Description

Mayor Olivia Chow’s version of the city budget was released this week, and one of us was there in person at the Scarborough Town Centre to hear about it. The tax rate’s a bit lower, the feds came through with some money, the police still didn’t get as much as they want. So what do we think? And what’s left to fight about? Also, some jerk disrupted a women and trans shinny game in a Toronto park, something Emma says she’s experienced as a disturbing trend this year. And one of us explains why we're lamenting the loss of diners and doughnut shops as essential hangout spots he thinks are essential to decent city life. Plus, what has four thumbs and isn’t a big fan of raccoons? Our entire panel, that’s what.
