Fortress Toronto: Behind The Scenes At The G20 (marshallgolden.wordpress.com)Yesterday I was at the Luminato food event in Queen’s Park. As many of the booths were close to the road I was able to observe about three unmarked mini-vans that each had about 4-5 cops inside and these same vans continued to circle the block and passed me numerous times over a two-hour period. Maybe they were looking for subversive Pad Thai?!?

43.City should still pursue St. Joseph's - TGary Peck Sudbury (www.thesudburystar.com)
With each passing day, we learn a little more about the sale of the former St. Joseph's Health Centre abutting Bell Park. Though far from being a scientific poll, the issue appears to be the talk of the town.From one perspective, a standard maxim is that the site was worth what the market would bear. There is no doubt that our municipal leaders would have been aware of the market value of the site when the issue was discussed. Inhouse number crunching would have provided a range.
