It’s unclear whether the graffiti in the photo above, taken at Queen and Bathurst Streets, is a response to the robocalls scandal. But if it isn’t, it damn well should be.

As part of an ongoing series on the occasional agonies of living in a semi-detached home, the Post has put their in-house satirist/illustrator Steve Murray on the case. His advice, predictably, is hilarious.
Clinton’s, on Bloor Street, did some bad things, and so you won’t be shaking, rattling, or rolling there for a few weeks while they shake off a liquor-license suspension. Sad.
But if you are a council nerd, here’s something that should bring a smile back to your face: a video of Anthony Perruzza (Ward 8, York West) giving one of his famously over-the-top speeches at this week’s council meeting, set to the only music powerful enough to match his soaring rhetoric.
