TORONTO – On July 2, I received an e-mail inviting me to stroll by Lawrence Ave. W. at the Columbus Centre and to “feast [my] eyes on a smallish sign (see below) and what it proposed”. What I saw was a mound of rubble, tangled steel and tree branches awaiting relocation (see below). Had I not known better, I might have confused the experience with pictures describing the outcome of raids in Ukraine or Gaza. This is all that remains of 25 Convent Court (the Convent) nestled behind 70 Playfair Ave. (the former Dante Alighieri Academy). The Convent site, one hundred metres south-west of Lawrence and Dufferin, was central to the development of that part of the [Borough/City] of North York, now Toronto.

TORONTO – There comes a time, in any government, when the incumbent seems to meander just as the public awakens from its sleep. Any type of action aimed at re-invigorating the lifelessness everyone sees as descending upon, and enveloping, the people at the helm has the appearance of desperate futility.
