Wow, whoever put together this brilliant strike summary should get a medal. Seriously.

Spacing.ca/wire is very fortunate to have the
excellent news summaries of Monica Warzecha.
More people who work on city-based web sites should
aspire to such a high calibre of effort.
I found christopher humes’ comments about the lack of bike lanes quite amusing.The mayor and a few well chosen councillors “promised the world” when it came to bike lanes in the last election.Of course we will possibly get 50k of lanes this year, whooohooo!!!Gord Perks told me that this was a good start?!?!?!It was during the bike unions public meeting at city hall courtesy of Dave Meslin.It seemed like a slap in the face to all who support the bike lane system in toronto.I still want to see bike lanes on bloor street but then we have to ask the local councillor of ward 19 to keep an election promise.
