturday? Five. In the news: search continues for missing teen, drivers support more tolls and taxes if the money goes toward transit, Yonge Street road closures this weekend, the future of the land transfer tax, Rob Ford's approval rating goes up, and what to do with the five-cent bag fee.

If Tuesday were a flower, it would be an okay one that we all agreed to feel sort of indifferent about. But what Tuesday lacks in beauty, it makes up for in news: the city's first case of rabies since 1931, Queen's Park says no to local service on the Air-Rail Link, City Hall mail is getting the fancy treatment, and MGM Resorts International have their sights set on a new Toronto casino.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but that doesn't mean you should dismiss lunch or dinner as inferior. They might develop a complex. Don't forget that. Today: why single mothers should support the proposed Toronto casino; Pride sends Mayor Rob Ford his official invite; the mayor gives out the wrong number (again); and a traffic stop that went terribly wrong.

If you are reading this, you've made it through Friday the 13th. Good for you. Pat yourself on the back. Now throw some salt over your shoulder. Great, you're all set for the weekend, and for today's news: Toronto's crossing guards the latest target in the City's bid to privatize; Toronto Police Services Board cracks down on carding; more woes for Air Canada travelers; and the DVP is closed for the weekend.

Much like Toronto's own Drake, Thursday will be there for you, there for you, something about pillow cases, non sequitur about big girls, there for you. In the news for you: council votes to hold control of contracting out cleaners, celebrating the Summit Series, a crackdown on traffic violations, actually singing "O, Canada" in schools, ladies dressed in lettuce, and cuts at the TDSB.

Tuesday just wants to be your friend. So stop fighting it and let the idea of being friends with a day get less weird. Some news may help: Metrolinx releases details on their evaluation of council's LRT plan, the Jays lose in first game at home, the Maple Leafs blame themselves for losing, good news for the High Park Zoo, and donations are down at the Daily Bread.

It's the long weekend that just keeps on going! Or is it? Are you supposed to be at work today? Better find out. In today's news: city councillors air grievances about the soon-to-be built Air Rail Link; talk about a new subway line (no, not that one, an entirely different one, sorry, Mayor!); Toronto's role in the weekend's double lung transplant; Rob Ford just says no to sports field fees; and shades of socioeconomic inequality at tonight's Jays game.

Ah, the Saturday of a long weekend, a day to revel in disorientation and just go with it. Some news to ground you: Occupy Toronto protesters make a few demands, U of T president gives some business-y reasons to love Toronto, some facts about the St. Clair right-of-way, more aggressive coyotes, and less GO buses for the summer.
