• Some unknown person is trapping beavers in the Don Valley and taking their pelts. How, um…traditional.
• Are Porter’s big expansion plans nothing but a ploy to get one of their competitors to buy them out? Some experts apparently think so.
• While watching Walking Dead, did you find yourself wondering what a zombie apocalypse would look like in Toronto? Someone at Spacing has come up with a surprisingly detailed answer.
• The Grid‘s David Topping has been crunching some numbers lately, and now he has graphs that show what we all already suspected: almost every age group is making less money than it used to. (Also check out last week’s Grid cover story, which covers similar thematic territory.)
• Superman turns 75 today, and something a lot of people don’t realize is that one of his creators, Joe Shuster, was from Toronto.
