  • Postcard from Plaguetown: SARS and the Exoticization of Toronto Carolyn Strange
    12 Postcard from Plaguetown: SARS and the Exoticization of Toronto Carolyn Strange ‘“Bad news travels like the plague. Good news doesn’t travel well”’. While this epigram might have appeared in an advertising or marketing textbook, they were the words a Canadian politician chose to explain why the federal government sponsored a Toronto rock concert in the summer of 2003. As the Senator stated, 3.5 million dollars was a small price to pay for an event held to restore confidence in a city struck by SARS. The virus – first diag- nosed in Toronto in March 2003 – had already claimed 42 lives; interna- tional media coverage of the outbreak had strangled the economy. While public health officials imposed quarantine and isolation measures to combat the spread of SARS bureaucrats and business leaders were equally active, treating the virus as an economic crisis caused by negative publicity. ‘SARSstock’, as locals dubbed the concert, was one of many events pre- scribed to repair and revitalize the city’s image post-SARS. By drawing close to half a million fans with big name musicians, including The Rolling Stones, it provided Canadian and US newspapers and television outlets with a splashy ‘good news’ item. Local media commented that the concert gave Torontonians a much-needed tonic. As the Toronto Star declared, it proved to the world that ‘life and business here rock on’.1 When the World Health Organization (WHO) issued its advisory against ‘unnecessary travel’ to Toronto in April 2003, not only suspected SARS car- riers but the city itself felt borders close around it, cutting off vital flows of traffic to the city.2 It is thus possible to frame the economic consequences of SARS within the longer history of quarantine, cordons sanitaires and their commercial dimensions (as Hooker also argues in Chapter 10).

  • 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).

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

    What’s Out There? Toronto - 1 - What’s Out There - Toronto The Guide The Purpose “Cultural Landscapes provide a sense of place and identity; they map our relationship with the land over time; and they are part of our national heritage and each of our lives” (TCLF). These landscapes are important to a city because they reveal the influence that humans have had on the natural environment in addition to how they continue to interact with these land- scapes. It is significant to learn about and understand the cultural landscapes of a city because they are part of the city’s history. The purpose of this What’s Out There Guide-Toronto is to identify and raise public awareness of significant landscapes within the City of Toron- to. This guide sets out the details of a variety of cultural landscapes that are located within the City and offers readers with key information pertaining to landscape types, styles, designers, and the history of landscape, including how it has changed overtime. It will also provide basic information about the different landscape, the location of the sites within the City, colourful pic- tures and maps so that readers can gain a solid understanding of the area. In addition to educating readers about the cultural landscapes that have helped shape the City of Toronto, this guide will encourage residents and visitors of the City to travel to and experience these unique locations. The What’s Out There guide for Toronto also serves as a reminder of the im- portance of the protection, enhancement and conservation of these cultural landscapes so that we can preserve the City’s rich history and diversity and enjoy these landscapes for decades to come.
