  1. Over two years ago I sent the idea of closing in beaches to members of council. So I must admit I like the idea. I would also add that I would investigate heating these waters with En-Wave return flow and add some giant potted palms on the beach. Then Toronto might have beaches worth travelling to.

  2. Glen, the thousands of people who head to the TO Island beach on summer weekends would disagree with you.

  4. Two year freeze on TO’s already laughably low development charges? Quel surprise! Looks like campaign planning for the next municipal election is well under way.
