4 h. ago Doug Ford's controversial Highway 401 tunnel project just took a big step forward

As fanciful as Premier Doug Ford's notion to combat the GTA's legendary and worsening traffic by tunnelling under Highway 401 may be, the seemingly impossible infrastructure project just took another step toward becoming a reality this week.On Monday, the Province of Ontario issued an official Request for Proposal for a Feasibility and Congestion Relief Study on the mammoth undertaking, inviting interested parties to submit their bids to provide a comprehensive report on the scope (and practicality) of the work.While experts have estimated the cost of such a tunnel to be in the ballpark of a staggering $55 billion — requiring potentially 20 years, and countless traffic disruptions along the east-west freeway, to complete — Ford's team seems intent on pushing ahead and making the province home to what they call "one of the largest, most ambitious infrastructure projects in the world."Th...

7 h. ago Toronto's rave scene is saved after controversial motion withdrawn at city hall

Toronto's underground music community breathed a collective sigh of relief last week after a controversial proposal that could have restricted dance parties and warehouse raves was withdrawn at city council.The motion, which was introduced by Toronto Centre Councillor Chris Moise, aimed to give the City greater control over applications for temporary liquor licences, which sparked alarm among local artists and ravers."If it passes, it will become even harder to organize the events that bring our communities together, with the power to shut them down potentially resting in the hands of a single councillor," warned a petition titled "Save Our Raves," which quickly garnered support on social media."These spaces are more than just venues. They're where culture is made, where we find each other, where community is built.  If we don't speak up now, we risk losing what's left."    View this post on Instag...
