Both the consistency of the Nanos rolling poll, and the capacity of parties to sneak into the lead from day-to-day, suggests there is no guessing the outcome. Election day is less than a month away. Such closeness means the transfer of only a few votes from one party to another has the potential to elect a government with very narrow winning margins. CTV
The pontiff lands in New York on Thursday as the above CBS News report outlines. Also, there is interesting commentary and analysis at this page. CNN
A man and woman, both 28, were shot and wounded as they were eating at Michael’s steak house in Simcoe Street. The original police report said the attack was done by a man, but now it seems there may have been two.

This charming picture shows pupils at Children’s Garden School on their way to a new learning adventure. CGS is at the corner of Eglinton Ave. E and Hanna Road in Leaside.
Ms. Hubbard is a notable area personality who has to be admired for her determined and eloquent efforts to bring Uber into line. She works at Beck’s Thorncliffe Park office. Today Uber still pretends to be just a humble technology company which is eager to “work with” City Hall. So learn some humility. At City Hall too many people want to talk about the new technology and how it is unstoppable. No doubt. But the issue is not technology, it’s taxis. Unlike electronic book readers, also unstoppable, digital taxis are ripe for abuse unknown to your average Kobo. Toronto Star
The City of Toronto has created a web portal that brings together information on development in the Eglinton and Yonge area. This collection of information reaches all the way to Bayview Ave. where it includes the Brown Group development for Bayview and Hillsdale Ave. Development Review
Here are the ticket drawings for the six prizes in the Leaside Rotary Charitable Foundation Raffle drawn Sunday, September 20, 2015 at the close of the corn roast. The information is a bit sketchy but the winners who gave only a phone number can still catch up with their prizes. Video
53 Division police have posted this video on their site as an example of what the police must manage.
Members of the congregation of St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church had an added duty today (Sunday, September 20, 2015). They filed out of the morning service to stand on the front steps and have their picture taken. It’s always a popular moment. The Rev. Beth Benson and Assistant Curate, The Rev. Jonathan Turtle, led the worshippers. This is the 125th Anniversary of St. Cuthbert’s and the gathering stood in front of newly refurbished doors, an anniversary capital project. Parishioners of all ages were there, some families with grandkids, parents and grandparents joyfully together. In all, there were about 100 church members posing for Anglican Journal Photographer Michael Hudson. His exploits on Bayview Ave. are seen below as he (left) tries to stop cars (centre) “drivers just don’t get it” and (right) Michael finally gets off several shots.

Toronto is the 12th costliest city in the world, according to the Swiss bank UBS. Much media has been tempted to juice this statistic a bit. But whether Toronto is “one of the most expensive cities in the world” or just the 12th such community the driver of the cost metric is housing. It is not clear if UBS understands that in Shanghai there are only two places to send your precious children. They are Toronto and Vancouver and quite often we buy them a house. But what a value it is to buy and operate a car in Toronto. It is surely better than any other great city – great city mind you. Try buying a Lexus in London. Ugh.
