Checking out the Personality Profile of Prospective Presidents. This would be fun to do for the next Canadian election. Or for your own personality...

Toronto's future. Well, one possibility for Toronto's future that will be partially, and badly implemented.

Toronto's Past. Well, fictional past and how it intersects with the real past. The TPL has done a great job of thinking about the book and how it impacts Toronto. See here for all sorts of cool toys, incl. an annotated chapter, a guided walking tour both by map and speaking tour (via mp3), a map of the old city, etc. Spacing Wire is getting in on this too. The role of cemeteries in the book, riverdale, old buildings, Toronto Islands, etc.

Loss of Toronto's Past in the Present. Bye Bye Duke's.

Cool Art on Ugly Road. Great explanation of the Harbour Commission building as well
