William Peyton Hubbard (1842-1935)
‘Old Cicero’ was Toronto’s first black city councillor
By Roger Hunziker
It is a dark and dreary evening in the early 1860s. Young Will Hubbard is driving his cab down Don Mills Road when he sees a man in danger of plunging into the cold waves of the Don River. Hubbard jumps out and saves the man from drowning: it is George Brown, famous editor of the Globe newspaper, and future Father of Confederation. In gratitude Brown hires Hubbard as his driver, and over time a friendship develops. Much later, the fatherly Brown would urge his young friend to enter politics, which Hubbard finally does in 1893.

KENK
april 2010 by rtlechow
"Kenk: A Graphic Portrait is a groundbreaking 304-page journalistic comic book detailing the life and times of Igor Kenk, "the world's most prolific bicycle thief" (The New York Times and The Guardian). In Summer 2008, Kenk was arrested and nearly 3,000 bicycles were seized in one of the biggest news stories of the year. Built from more than 30 hours of never-before-seen intimate footage taken over the year leading up to his arrest, Kenk is a thought-provoking and surprisingly funny portrait of an outsize neighbourhood figure and a city in flux, both wracked by the forces of gentrification and by a burgeoning global environmental and economic crisis that promises to define our generation."

"Indeed, that kind of urban cyclist and others more advanced in bike-know-how will be able to hop into this colourful building on Cecil Street, east of Spadina, and use the tools that owner, Anthony Darcy, will have available to cyclists to perform quick fixes themselves. After you've wiped the grease off your hands, Sonic steps in with a hot cup of organic coffee as well as light, homemade fare and a rooftop view of the 510 streetcar bustling up and down Spadina."
