Changes coming

{ Gigs }

Thanks to everyone who came out to the slam finals on Saturday, or the Mic. Check anthology launch on Monday night.

This site has grown completely out of date thanks to issues with the domain name, and problems with the blog software, so I’m going to overhaul it soon.

In the meantime, come on out next Tuesday (the 6th of May) to Cervejaria (College and Ossington) for a spoken word slugfest, when the Slam Fam and the Last Call Poets will slam against eachother with brutal love. 7:30pm, $5 - all funds will go towards the Slam Fam and our trip to Columbus for the massive Rustbelt regional slam in Columbus, Ohio in mid May.

And check back (relatively) soon for an updated site.

Miller Goes Mining

{ Columns }

Mayor brags about luring resource giant to “greenest” city in North America

In a statement from China, Miller crowed that the announcement is a further sign that Toronto is emerging as the “world leader in mining finance.”

It’s also a sign of Toronto’s split municipal personality. On the one hand, economic development staff court international mining companies for months. On the other, we’re told that this is to be the greenest city in North America.

But all the hybrid buses, lake-water-cooled condos and living roofs in the world cannot balance a scale loaded down with the immense waste and destruction of the mining industry. All that glitters is not green.
