Hey Toronto - think the City should have more autonomy in its decisions?
There’s a report on Municipal Autonomy and Effective Local Governance coming before Toronto’s Executive Committee.

Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates.
Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term.
In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!”
For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films.
Happy Halloween 2026.

For all the amateur police officers in the crowd. I also watched a lot of cop shows and have feelings but I am willing to heed somebody who did the job and knows the law
That is a fair question, Phil. First, a gunshot victim is not required to answer police questions and can refuse to cooperate. The information at the time was that the man who went to the hospital may have been shot in the chest or shoulder. A gunshot wound alone, refusing to speak, or police simply not believing him or thinking he was lying, would not, by itself, justify an arrest. To detain someone, police need reasonable grounds to suspect a connection to a specific offence; to arrest them, they need reasonable grounds to believe they committed it. If there was no reliable suspect description he matched, or other evidence connecting him to the home invasion, police may have had to obtain his information and continue investigating. It’s not unusual for someone who may be involved in a crime to seek medical treatment and decline to speak with police. A person’s lie or refusal to answer, by itself, doesn’t establish grounds to arrest them. Investigators have to let the evidence develop and tell the story.

I would love to know who introduced the water idea to the Bradford campaign, because I doubt it came from Brad. Somebody was planting a seed that they had an interest in taking root, and it was a significant own goal.
Why Chow confounded pollsters & campaign critics to handily beat Bradford, from @TorontoStar's mighty city hall bureau. “The water issue was too hot, it boiled over. He couldn’t handle it or figure out how to turn down the temp. We were relentless with it" thestar.com/news/gta/city-ha…
