The end is neigh?
- I am doing a Jane’s Walk next weekend and you get to pick the neighbourhood that I wonder through alleyways in.
- A new Episode of Mean, Median and Moose will be out on Monday!
- Season 2 of Council Conversations formally kicked off with a conversation with Dr. Mike Moffatt.
- The PayIt issue in Toronto is one that has jumped onto my radar. Sounds like the City of Toronto is sole-source IT infrastructure that could screw them according to some tech experts. Sound are calling it the privatization of core city services to a US hedge fund backed technology firm.
- Story popped up last summer when the sole sourcing was announced.
- Last fall PayIt announced it’s first international headquarters would be in Toronto which leads to some qui pro quo speculation that a unspoken piece of the agreement of the City sole sourcing was a HQ landing in the City.
- From my understanding the Issue goes to Council this week for final approval.
- Tomorrow is Census Day!
- Last chance to provide input on the GECDSB is Tuesday night at their finance and operations committee.
- The school board is also collecting input for their strategic priorities from 2021-25 by May the 7th. Unfortunately the online survey link is broken (who knows how long it has been broken).
- This tweet sums up the last 400ish days pretty well.
- Garden update: Potatoes are planted, rest should go in next week.
- Also pollen needs to fuck off.
- Back under 50/ 7 day average – this is good and put us on pace for a Redish level opening in a couple of weeks
