Bad news from T.O. this week.
Going against its brave ambitions to be a world-class city, Toronto voted in red-neck councillor Rob Ford as mayor this week. Unbelievable -- and sad. The Torontoist http://torontoist.com/2010/10/welcome_to_rob_fords_toronto.php sums up the situation well, revealing a deep divide between the city's core and its outlying areas.
And, I was shocked to find out on Facebook that almost 10 people who I worked with on the national free dailies have either been fired or quit in the month and a half since I left. I'm hoping more left on their own accord than were let go.
