There's some obvious big news happening in the City of Toronto right now, and you'd have to be in a coma to avoid it. While the UrbanToronto editorial on our home page continues to be focused on what we do best—new development, condos, architecture, infrastructure, etc.—we are not immune to the goings on at City Hall.

For those of you who don't venture beyond our home page, you should be aware of significant action in our Forums, particularly the Toronto Issues section as of late. A thread entitled Mayor Rob Ford's Toronto has been a hotbed of discussion, with many of the recents revelations being tipped there first, so much so that UrbanToronto.ca has been hitting record traffic numbers in the last few days, both in the Forum and site-wide in general.
