We’ve Been Thinking About Love All Wrong What illness taught me about true friendship

"When we think of love, we think of romance and happily-ever-after fairy tales," Suleika Jaouad writes. "By telling this story, I want to invoke something different—the radical power of seeing, understanding, and showing up for another human":

How Frederick G. Gardiner shaped modern Toronto, for better or worse If you drive in Toronto you know the name ‘Gardiner’. The waterfront expressway was named after the man who dominated Toronto politics at a crucial point in its history

"It’s not about if the Gardiner stays or goes... It’s about what we’re going to do with this thing now that we have it."

We joined City Space podcast @theglobeandmail.com to talk about the history & future of the Gardiner Expressway and the man who built it 🎧

I quite like when cities retain some of the industrial heritage when redeveloping former industrial areas. This is the 300-ton Atlas Crane in the Toronto Portlands. One of the last of its kind on the Great Lakes, it’s being restored and incorporated into the new Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Miniseng.
