A&W will be the Junction's lighthouse. The still not open fast-food franchise at Keele and Dundas is the centrepiece of Edward Keenan’s column about how 24-hour establishments provide eyes on the street.

Super Bowl unlikely to attain status of War Measures Act. Bell Media’s lobbying to get the feds to consider Canadian commercial substitution during the Super Bowl a matter of “urgent importance” appears to have been abandoned for the time being.
