PLAYING THE BLUES: Jack de Keyzer performs a set and talks on the history of the blues, during the Winterfolk Blues and Roots Music Festival at Black Swan Tavern Sunday. The festival hosted performances at a number of venues along Danforth Avenue.

Beaches-East York MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith has been selected to represent Canada on the Inter-Parliamentary Union

(IPU), an international orga-nization comprised of more than 140 parliaments from around the globe.

Erskine-Smith, who was

nominated and acclaimed for a one-year term as the Canadian group’s president/chair Jan. 27, said he views this opportunity as a chance

to help restore Canada’s role and standing on the world stage.

He said he’s looking forward to helping bring

attention to key issues his government strongly believes in on a global scale, notably human rights.

The Pocket Community Association is hosting a neigh-bourhood skating party Sunday afternoon.

The event will include skating from noon to 2 p.m. and hockey from 2 to 3 p.m.

All are welcome to come out and enjoy the skating, along with hot chocolate, cider, and treats/snacks.

Funds raised from the event will go toward the construc-tion and maintenance costs of the outdoor skating rink in the parkette.

Volunteers are needed to help with the barbecue, fire pit, and music/games among other things.

“I’m excited for the future and I’m looking forward to rep resenting Beaches-East York, but also representing the country as a whole,” Erskine-Smith said during a recent inter-view.

On Feb. 8 and 9, the Beaches-East York MP was one of two Canadian rep-resentatives who took part

in a two-day parliamentary hearing on the global war on drugs at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

While there, Erskine-Smith spoke about alter-natives to incarceration for dealing with the issue and Canada’s approach to making marijuana regu-lated instead of viewing it through a criminal lens.

“I think we can help move the global view of the public,” he said, pointing to directions taken that are based on evidence from a harm-reduction perspec-tive.

In March, Erskine-Smith will be attending a global conference on engaging youth in politics along with upward of 650 parliamen-tarians in Zambia. While

there, he’ll also be giving the opening address on behalf of the Canadian del-egation.

Erskine-Smith has also recently been appointed to serve on the public safety and national security as well as access to informa-tion, privacy and ethics committees.

At top, volunteers organize the cookies during the Guinness World Records attempt for the Largest Cookie Mosaic Monday at Evergreen Brick Works. Centre, vol-unteer Tyson Coady organizes the treats. Below, once the title was achieved everyone was invited to take a bite out the record-setting mosaic.

The challenge was taken up by the Robin Hood Baking Team on Family Day in support of We Bake for Change, an initiative of WE Day. The sweet mosaic was made up of more than 13,000 shortbread cook-ies and designed to resemble a map of the world. Each cookie was individually wrapped to help coun-ter any food wastage. After the record was established the cookies were shared with guests and local food banks.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau celebrated his milestone of 100 days in office by marking what he hopes will be a new milestone for Canadian

youth. Trudeau wants to get close to 70,000 youth working this summer, and the federal Liberals are committing massive amounts of money over the next three years to make that a reality.

On Friday, he made a surprise visit to Toronto’s Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club where he announced the government would be injecting $113 million each year for the next three years to get young people in the workforce.

The Canada Summer Jobs program provides fund-ing to not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees in an effort to help create summer job

opportunities for students.The Trudeau government is

on the right track to setting up students for success.

When people are offered help, there tends to be a ripple effect. Support gives rise to more sup-port, and a spirit of giving and receiving is created.

At the centre of this decision is not political popu-larity, but an understanding that empowering youth today will make them the engaged adults of tomor-row. They will learn life skills by doing them.

They will learn co-operation and interpersonal skills by dealing with employers, customers, and co-workers. They may develop meaningful friendships, build savings, and start dreaming of a future of pos-sibilities.

A job today equals an education tomorrow. A job today allows one to support her family in tough eco-nomic times. A job today gives a young person hope.

The federal funding will be distributed to Canada’s 338 ridings. Areas that have higher levels of unem-ployed youth will get more funds.

The program funds job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year.

Employers and students interested in the program can visit servicecanada.gc.ca/csj for more informa-tion. The application period for Canada Summer Jobs 2016 has been extended until March 11, so there is still time to get involved.

Summer jobs can inspire positive futures for youth

There have been few issues at Toronto City Hall so consistently suffused with sadness as the Uber-X ride sharing fight with taxi driv-ers has been this past 18 months or so.

From the outside, it’s been easy to confuse that sadness with rage. At the early February meeting of Toronto council, taxi driv-ers’ rage was certainly on display: several had to be removed from the council chamber as they watched councillors step away from seeking an immediate court injunction to stop Uber-X from operating in the city.

