You know you’ve made it as an effective community group when newspapers start writing editorials about your campaigns. The Toronto Public Space Committee‘s recent gallery show, What The TTC Could Be, challenges the notion that we could have a better transit system with less ads and more art. The Toronto Star today wrote a pretty lame defense of advertising as an artform in repsonse to the TPSC’s show. Read it here and decide if their argument even makes sense.
Also in the Star, a sad report on how an 11-year-old girl was killed by a car when crossing the street in her Rexdale neighbourhood. It seems burnt out street lights may be at the root of the collision.
