Will Alsop dead at 70. “If I were a politician, I would make a law in every city that everything from the ground to 10 metres and higher should float and not touch the ground." A quote from the British architect in his obituary in The Guardian refers to his famed OCAD commission. Alsop last visited the city to see his TTC stations at Finch West and Pioneer Village:

The unrelenting adventures of the “Despacito” accordion brothers. Keeping tabs on the pair busted for busking on subway cars is getting more complicated: the first is slated for a June 1 court date; the second was ticketed $325 with the option to appear in court. A Reddit user then spotted one of the accordion guys in a confrontation with authorities, but there were no charges since he wasn’t playing at the time.

Meanwhile, the premier’s camp was promoting a video made by a group called “Women for Wynne.” One of Wynne's staffers shared the spot, leading to some confusion over its origins:

Parentela says he's taking a gamble. “I was sweating. I borrowed $4 million to do this,” he says. “I borrowed the kids’ inheritance!”

Rogers Media imagines a post-Hollywood profit margin. The annual U.S. network upfronts provide a reminder that old-school primetime is still being produced—even if demand for the shows has diminished. City TV getting deeper into the bidding for Canadian rights to American shows has proved a financial disaster on par with overpaying to air the NHL. Colette Watson, who was put in charge of trying to tidy up this mess, still has some faith:
