My Brilliant Divorce Begins
- Downstage Theatre Blog
- With the first few days of rehearsal over, Ginette McDonald and Geraldine Brophy are getting into the swing of things.

- Eye of the Fish
- The Courtenay Place Park seems more-or-less finished now, having recently unveiled the second and final stage of it’s development. A very minimal and very urban park, it’s strengths lies in the quality of the finish and detailing, as well as the enhancement of pedestrian flow within this highly-traffic area.

The Congestion Pricing Roadmap
- Eye of the Fish
- It seems that the roadmap to congestion pricing is itself congested: gridlocked by an array of obstacles and opinions. We have a $200k report/proposal, dense legal obstacles, technical challenges, a mayor that is “not even lukewarm”, and a public that is overwhelming against the issue. So what happens next? Nothing?

- Eye of the Fish
