Yep, as a child I hit a garbage can at the base of a hill while tobogganing in Greenwood Park. If only my parents were litigious!

I think that parents or guardians also need to take responsibility for their charges! Yes, the City or others should post warning signage if something has more dangers than might be expected. However, one needs to expect that if you fall from a high place you will be hurt, if you iron your clothes while wearing them you will be burnt and if you slide down a hill with 'obstacles' you may hit one of them!

Any votes on whether this will happen here :-> (I would vote yes but I doubt the question will ever be asked!) At my condo building we have several folk who now cannot use their assigned parking because their vehicle is too large (or their parking skills are so poor!)

I manage Condominiums for a living and you would not believe how many oversized vehicles I see.
The best is when someone tries to bring an F-450 into the parking garage or a king-cab pickup. Those things are either scraping the ceiling getting in or cannot back into spots given the length.
I once saw someone wedge a F-650 in my parking garage thinking they could get it down. *PLOT TWIST* they were not able to and the guy got fired (it was a company vehicle).

I'm sure Toronto would also vote to increase parking on non-resident SUV's. Unfortunately I doubt the city has the ability nor the power to do it without Ford intervening.

$162M to be precise.
Deputy Prime Minister announces over $162 million to support asylum claimants and low-income renters in Toronto - Canada.ca
Today, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, and the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, announced that the federal government will provide over $162 million in additional support to the City of Toronto.
From the above:

I think about this a lot, if a new vehicle registration tax were to be implemented, I would like to see it by vehicle weight, rather than a flat fee. Heavier vehicles cause more damage to roads. and roads will wear out faster with EVs.

It's a great idea, but I don't see the province under ford ever going for it, or allowing the city to do it.
Have you seen the size of the urban assault vehicles that Douggie and fam like to drive?

Not quite sure where best to put this but it is an example of a new building trying (fairly successfully) to pay homage to an adjacent one. Something that is usually sadly lacking here!

Attacked by an ice-cream scoop? The story of Londonâs âgougedâ building
In a rare instance of love-thy-neighbour design, a new building enables people to enjoy the view of a nearby church window. No wonder it’s been stopping passersby in their tracks
