MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto Maher has come to believe metal particles are being sprayed behind airplanes by a worldwide conspiracy of governments and the powerful to engineer "global supremacy and military domination." Why this would happen is vague, and the evidence for chemtrails is nonsense, but believers in "geoengineering" expand their alternative reality to include things people like me justifiably fear, such as Alzheimer’s and Monsanto Corporation. Maher, who also arranged
chemtrail ads on the YongeUniversity subway in 2015 and 2016, says many in Toronto are open to what her group, ByeByeBlueSky, can teach. "Once you find out about it," she says, "you can’t unlearn it." I asked if she’s ever doubted the truth of what she’s learned, even for a moment, and no, she hasn’t. Neither have others who believe in chemtrails. I’m afraid for them. The shattering "truth" they’ve embraced - governments are poisoning them for profit - takes hold of their lives. How could it not? In a world of "alternative facts" and weakened traditional media, we can expect more of this. This April, Maher’s group has a booth at Toronto’s Green Living Show for the first time. Back on Bathurst, there’s no telling how many people coming in for eggs benedict or carrying bags from the No Frills across the street will fall down the rabbit hole by then.
Edges of Toronto is a column about how people see life in Toronto differently, depending on where they live. Reach Mike Adler at madler@insidetoronto.com.

I’ve always believed reality is bad enough. It’s bad enough Oswald shot Kennedy and terrorists drove airplanes into the World Trade Center. It’s awful that human beings are affecting the climate on a planetary scale and bringing on a mass extinction. But there are people here in Toronto who want, or perhaps need, something other than the reality we have. A billboard now sits on top of Steve’s Restaurant - a place at Bathurst and Wilson which serves a great breakfast - broadcasting a strange message. On it, a man with round-frame spectacles pokes at airplane contrails with a weirdly elongated index finger. "Are you kidding me," the caption says. "Water vapour?" The woman behind the billboard is Suzanne Maher, who was born and raised in North Toronto but moved to Muskoka after being diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder.
for transit in Toronto, by 2021. It doesn’t take a great deal of insight to understand the motivation for Wynne’s flip-flop. There is an election coming up next year, the Liberals are polling rock bottom, and Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown has signalled his opposition to a plan that does impact 905 voters / motorists in the pocket book. His candidates might well prevail in some of those ridings - enough of those ridings to - gasp! - defeat the government. So of course - fast as you can say "move that gas plant!", Wynne’s Liberals shifted their support from a sensible plan and replaced it with an inadequate one. It is in character, and to give Wynne and her predecessor credit for cunning if not statesmanship, it is a strategy that’s worked well for them in the past. Support for the ill-advised Scarborough subway extension cemented wins in Scarborough Guildwood in 2013. And moving the aforementioned natural gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga helped bring about a Liberal win in 2011. But what works for politics doesn’t necessarily do the job for policy. For once, Toronto Council had gathered the strength to get the policy just right, and as usual, the province played cowardly politics.
@InsideTOnews
AN ALTERNATIVE REALITY BECKONS
Cowardice. That’s the only word to describe Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s about-face last week, scuttling Toronto Council’s plan to charge a toll to drive the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway. The road tolling plan hatched by Mayor John Tory and supported by Toronto Council might not have been a perfect solution to Toronto’s financial woes - even at $300 million a year once fully in place, it wouldn’t pay for the long-term infrastructure needs of the city - but it was a giant step. Dare we say it, approving tolls was a rare courageous move on the part of a city council that has been perennially averse to approving adequate taxation levels. For some time, it seemed as though the Wynne Liberal government was on-side with the city, and prepared to grant the necessary approval, one mature level of government to another. But last Friday, the premier changed her tune, and at a news event a safe distance up the highway in Richmond Hill, told Tory and Toronto Council that the Ontario government wouldn’t be supporting road tolls in Toronto after all. Instead, she dangled funding, a gift that might have been generous under other circumstances, of $170 million a year from the gas tax,

New men’s shelter already at capacity Centre can now provide wraparound care for vulnerable residents
insidetoronto.com
JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com For more than two decades, the Christie Ossington Neighbourhood Centre (CONC) has provided vital meal, drop-in, social enterprise and other services to residents in the Bloorcourt area.
Now, it has added shelter services to its list of good works. CONC opened its new 30-bed men’s shelter at 850854 Bloor St. W. on Jan. 11, providing a place for homeless men to sleep, shower, have a healthy meal, and avail themselves of many of the other services on offer.
The shelter is fully accessible, with elevator service and wide sleeping spaces to ensure no one is left out in the cold. The new program will work in tandem with CONC’s existing meal and food access and other programs in a bid to provide wraparound care for vulnerable residents.
"We’ve been at full capacity since the third night we opened," said shelter manager Greg Rogers. "Ossington and Bloor has long been an area with a number of homeless people, and this fills a need out here." Rogers added that many of the men who stay there are working but can’t af-
ford Toronto’s high rents. Most need additional supports as well, whether it’s with something as basic as acquiring identification or more complex needs such as mental health or addiction counselling. CONC is working to l See COMMITTEE, page 11
"It’s really an opportunity for youth to learn about food preparation and the hospitality industry in a café setting," said LOFT manager Erica Thomson. "They can learn front-of-house skills (such as serving customers) or back-of-house (food preparation), and we have a four-month program that can help young people get into George Brown’s culinary program." Anna Lippman, one of the youth taking part in CONC’s programming, said the LOFT program has been extremely help-
ful as she tries to find work in Toronto. "I’m new to the area, so it’s tough finding employment," she said. "This program’s given me a chance to break into the job market, prove myself and learn new skills." CONC’s drop-in is also once again set to re-open, with health and wellness classes, art classes, community meals that feed 150 people per day, plus showers, laundry facilities and computers. "We’re open to men, women, seniors, single parents, and we see a lot of
low-income families who come here for lunch," said drop-in manager Deborah Jules. "In this area, we get a lot of seniors who come in to share a meal with others. Jules noted that the revamped drop-in space is far more open and welcoming than its previous look, which will hopefully make those using the services feel as though they’re right at home.

bridge the gaps in care by providing a number of services, including a weekly doctor’s clinic. "A lot of the guys we see have foot problems, or they need help getting medical and dental care," Rogers noted. CONC’s Breaking Barriers program dovetails housing, employment, life management and health and wellness programs to ensure the men staying there - as well as others using the location’s drop-in have holistic support. "There are a number of reasons people come to the shelter or to our drop-in, from people who need to access mental health programs to people who are new to Canada to those who just need a little extra social support," said CONC community outreach and communications manager Samantha Vite, who has been working with local stakeholders to ensure the new shelter integrates smoothly with the surrounding neighbourhood. Vite is looking to ensure the men who use CONC’s services contribute to the community. In past years, those using the LOFT Kitchen - a social enterprise to help young
people gain work skills in the food and hospitality industries - have done clean-ups and taken on other initiatives. "One way we might give back to the community is through a gardening project," she said. A committee including local residents and business owners will discuss opportunities as part of CONC’s efforts to ensure the community and shelter mesh well, though there are already signs the shelter has been welcomed by many. "We’ve had neighbours drop by bringing cookies or dropping off clothing, somebody came in and dropped off a bunch of board games for the guys the community’s been great," Vite said. CONC’s long-standing relationship with the community likely helped in that regard. The organization has operated a dropin there for some time, though that was closed for renovations as the shelter was built. LOFT has been up and running for years, and both the café (which will soon reopen after being closed for renovations on the new shelter) and the affiliated catering program have been social enterprise success stories.
