Canada’s first subway opened along Yonge, running 4.6 miles from Union to Eglinton in 1954.
The first stretch of the Yonge Street line took four years to build and was designed to move a peak load of 40,000 people per hour in the downtown core. It opened in 1954.

Dream Daddy Sneak Peek
Chapter 2 will be live this coming Sunday, have a look at what you're missing out on!
Tumblr media
This really wasn't how it was supposed to go.
If TV was to be believed, it should have been: Home, Hotel, Hotel, Husband.
Instead, Finn had been given the boot from his parents' estate at fifteen, simply because they 'accidentally' hacked into his phone and found an embarrassing amount of gay porn in his browser history.
After that horrifying family intervention, Finn had been given two minutes to pack a bag before he was dumped on the street, and the security gate was shut firmly behind him.
As most kids his age would do, Finn headed straight for his friend's house. Unfortunately, the Demons Incarnate (his parents) had called well before he'd gotten there and warned Mr and Mrs St Clair of their son's misdeeds. As a result, Finn had been turned away.
Perhaps most spoiled rich kids in his position would have dissolved into a pile of emotions and just cried. He was definitely tempted, but his parents being the kind, compassionate people that they were hadn't even had the decency to wait and kick him out in the summer, when he wouldn't die in the frigid February night. Toronto in winter wasn't a time for Finn to sit around a mope—he'd probably freeze to death first.
Instead, Finn swallowed his emotions and forced himself to walk until he found a free Wi-Fi signal, and he promptly used it to search for nearby teen shelters. It was embarrassing, and he knew that it would suck when he got there, but at least it would be warm.
Finn found one: The Yonge Home for Boys. He raced the twelve blocks to the location, just barely managing to snag one of the last beds in the place in the process.
That night, Finn knew he was marked from the second he walked in the doors. He was clean cut, and his jeans probably cost more than the building's rent. He had top-of-the line electronics with him, and a watch that was just a step down from a Rolex. The other boys looked at him like he was a piece of meat, like they couldn't wait to corner him and punch him until he handed over the goods.
Luckily, one of the ladies noticed all of that, and covertly hid his bag and all his valuables in the staff cubby, where the boys were less likely to ransack it. Apparently even though all their valuables were collected at the door, theft was still a major problem. She never gave Finn a real reason why it was such a 'problem', and Finn figured that it might be better not to ask.
Of course, that didn't stop the boys from harassing him, nicknames like Rich Boy and Mr Priss being thrown at him from all around the room, until a blond boy stood up and shouted, “Hey! Knock it off!”

"YOUNG NEWTON BOYS MISSING ONCE AGAIN," Toronto Star. June 1, 1943. Page 11. ---- Intrepid Wanderers Last Seen on North Yonge Street Saturday ---- The Newton boys are on the loose again …
On Thursday Kenneth, nine, and Lorne, six, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Newton, Perth Ave., started out on "a walk" after school. They were found at noon Friday in Sunnyside after wandering through High park all night and subsisting on a free bun and a ride on the roller coaster. Earlier in the day they had been rescued from a tree in the flooded Humber river and sent home, but went to Sunnyside instead.
Taken home, the brothers were put in bed for punishment, but at 10 a.m. Saturday they pulled on their shirts and trousers - no underwear or sox - and started their wanderings again.
Last reports received at noon Saturday placed the boys on Yonge St. near St. Clair Ave., headed north. The brothers are both fair-haired. They are wearing green shirts.

A recent tribunal hearing found that the landlord of a Toronto condo is being forced to pay at least $8,500 to cover the costs of his “nuisance-causing” tenant.
On Feb. 10, the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) found the owner, Frank Micoli, and the tenant, Ilan Philosophe, of the Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue condo equally responsible for the tenant’s “annoying” behavior.
In the documents, CAT Vice-Chair Michael Clifton decided Micoli needs to pay $8,551.50 to cover legal costs, and both Micoli and Philosophe need to jointly and severally pay $18,239.60 to the corporation that manages the condo building.
The CAT confirmed to CTV News Toronto that this is the “highest cost order awarded by the Tribunal to date.”
According to the decision, Philosophe moved into the building in July 2021 and began to cause “nuisances, annoyances, or disruptions for other residents and the condominium’s staff.”
The “annoying and disruptive conduct” included him leaving food containers in the hallway for long periods, causing “foul smells and tripping hazards,” and “excessive noise,” the decision said.
Clifton also said there was a “consistent pattern of abuse and aggression” toward building staff and a lack of compliance with the condo’s COVID-19 regulations.
In November 2021, the legal counsel wrote to both Philosophe and Micoli to outline these concerns, the documents said. Despite that, the decision notes that the security staff recorded about 30 more incidents and received several complaints from residents.
Meanwhile, Philosophe and his lawyer argued the condo board was using the tribunal to "force" him out of the building, suggesting the case is motivated by a "personal vendetta" following an "initial altercation."
Details of the alleged altercation were not brought forward in the case, and the condo corporation denied it. Clifton said in the decision that it’s reasonable to accept it could have happened, but ultimately decided the allegation that this “entire case is motivated solely by such alleged animus is not persuasive.”
The vice chair said Micoli "barely participated" throughout the case proceedings, falling in line with the argument that he has had a "laissez-faire" attitude regarding all of the complaints made about his residents.
Consequently, Clifton said his "lack of reasonable efforts" to address Philosophe’s conduct placed the burden on the condo corporation to take matters into their own hands, including the costs of this case, which is why the vice chair thought it would be appropriate to award Micoli a "substantial portion of those costs."
According to the documents, Micoli had reportedly started to file an application to resolve an issue with Philosophe with the CAT, but the condo corporation said in the proceedings he did not end up pursuing it.
The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), which oversees landlord and tenant disputes, told CTV News Toronto it could not find any applications by Micoli to evict Philosophe.
"The unrefuted testimony of the parties is that [the condo owner] failed to take any reasonable steps to address the issue of the long-standing non-compliance," Clifton wrote.
Until he moves out, Clifton ordered Philosophe to cease all disruptive conduct while in his unit and anywhere else on the property, and Micoli to follow through on his statutory obligation to ensure his tenant respects the condo’s rules.
Rod Escayola, a partner with Gowling WLG whose practice focuses on condominium law, said this case demonstrates costly lessons for both the owner and tenant of a unit.
Speaking to CTV News Toronto about the case, Escayola said Micoli “appears to be taking the benefits of being a landlord… but they don’t want to be the ones dealing with the downside.”
Marc Goldgrub, a lawyer at Green Economy Law Professional Corporation, said the responsibility was to, first and foremost, tell Philosophe to stop the disruptive conduct or be evicted from the unit.
“He could have done that in emails, letters, and written communications; he should have CC’d the condominium corporation if he had a lot of evidence to show that he was on top of this, which he didn’t,” Goldgrub said.
Escayola said this particular case has exposed the “dysfunctional love triangle” between the condo corporation, the condo owner, and the tenant.
“And that’s because they each have a relationship with each other that’s independent of one another, so a corporation can easily regulate the owner," he said. The owner can regulate the tenant, and vice versa; there’s no real relationship between the corporation and the tenant."

