Does Ron have pull with the Blue Jays social team? Or is he a disc golfer? Hoping for the former, but the latter is good too.

My favourite quotes: “We do appreciate the need for housing and all that, but it doesn't have to be this extreme."

“the lack of parking ‘outweighs the benefits of creating new affordable housing.’"

Six storeys, 10 units: On paper, it seemed the kind of housing Toronto wants. Then its Scarborough neighbours weighed in Mayor Olivia Chow is looking to reform the committee of adjustment after it rejected a building the developer says conforms to the city’s new housing goals.

Colleague @poppedculture.bsky.social came into the office today ranting about this which I hadn't even seen yet but: "the rule of law for land use in Canada" remains an absolutely revolutionary political objective that nobody is interested in. www.thestar.com/news/gta/six...

Jesús Sánchez tells us that he’s known Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for a long time: the two arrived together this morning.

He also told us he hit a ball 508ft in AAA.

This image may be the most upset he looked the entire time. I’ve never seen a man happier to do media. #BlueJays

Asked to describe himself, Kazuma Okamoto said (via interpreter):

“I am very serious … And very manly.”

He then broke out laughing. #BlueJays

Bad Toronto movie theatre news: Cineplex Beaches, a six-screen multiplex opened in 1999 under the Alliance Atlantis brand, is closing end of day Feb. 17.

Damn, that’s our main theatre since it was Alliance Atlantis. Admittedly it was never very busy, which is why we liked going there.

The Sunday Editorial: How Canadian baseball can find its bounce There is enthusiasm and talent aplenty. What this country lacks is the will to build the institutions and infrastructure needed for the sport

Interesting read as someone with a kid who plays baseball in Canada and is approaching the age where we wonder — where next?

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

When I was a teen we lived out of range of CFNY, but coming to Toronto meant getting to tune in on the car radio. Felt like a big city. CFNY: The Spirit of Radio is a great doc from @alancross.bsky.social & @highballtv.bsky.social & @tvodocs.bsky.social about the impact of the station from '78-'92.
