Description

On Valentine’s Day, hours before the Toronto women’s hockey team continued its rise in the standings, city council met to debate the mayor’s budget. Police got the money they were demanding: was that a good move or bad move by the mayor? And who knew plowing out the end of driveways would be the cause that united everyone? Meanwhile, a tax increase that was for years considered the third rail of Toronto politics seems less electric now that it’s done. PLUS: Emma’s most controversial architecture opinion.