Last week, Paul Sekston, one of those taxi drivers, took that anger to the air-waves and announced the new United Taxi Workers’ Association would be stag-ing a protest to disrupt the NBA All-Star Game and run-up to it. It would have been a bad scene had it happened, but it didn’t. The same day, Feb. 11, he and other members of the taxi industry had a

sit-down with three city councillors – Janet Davis, Glenn De Baeremaeker and Kristyn Wong-Tam – after which, they decided to call it off. What clinched it? They simply needed to hear city councillors say aloud the thing that is undeniably true. Uber-X, as it’s cur-rently operating in the city, is illegal. And there it was: the heart of the sadness beating beneath the crum-bling front of rage.

Taxi drivers, or at least Sekston, need if not a hug, then at least some clear allies in what they perceive, correctly, as the fight for their vocational lives.

Mayor John Tory has tried to provide some assurance after he mused about the inevitability of disruptive technologies in a way that seemed to be giving Uber-X a moral if not entirely legal break.

And from the perspective of taxi drivers seeing their livelihoods dry up, Uber-X has gotten an easy ride from almost everyone else on the legal front. Yes, it’s complicated. When cab drivers came to the Toronto Police Services Board demanding more drivers be charged, Chief Mark Saunders explained doing so en masse is legally and operationally challeng-ing. And when cab drivers demanded Toronto enforce its own bylaw – passed just last fall – setting up requirements for Uber-X’s continued operation that the ride-sharing app and the drivers who use it couldn’t and wouldn’t meet, council demurred. Again, it was for strategic reasons: if an injunction can’t be heard for three months, and the city’s new regulations governing ride-sharing apps will be before council in two, the entire matter may become moot. Meanwhile, Uber Canada continues its charm offen-

sive, delivering kittens to stressed-out office workers and experimenting with shuttle services to under-served communities near the downtown – and, of course, by undercutting taxi fares for customers who are becoming used to trading fare savings for the invisible risks of riding an unregulated service.

And to add to the sting: the Toronto licensed taxi model isn’t a sterling alter-native. While taxis are regu-lated, the vehicles more rigorously inspected and drivers more comprehen-sively insured, Toronto’s system of commodified plates and absentee owners still makes for an ugly feu-dalism under which drivers work now. It’s been awful to watch, no doubt awful to live, and it’s hard to see anything near a happy ending to it all.

Call it the funding gift that keeps on giving: the TTC announced this week it is expanding service on almost 40 bus routes, particularly during rush hour.

The move, made possible with the introduction of 50 buses, comes out of a funding boost granted by the city to the transit commission last year that worked out to $95 million more for operational improvements. The money has helped pay for everything from more frequent service in non-peak travel times to the expansion of the Blue Night bus network.

For a full list of improved routes, visit www.ttc.ca

wFREE UP EXPRESS RidES ATTRACT CROWdS

Long lines were spotted inside Union Station’s Great Hall over the holiday weekend to take advantage of a special promotion for the Union Pearson (UP) Express.

Following the release last week of disappointing rider-ship numbers for the new ser-

vice linking downtown with Pearson Airport, Metrolinx announced free rides for the weekend and the result was a record number of customers getting on the train.

With heavy scrutiny coming from all corners, including Premier Kathleen Wynne, it’s destined UP’s fare prices will see some kind of cut.

wEXHiBiT TRACES SUBWAY HiSTORY

Just as the Bloor line gets ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary, an exhibit traces the development of Toronto’s subway network.

Tunnel Vision: The Story of Toronto’s Subway is a collec-tion of historical maps, photos, and artifacts tracing the his-tory of underground transit, starting with the opening of the Yonge line in 1954.

The collection is pre-sented in partnership with

the Toronto Transportation Society and will be on display at the St. Lawrence Market Gallery, located on the second floor of the market at 95 Front St. E., until June 11.

wdAVENPORT RESidENTS STUdY BRidgE OPTiONS

Options for Davenport, the resident group opposed to Metrolinx’s plans for a rail bridge in the neighbourhood, launched its own environ-mental assessment for the project.

The group launched the study titled Our EA, Our Say at a launch party last week. Unlike the official EA, which will take six months to com-plete, the group said its study will focus on underground options already ruled out by Metrolinx for eliminating the Davenport Diamond rail crossing.

TO in TRANSIT

Making sense of the City of Toronto budget is not an easy thing, but it is not impos-sible.

