Snoro, French Avez-vous fait votre ménage du printemps? Il n'est pas rare de retrouver des objets, anciens ou non, à divers stades de détérioration, mais avant de les jeter, le Repair Café offre de leur donner un second souffle.
Que ce soit des vêtements, des jouets ou des appareils électroniques, les bénévoles de l'organisme Repair Café s'activent à réparer les objets abîmés au cours d'une série d'événements à travers la ville, gratuitement.

Susan_Larson_TN, #Toronto is now home to the longest #rainbow #road in the world.
The new #installation from acclaimed #queer #artist #TravisMyers dubbed #TheLongWalktoEquality stretches a sprawling 600 metres, or just under 2,000 feet, across a path at #HanlansPoint on the #Toronto #Islands.

"#Toronto police say they're looking for suspects who allegedly shot at a #Jewish girls school, the Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School of Toronto , in North York Saturday morning."

LALegault, The U of T encampment just held a press conference and eloquently told them to piss off, and legally they are in the right because in Ontario Doug Ford made free speech on campus a government issue so YES folks! The Charter applies:

geoff_eg, The White Swan of Niagara (2022)
I think it goes without saying that anyone who visits Toronto and enjoys natural wonders should visit #NiagaraFalls it was definitely the highlight of my trip to #Toronto back in 2022. I desperately wanted to capture something that wasn't the 'standard' shot though. This is what I came away with, and I'm quite pleased with it. Really, you wouldn't necessarily know it's location without the title.

msquebanh, Hope’s documents, from her citizenship certificate to her original #passport, listed her country of birth as South Africa. However, when the #Toronto family went to renew her passport, the records of the Immigration, Refugees & #CitizenshipCanada system didn’t match.
“Someone at IRCC recorded on her internal record that she was born in Swaziland, not South Africa... It was an error in their system.”

Jon_Kramer, @msquebanh When I was a child I don't think Swaziland was recognized by anyone as an independent nation. I figured this was all cleared up after South Africa changed and dropped apartheid. So this should be a simple fix.
Jon_Kramer, @msquebanh my personal opinion is that the difference between governments and street gangs is scale.
kai, The light was really pretty in #Toronto today. 😊
nev, @kai it paints our ever present road construction in such delicate colours
kai, @nev I have good/bad news for you: never-ending construction is a sign that your city is alive 😅

Beltliner403, I’m old enough to remember these things being sold as candy cigarettes.
ottaross, @Beltliner403 I recall that they even have a little puff of powdered sugar from between the 'stick' and the wrapper to really get your cigarette training going.

ryancoordinator, I am volunteering with a local registered charity as 'the tech guy', you know how it is.
They need laptops for the kids. They have a little donated 3d printer, but no computer to prepare print files. I can't really teach software development and 3d printing without student laptops, right?
I am searching for donations and options.
Do you have a laptop to donate?
Do you have any suggestions?Boosts welcome, pings of sympathetic Torontonians even more welcome.

Koritsi, Senior #Toronto cop, Supt. Stacy Clarke, says she helped Black officers cheat to fight structural #racism #police #Canada
In her explanatory letter to professional standards, she wrote: “I’ve had to prove myself over and over to all the naysayers and doubters who believe my ascent through the ranks is solely due to the colour of my skin. I’ve had to jump through hoops that were created just for me.” #RacialInequity #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi
