“This human experiment at Jane and Finch for the last 50 years has been a disaster.” Giorgio Mammoliti still has some things to tweet in the final days of a campaign to retain his city council seat—which every poll decidedly says he’ll lose to Anthony Perruzza. Mammoliti’s other major challenger is confident that the community can say goodbye:

Two councillors clash over why John Tory would endorse just one of them. Josh Matlow thinks the mayor simply wanted to spite him by backing Joe Mihevc—who’d prefer to believe that Tory’s preference is proactive. A similar CP24 sofa showdown, between Jim Karygiannis and Norm Kelly, found them pointing fingers at each other.

Avril Lavigne is adjusting to life after Chavril. Getting divorced twice and battling Lyme disease has helped Lavigne furnish better clickbait than when she was a teen from Napanee.

The lead-up to legalization was ultimately marked by the smell of burning cash:

Tokaroo has to remind stoners that he’s not Polkaroo. Mark Scott, who played the psychedelic Polka Dot Door character at public events for 22 years, was on As It Happens to explain that the giant spliff-smoking mascot he portrays at weed-related rallies is supposed to be educational.
