You’ve heard of Autumn in New York? This is Toronto in the Ice Box. Upper left, transit wonks are saying that a third of Toronto’s streetcars are so stiff they can’t leave the barns. There are allegedly breaks in the tracks as well. Please don’t get us started on trolley technology. Upper right, this shot of unknown origin shows a mystery ice monster in the bay. Who are you? Below that, a newly-installed sign outside the Better Living Centre where the City has set up warming accommodation for those unable to get into a shelter. We trust that the tireless outreach people are ferrying such hapless souls down there. Centre left is the Toronto Fire Service icebreaker keeping the ferry channel open. And bottom left, a reminder that you may not be permitted to skate at Nathan Phillips Square because of the cold. Lower right, a majestic shot of the frozen bay and skyline.
