Nanos rolling poll shows three parties still neck and neck
by •
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

Star profiles Beck Taxi’s Uber nemesis Kristine Hubbard
by •
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

St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church takes 2015 “family picture”
by •
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.
