Rossi “Together We Can” Video

I will do another entry on the content of the Together We Can plan published by Rocco Rossi today. However, this entry is to show you the associated video. It is well done and exciting. It also features your author at the beginning. The slightly hoarse voice at the start belongs to the fellow in the tan jacket. That would be yours truly.

Check out the video. I hope it leads you to visit www.roccorossi.com and decide to vote Rossi for Mayor.


Let’s Talk Bike Lanes

Toronto roads are overcrowded already. While I can see many turning to the bicycle with the new lanes, I cannot see the number making even a small dent in the number of cars trying to navigate our city streets. So I look at placing bike lanes on Jarvis and University as additional disincentives, not so gently urging people to abandon their cars.


Tamil Protest in Toronto

On Sunday, May 10th, Sri Lankans upset about the terrible tragedy happening in their homeland – UN Condemns ‘bloodbath’ – held a rally which spilled over onto the Gardiner Expressway, a major downtown traffic artery.

In most cases, I admire those who get out and protest. I have spent my own time protesting for Israel and other causes. So I wondered why the activities on Sunday so disturbed me.
