What a lovely spring day, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. We’ve been to High Park several times, mostly in the summer time but I’ve never seen it in spring with the splendor and beauty of the cherry blossoms. The sight is just amazing. I am glad we ventured our way there today despite…

More on Fantasy and Reality

The rhetoric of many of the adult ed government documents I have seen, as I have said earlier, seem to address a fantasy world; a kind of reverse strawman. They build an image of adult ed that has little basis in reality and then pat themselves on the back for the achievement of a goal that they…

Naming rights to TTC stations

There's talk of selling naming rights to TTC stations. One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet, surprisingly because it is very important: they should only be allowed to name stations after things that are located near that station! For example, Museum Station is fine because the ROM is right…
