- Today in required Rob Ford reading: “Mr. Popular,” Toronto Life‘s profile of the councillor, which is as close a look at the man as we’re likely to get this election. For Eye, meanwhile, Shawn Micallef writes about his experience crashing a huge Rob Ford party earlier this month. Notably, “nobody was evil.”
- U of T might save half a million sheets of paper a year, thanks to a project that—no kidding—”the core of [which] was setting the public printers to double-side by default.”
- Sneak a look at David Miller’s new book, Witness To A City: the first twenty-seven pages—essentially, a short autobiography—are online now [PDF].
- And hey, don’t go yet! We’re livestreaming tonight’s mayoral debate on the arts and culture. Check back in before 6 p.m. to watch.
