One comment
I like the National Post’s informative graphic, especially because it doesn’t pass judgment. Its matter-of-fact “good place to buy bongs … for marijuana smokers” in its description of Jupiter is just how it should be.
I also wish there would be more news about how crime is actually going *down,* especially in other Canadian cities. When you tell people crime is low in large cities, you usually get a, “Really?!” or “No way!”
Also, I am curious what the weekend plans are for the Funhaus, Bovine, Savage Garden and the Big Bop – will these Queen+Bathurst hangouts be allowed to open for the weekend’s parties?
