Hundreds of people showed up outside Queens Park Saturday afternoon to push back against the Ford government's controversial bike lane bill that would remove certain Toronto bike lanes to help address congestion. 

The Progressive Conservative government has been fast-tracking legislation that would require Ontario municipalities to ask the province for permission to install bike lanes when they would remove a lane of vehicle traffic.

The bill also goes a step further and would remove three major bike lanes in Toronto on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue.

A gay “kiss-in” demonstration Yonge and Bloor streets, Toronto, 17 July 1976

On February 9, 1976, gay activists Tom Field and Bill Holloway were arrested at the corner of Yonge and Bloor streets in Toronto for kissing in public. They were charged with obstructing the sidewalk and committing an indecent act. Ironically, the men had been posing for photographs for an article on homophobia to be published in the now-defunct newspaper Alternative to Alienation. …

Field and Holloway were found guilty of committing an indecent act by Judge Charles Drukarsh on July 13, 1976, and were each fined $50. The ruling infuriated Gay Alliance Toward Equality [GATE], the Body Politic, and members of the community. The need for protest was in the air, but only a very special kind of protest would do. 

A few days later, on July 17, GATE and the Body Politic sponsored a kiss-in to support the right for gay people to publicly show affection. About twenty people paraded in same-sex couples at Yonge and Bloor streets, kissing as they walked. Policemen watched from the sidelines, but did not intervene. The protesters had made their point. — Donald W. McLeod

Pete's Place (1980-1983) starring Pete Barbutti was a low-budget Canadian series that has pretty much vanished from the face of the earth.

Produced by CHCH Television and filmed at the Brunswick Tavern on Bloor Street in Toronto, the program featured Pete Barbutti as a cheapskate club owner who conned his guest stars – Howie Mandel, Fred Travelena, Henny Youngman, John Candy – to perform at his club for free.

“Pete’s Place took place in Vegas, but we shot it in Toronto," says Barbutti. "It was about a guy who owns a small club off the Strip in Vegas. Celebrities would come in. The mics don't work, the roof falls in, the bartender gets arrested and so on...

“We did fifty shows, thirty minutes each, and I wrote them all. The music for the opening was a little gospel song I wrote. I wanted Ray Charles to record it, but his manager was unapproachable, so I asked Bill Cosby and he said, ‘Sure.’ It was Cosby singing the opening with a sequence of a yellow Rolls Royce driving down the Strip with all the marquee lights beaming down. Car stops at a red light and the camera pans and shows me sitting in the back with a big cigar and a tuxedo. The light turns green, the Rolls drives away, and I'm next to it on a bicycle with my trumpet over the handle bars. I pedal down the Strip and I come up to this club with the same Roman Greco printing as Caesar’s Palace and it says Pete’s Palace. And then the 'A' falls down and it just says Pete’s Place."

The show aired on Monday nights at 9pm on CHCH in Hamilton, Ontario and Saturday nights at 11:30pm on CFAC in Calgary.
