Toronto: The Windy City, Politicians Score Young Voters With Teh Intranetz, The Youth Today, Ryerson Announces Historic Photojournalism Gallery
Windy enough for ya? Those heavy gusts that left you scrambling for your scarves yesterday also knocked out power to some of Toronto’s east end, and much of Atlantic Canada and Quebec.
Michael Ignatieff isn’t the only local politician using the internet to reach younger voters. Mayoral candidates David Miller, Jane Pitfield and Stephen LeDrew are hoping to YouTube themselves into City Hall by releasing campaign videos on the popular website.
How are the candidates handling the digital campaigning? It’s pretty entertaining to watch Miller give his take on trendy hangout, The Drake Hotel, but someone should have told Pitfield a lot earlier that blogging does not mean plagiarizing online news sources. Wink.
Won’t somebody think of the children? The Star reports that teen crime and narcotics use is rising at an alarming rate, especially in the 905, and the province just doesn’t have the resources to deal with it.
And more importantly, how is the city going to solve traffic jams at the kindergarten kiss-and-ride?
Ryerson University announced that it will be opening a new photography gallery to house the Black Star photography archive, donated in 2005.
After his arrest in Meaford, David Kenton Reid has been charged with the murder of a former CBC technician and Cabbagetown resident, Harley Walker.
The Liberal party is working quickly to diffuse the whole “Is Quebec a nation?” situation. Yikes.
