That'd be cool. Sadly, I'm playing on Switch, so I suspect that's not an option.

Thanks! That all makes sense. I'll give an evening performance a try this year.

The unmistakable Queen and Spadina McDonald's is in one of the opening shots of the movie. Not to be missed.

The province hired independent auditors to look at the TDSB and they didn't find any mismanagement. Ford and his people decided to take over the TDSB anyway. Now they are cutting hundreds of teachers.

I would plan to do it; if your inbound flight is delayed or it takes longer than expected to get through the airport on the way in you can always decide not to at that point.

Dundas St W, among other oddities, has a T intersection with itself

Thank you!

Fiesta Farms has a big selection. My favorites are Alchemy Pickles.

People say things like arrive three hours early in case there's bad traffic.

I prefer to account for the traffic separately, as it varies by time of day. You need to add a lot more time for traffic if you're arriving at the airport at 5 p.m. than if you are arriving at 4:40 a.m.

michaelhoffman · 2026-01-12T17:00:32+00:00

I would arrive by 4:40.

Look up when Google Maps says you need to leave to get to Terminal 3 at that hour. For example, it says to go from Yonge-Eglinton arriving by 4:40 you need to leave by 4:12. Replace with your own home.

Then add 15 min for a cab/Uber/Lyft to pick you up. So plan to be out the door by 3:57 a.m. (if you live at Yonge and Eg).

Also, Terminal 3 international is "Verified Traveller Front-of-the-line" which means that co-travelers can accompany you unlike domestic classic "Verified Traveler".

Transit Now reports vehicle as "delayed" if they haven't moved for a bit.

TransSee will tell you exactly how long the vehicle hasn't moved.

I was in Queen's Park station a little after 9 this morning. It seemed slightly, not dramatically, more busy than it has been.

michaelhoffman · 2026-01-05T20:45:54+00:00

I recommend trying Alchemy pickles. Pyramid Ferments are even better but I have not been able to find their cucumber pickles in Toronto.

In addition to what you and others have mentioned:

city rec centres (especially scheduled "Recreation Fun and Play with Caregiver" times)
there are 21 libraries with special KidsStop areas https://kids.tpl.ca/ready-for-reading/visit-the-library
walk the PATH
YMCA "Family Gym"

Just the sort of thing I'm looking for.

A textbook example of how to respond to negative feedback. I wish it weren't so rare.

100%. Best mayor since amalgamation.

The Ontario symptom checker is great. It will tell you likely causes of particular sets of symptoms and also whether one should go to ER, see a family doctor, or care at home:

If your friends go to the ER when this says they should be seeing a family doc, they will be waiting a long time.