One Delisle unanimously supported at Design Review Panel
Tumblr media
One Delisle was at the City of Toronto’s Design Review Panel today where it received unanimous support. For those of you who may not be familiar with the process, at the end of every DRP session the panel members -- who are all independent design professionals -- vote on the project. They can support it, support it with conditions, or they can not support it and send it back for a redesign. One Delisle received 100% support.
There were a number of positive comments around the need for more projects like this, and for better design in general, here in Toronto. That was really nice to hear. I also liked the comment that One Delisle feels like a tall building that one might find in London. And since every tall building in London has an endearing nickname -- Gherkin, Walkie-Talkie, Cheese Grater, and so on -- this too deserves one. 
So let’s find a name. I have one in mind, but I’d love to hear from you in the comment section below.

"MAN ADMITS BIGAMY AFTER WOMAN'S DEATH," Toronto Star. October 29, 1943. Page 2. ---- Man Admits Marrying Two Women, One of Whom Is Now Dead ---- "C" Police Court, at City Hall; Magistrate Prentice. Charged with bigamy, Arthur F. Ritchie pleaded guilty and was remanded to Nov. 5 for sentence.
Detective William am Bolton, who arrested Ritchie while investigating the death of Lena Metcalf, who dropped from the window of a downtown store Monday, said accused made a statement in which he said he was married first in England, his wife was living in Toronto at present, and that they had two sons. The first marriage was performed at Folkestone, Kent, on Nov. 27, 1918, according to the statement.
Accused also stated he went through a second form of marriage on Oct. 7, 1938. He testified he met Lena Metcalf while on a trip to Ireland in 1938. "She was coming to Canada to work. Later, I met her parents, and a wedding was arranged. They believed I was single." He said he first told her he was married in January, 1939.
"We had been separated for the past 10 months, as a result of arguing. I do not think it is fair to say that I drove her to nervous prostration. I had a nice home for her and I don't know why she did it."
SCRAPED STREET CAR ---- "D" Police Court at City Hall, Magistrate Pritchard. James White was fined $35 and costs or 15 days on a charge of failing to remain at the scene of an accident. He was fined $25 or 15 days on a recgless driving charge.
John Codlin, a T.T.C. operator, told the court White's truck had scraped a street car at Yonge and St. Clair and accused failed to give his name and address.
"I didn't know I had been in an accident until I reached my yard," police quoted accused as saying.
'TERRIBLE RECORD' --- "A" Police Court at City Hall, Magistrate Browne "You are building up a terrible record for assaulting people and being drunk," Magistrate Browne told James Sargent, who was convicted of assaulting Dorothy Styles. He pleaded guilty to charges of theft of coal and being drunk. On the theft count he was given two months; for being drunk he was fined $50 or two months.
On the assault charge the penalty was $20 or 30 days.
A second man, jointly charged with Sargent with theft of coal, was placed on suspended sentence.
'ALREADY HAD CHANCE' --- County Police Court, County Bldg., Magistrate Keith "She's already had a chance to rehabilitate herself," Magistrate Keith declared when he sentenced Betty McDonald to two concurrent terms of three months each. Miss McDonald pleaded guilty to assault on Mrs. Amelia Fine of Forest Hill Village and theft of clothing.
Sergt. J. T. Holbrook said Miss McDonald had been employed by Mrs. Fine to look after her children. Accused was seen by Mrs. Fine leaving the house with a valise belonging to Mrs. Fine's daughter, and when Mrs. Fine went to take back the valise she was struck on the jaw by accused, the officer said.
