Currently Cllr Michael Thompson is giving a somewhat stilted speech about famous Black Canadians for #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM. Gives a shout-out to downtown bookstore A Different Booklist and associated Blackhurst Cultural Centre (which moved to its current location 9 years ago today). Also recounts the recent success of the Jamaican-Canadian Association's Hurricane Melissa relief fund (supported by the City), which has raised almost $700,000, and the donation portal will be closing in about a month.
Today: a (hopefully) very short Toronto City Council meeting—Community Council stuff and a couple extras! Will do my best to follow along.

tamed down,
patent-leathered now
until it gleams
like jet—
were jet a crown."
