Extra, Extra: Go With the Flow, Heart-Based Voting, and The National’s Anthem

By David Topping

Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

Detail of Eye‘s flowchart. The bigger size is here.

• You could read what Mel Lastman has to say about the mayoral race, but the real thing to look at in this week’s Eye is their flow chart of who you should vote for.
• On that note, activist Dave Meslin hasn’t decided whom he’s voting for yet, but he implores you to “vote with your heart,” rather than strategically. (He’s right that no one should have to.) Transit advocate Steve Munro, meanwhile, has made up his mind: he’s voting for George Smitherman.
• A new column from Spacing: Street Stories, “a regular feature profiling the origins, development and current state of Toronto streets.” Today: Baldwin Street.
• Today’s can’t-miss collection of photos on the Star‘s Photo Blog is of the circus (well, for Canada, at least) outside the gruesome Russell Williams trial in Belleville.
• The National’s new video for “Terrible Love” ends at Massey Hall, during one of the band’s two nights there in June of this year. If you want to, you can skip the song and jump to 4:24, but why the heck would you want to do that?
• Tim Oakley makes the window displays at Sonic Boom, and BlogTO’s Derek Flack checked out his workshop.
