Canadian Urbanism Uncovered

Seen in Montreal

In the washroom of the cafe where we held our Spacing Montreal anniversary party on Sunday, I found this statement scrawled on the chalkboard wall. We could make out the part about Toronto not understanding the concept as it’s too democratic, but couldn’t decipher what that concept was. The CMSWW above would appear to be part of the statement, but googling doesn’t bring anything up. Any ideas? Will crosspost this to Spacing Montreal for further input.

In an effort to promote pan-Canadian understanding and fellowship, we may have left our own chalk scrawls on the wall that we feel reflect the general sentiment of most Torontonians.

  1. whoever they are, you have definitely raised their profile on google. smart move, CMSWW.

  2. I can clear up a bit of the mystery. The CMSWW was actually written by me a week prior (I think they clean the chalkboard walls at the beginning of the week). It was three parts showing how you can draw a pig using those letters. You can see a bit of it to the right. Try it, write the letter C, then above and to the right, write the letter M, below the M and the C, write W then another W slightly further to the right. Put an S in the same spot as the C but to the far right. Connect them all and you’ll get a pig!

    The other part about Toronto was written by someone else. It seems to have nothing to do with the Spacing event because it was there when I showed up long before the event started.

    I love the washrooms at L’Escalier.