The city staff and our local councillors make consider-able effort to summarize it. There were several town hall and community meetings during January to review its contents.

One was held at East York Civic Centre, where a group of concerned citizens were given a detailed overview of the proposed structure of the 2016 budget.

At this point the budget is still at the consultation stage. It still has to go to city council for final debate and approval, so it is far from complete.

The key points regarding the 2016 budget lay in the areas of public transportation, service improvement, and infrastruc-ture expansion.

However, there are still key issues that need to be addressed due to the urgency of many of the public concerns they cover. For example, there is a poverty reduction strategy that has been proposed, but while it sounds good on paper, it is still underfunded.

Poverty in Toronto is a

growing issue as many groups in different locations around the city remain marginalized from the economic benefits that are offered here.

Likewise, the city still remains behind most modern urban centres when it comes to having a truly effective public transportation system.

Rather than expanding, child care in the city was actu-ally reduced by one per cent last year, which may not seem a large number, but the effects are noticeable.

Toronto Community Housing continues to be a public embarrassment as the city’s public housing needs repairs that are months, if not years, behind schedule. Our wonderful resource of parks and the associated equipment remains precariously under-funded, while more and more people come to use them.

Critical services, such as the city’s fire prevention opera-tions, remain underfunded despite the city’s increasing population.

This past week’s cold snap underscores the fact that the city’s emergency cold weather drop-in service is being pushed to its limits.

Major transportation ini-tiatives, such as Mayor John Tory’s SmartTrack proposal, are at risk of being shelved or seriously downgraded as there are no funds to finance them.

Plans to revamp the rap-idly deteriorating Gardiner Expressway are no further ahead, despite being approved by council, simply due to a lack of funding.

On top of all of this, there is $30 million in “ordinary” capital projects that are on hold due to lack of funding.

Only 34 per cent of the operating costs come from property taxes. The majority of the money paid out goes to emergency services, trans-portation, infrastructure, and core services. Not frivolous items as some would have you believe.

There is no gravy.

danforth ride-by

Staff photos

ALL IN A DAY’S WORK: These hardy cyclists are westbound on the Danforth participating in last Friday’s chilly fourth annual International Winter Bike to Work Day. The route, which kicked off from Alexander the Great Parkette (at Logan Avenue), went to Bay Street with cyclists dropping out when they reached their place of work. While it was cold with Toronto temperatures not making it past minus-four, it was nowhere near the deep freeze on Saturday and Sunday with ‘highs’ of minus-16 and minus-10, respectively, according to Environment Canada. At left, Sylvia Slaughter, right, her husband Jason and son Max, 5, lead the ride. Above, the ride is underway on the Danforth.

The Leaside Wildcats have made incremental strides every year they’ve been in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), which fea-tures the best junior women’s hockey players in the prov-ince.

This year, however, could be termed a huge leap forward no matter the result of their final regular season game this Sunday, Feb. 21 against arch rival (and longtime city powerhouse) the North York-based Toronto Aeros.

That game is set for this Sunday at 3:40 p.m. at Leaside Arena.

Leaside heads into the game with 53 points out of 37 games while Toronto, with a game in hand (host-ing Brampton Saturday at 3 p.m.) sports 51 points in 36 games.

That was good enough to leave Leaside tied for second place in the 20-team league (Top 16 make the playoffs).

Unfortunately for Leaside, they’re unlikely to hold on to that lofty position, for two reasons:

One, they’re in the midst of a bit of an uncharacteristic late-season swoon, having lost three of their last four games (albeit, all against strong opposition).

And, two, Leaside is in a

gaggle of seven teams, that heading into the final few days of the regular season, were all within four points of each other and fighting for positions two through eight (with Durham West having long nailed down first place). But all of those six other teams had one or two games in hand on Leaside.

This Sunday’s game at Leaside Arena closes out the PWHL regular season so both Leaside and Toronto will know their playoff seeding the moment the final buzzer sounds.

In their fourth year, Leaside’s best finish prior to this year was 12th place last season with 33 points.

Benefits of Listing with Teuta....√ Free Painting √ Free Staging

Seller TestimonialIf you think that first impressions make a difference, I strongly suggest that youhire Teuta Guci. Her tenacity, hard work, dedication, smile and talent havemade a big difference in my life. I interviewed three agents, two of whichare well known in the area. Neither of them suggested and took the energyto transform my old house into a beautiful showpiece like Teuta did. Theseimprovements resulted in my home selling for almost $180,000 more than thoseagents suggested I would get for my house. Teuta works with passion and herwork ethic is unparalleled within this industry.
