Mayor Boom Boom may have a tough time stemming the flow of guns and revitalizing the waterfront during the short life of his mandate but the one problem he could conceivably tackle, if not solve, is the trashiest of them all. As folks from Ottawa to Napanee to Michigan ('We Don't Want to be Canada's Trash Can") angrily tell the big guy to keep his garbage on site, where is Mayor Dave's plan? Leaving Republic......

Eye comes out with a pretty good editorial on the ongoing St. Clair Streetcar battle. They make good points about streetcar priority, viability and 'transit as part of the street-level landscape.'

We could hardly believe our eyes when we read the release - Mayor Dave flapping jacks for charity. Too bad the rest of this Saturday's IVORY DadWalk involves 'a full day of family fun at Ontario Place.' Ugh. Must we wade through family, fun, and Ontario Place just to have Mayor Miller make us breakfast? Surely there's an easier way to wangle some bureaucratic bisquick. And we're not sure we're entirely invited anyway. The release......
