  • Friend of Ex Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Ill As Trial Sputters

    Friend of Ex Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Ill As Trial Sputters

    Friend of ex Toronto mayor Rob Ford ill as trial sputters THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO – A hearing into drug charges against a friend of former Toronto mayor Rob Ford began Tuesday with the accused a no show, one count against him withdrawn, and his co-accused making an extraordinary request to be excused from trial. Alexander (Sandro) Lisi, who was also Ford's sometimes driver, was ill and did not appear for what was to be the start of the trial, forcing a premature end to the day's hearing. His lawyer, Domenic Basile, told court Lisi sufers from vertigo and his mother said he had been throwing up. ``It could be a few hours. It could be a few days,'' Basile replied when Ontario court Judge Ramez Khawly asked when Lisi would be well enough to attend. Ultimately, Khawly put the hearing over until Wednesday, warning that if Lisi did not appear, ``all bets are of.'' Lisi, 36, was charged in October 2013 as the ``crack video'' scandal engulfed the notorious former mayor, now a city councillor. The charges against him and co-accused Jamshid Bahrami – both are out on bail – arose as police investigated Ford amid reports of a video that apparently showed him smoking crack cocaine. At the time, Ford called Lisi a ``good guy'' and expressed shock at the charges. In a highly unusual request, Bahrami, a west-end dry cleaner, asked to be excused from the trial. Bahrami, 47, sufers from a chronic, degenerative form of rheumatoid arthritis that leaves him in constant pain, said his lawyer, Jacob Stilman, adding his client's condition would never get any better.

    THE FALSE PANACEA of CITY CHARTERS? a POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE on the CASE of TORONTO Andrew Sancton

    Volume 9 • Issue 3 • January 2016 THE FALSE PANACEA OF CITY CHARTERS? A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE CASE OF TORONTO Andrew Sancton SUMMARY Toronto is unlike any other city, as its local boosters will not hesitate to point out. That was the basis, after all, of the “charter movement” that demanded special rights for a mega-city that the movement’s backers insisted was so vital that it even warranted a status similar to that of an entire province. Their efforts culminated in the province’s passage in 2006 of the City of Toronto Act, which appeared on its face to grant the metropolis the power it believed it required and merited. In reality, the Ontario government may have actually set Toronto back, leaving it more at the mercy of provincial power than other smaller municipalities. The few additional taxation powers that were granted by the ostensible Toronto “charter” — the City of Toronto Act — are, in reality, still overseen by the province, which retains the right to limit those revenue tools if it considers it “desirable in the provincial interest to do so.” But while Toronto may have been given just a small number of revenue tools, which it has used only sparingly, and the use of those tools is ultimately decided by Queen’s Park, their very existence has given the province licence to sidestep the city’s calls for more funding. The provincial Liberals have, in the past, insisted that Toronto make use of its own taxes before it demands more provincial funds. Meanwhile, the City of Toronto Act did nothing to curtail the power of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

    Seven priorties for the new TCHC Special Working Group, from engaging tenants, to enlisting experts. It has members and a mandate, and now the new Special Working Group on the Toronto Community Housing Corpo- ration (TCHC), chaired by Councillor Ana Bailão, has about six months to chart a financially sustainable future for the city’s biggest landlord. The Special Working Group was created after Toronto City Council voted to reject a scheme proposed by the TCHC Board for a massive sell-off of affordable homes to finance a growing capital repair bill. This backgrounder from the Wellesley Institute sets out seven key priorities facing the Special Working Group. 1.

    Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 24, 2016 211 John Lorinc, Michael McClelland, Ellen Scheinberg and Tatum Taylor, eds. The Ward: The Life and Loss of Toron- to’s First Immigrant Neighbourhood (Toronto: Coach House Books, 2015), 320 pp., ISBN: 978-1552453117. While there is a substantial body of literature about the history of Toronto, works depicting life in ethno-cultural neighbourhoods, with the exception of Spadina, are rare. This volume helps fill the gap. It is composed of sixty short essays, by approx- imately fifty authors, including the editors. The pieces display a diversity of themes, writing styles, descriptions, analyses, and laments. The collection makes for fascinat- ing and informative reading, for scholars, students and the general public. It pro- vides more than a snapshot of the life and times of Toronto’s first gathering place for immigrants and industrial workers. Maps, photos and sketches bring the text to life. John Lorinc is a journalist and author of three books. His introduction provides a valuable and concise history, and his five essays discuss specific aspects of that histo- ry. Michael McClelland is an architect whose essay on “Alternative Histories” closes the volume. Ellen Scheinberg is a past director of the Ontario Jewish Archives who contributes seven essays, five of which spotlight Jewish life. Tatum Taylor is a com- munity preservationist whose essay is on storytelling. The Ward was the shortened name of St. John’s Ward, land that been donated by the Macaulay family, part of the Family Compact of Upper Canada, situated north and west of Yonge and Queen Streets, which were the limits of Toronto in the 1840s.

    (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016

    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.
