I've created a Toronto History "starter pack" on the other site — which helps people find accounts to follow. So, if you're looking to make the switch, you'll have an easy time finding people who write about the history of our city: shorturl.at/uf1BU

The Great Depression was at its height in 1932 and, as Christmas approached, Donald Munro was out of work — so instead of buying his kids a gift, he made them one. It proved to be an international sensation. New post on the humble birth of table hockey: tinyurl.com/tablehockeyTO

This photo was taken on New Year's Eve at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto — revellers ringing in 1942. It turns out there's a wild story behind it: a tragic tale filled with scandal, war, Broadway stars & betrayal... Shared it in my annual thread over on the blue site...

He was a kid from New Toronto, born on a kitchen table in the Depression, who dropped out of high school but would become a professor, teacher, author & one of the world’s leading champions for inclusive education — and also helped me fall in love with the history of our city.

1/ This might be the most dishonest use of a 5-point likert scale I have ever seen. Holy shit this is bad. Don't know if it s @robertbenzie's interpretation or @DavidColetto's but it should be punishable by incarceration.
