I can think of a dozen community organizations in the area that would be brought to tears upon receiving a 30k donation, but the progressive folks here have decided to spend it on appealing some apartments. It's pretty disgusting.

This one, from Nolan Gray, has been making the rounds on Twitter, and should probably be printed out and plastered all over this stupid neighhbourhood.

I pray for the day I never have to hear garbage like this again because developments below a certain threshold are as-of-right.

Maybe when I’m almost on my deathbed.

I've some historical evidence to suggest that prior to 225 Brunswick being a Jewish synagogue, it was a Plymouth Brethren church known as Central Gospel Hall, that met there from 1910-1930. Well-known individuals affiliated or influenced by the Plymouth Brethren include Hudson Taylor, George Muller, Jim Elliot and Billy Graham.

The church was founded in 1893 on the northwest corner of Elm and Terauley (now Bay) Sts. In 1896, it moved to the northeast corner of College (?) & Brunswick Sts., at a location known then as McBean's Hall. In 1910, it moved to 225 Brunswick, where they stayed until 1930, when they moved to Beulah Hall, then into 25 Charles St., where they remained until they folded in 1992, and turned over that property to a non-profit urban initiative known as Sanctuary Toronto, which continues today.

If anyone has further historical data on when the location on Brunswick was this PB church, I would be very interested.

Is that thing for real? I feel like I'm staring at a piece from The Onion.

It's based on a classic real Toronto Sun cover from 2011, which was at the time reacting to the Ontario Liberals forming government. I made some modifications.

Oh...by all means then, well spearing editorial memes are always welcoming. <3
