Your morning news roundup for Friday October 26th, 2007:
Much like the changing skyline might suggest, the population of the Toronto downtown core is surging. Apparently we're also seeing smarter, richer, and childless (i.e. smarter) people in the core.
Police arrested cardboard boxes that robbed several GTA businesses. The shrub got away on tippy-toes.
Tax our homes, tax our cars, but for the love of fermentation, don't tax our booze any more!
In Brampton, Rogers launched a trial of the fastest wireless internet services in the country. Now if only they'd make using the mobile internet services affordable people might actually benefit.
Construction project delays have Regent Park residents, who have been relocated during the revitalization of the community housing, wondering when they'll be moving back
Despite the city's financial woes, firefighters got a pay raise. The media didn't notice because at the time we were focused on the "support our troops" sticker issue. Anyone else want a smokescreen and a raise?

That cardboard box thing is so Metal Gear! Except Snake doesn't get caught.
And I gotta say I'm pretty happy with my 7mbit wired connection. Be nice if we paid the same prices as the Dutch, though, who get way more for way less.
Ooooo ooooO, and I'd LOVE a raise.
Childless = smarter? Ahh controversy so early in the mornin'!
At what point do Torontonians finally stand up and say is enough is enough to Miller?
The cardboard box trick is an old NYC graffiti writer move. One guy wheels a box up to a wall on a push cart, then the guy inside the box folds back a flap next to the wall and spray paints his tag. Then they close the flap and wheel away the box, and nobody saw a thing.
