This comes after weeks of #protests in the city's streets alongside a rise in tensions on university & college campuses amid the ongoing #bombardment of the #Gaza Strip following Hamas's attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7.
“I started growing hard-to-find #ChineseVegetables in 1950s Toronto and helped shape #Chinatown into what it is today”
When Wing Fung Chong came to #Toronto from #China as a young man, #Chinese produce was scarce. So he saved up, bought a #farm and started importing and cultivating fruits and vegetables to supply the city’s growing Chinese population
More details are being uncovered about the #Ontario#Greenbelt land development problem.
"Over 11 days last fall, lawyers from Dentons law firm emailed the Ontario housing minister's most senior political staffer to request that protected land owned by three separate developers northeast of Toronto be opened up for development.
Dentons sent letters on behalf of Flato Developments, Orca Equity, and Wyview Group, which owned Greenbelt land in Markham, Ont., and Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ont.

Help us save the Greenbelt!
Bring your own creative signs, but we will also have some on hand.
Here's an idea. How about putting the #Greenbelt under control and protection by a combined department that includes the province of #Ontario, the federal government and a citizen's group (with representation from environmental experts)? Changes would need to be approved by all 3 levels. Maybe that would avoid fiascos like this.
Time to see if the feds can get involved?
On Tuesday night, come to 125 Simcoe Road in Bradford, ON, to support #library workers now in the fourth week of their #strike for a first contract.
The town gave 6% to people earning over $100,000 (80% men), 5% to police (almost all men), 4% in the first year for male-dominated units, but is only offering 2% to the library workers (92% #women). After years without raises.
With the relaxation of the #RCDSO#COVID19 mitigation requirements & protocols it looks like many #Ontario#Dentists are following suit & walking away from precautions they spent time, effort & money to put into place.
So previously Ontario was best in class for #airbornePrecautions. Now, apparently no longer.
Looking for a #dentist in the #GTA if you know of any still maintaining precautions especially N95, room isolation & HEPA.
🎧 #Trance or #TechHouse are my go-to genres when I edit pictures, so I listen to a lot of it.
At the end of the last century, #DaHool made three of my favorite trance tracks: "Meet Her At the Loveparade" "Sweet Mama" and this track within 3 years. And he appeared in the videos.
