Last week I sat down with Karen Sun, another candidate for Ward 19, replacing the departing Joe Pantalone. We talked about Ossington and last year’s restaurant and foodservice moratorium and the restrictions on entrepreneurial ventures which were passed to follow, as well as the surrounding parks, and residential areas, and the great mix of communities within the Ossington area.

I received a note the other day through this blog from Jim Likourezos, who is running in Ward 19 (ours) now that Joe Pants is running for Mayor (god help us if he wins) as well as a flyer in my mailbox. It’s the first candidate we’ve seen so far. […]

The Globe and Mail covered the council meeting yesterday with this article. Feel free to add to the discussion on the Globe site. […]
Today the city council met to discuss the Ossington Restaurant study and the recommendations presented by the city planner Jeff Markowiak.
