  2. Was just reminded how much rich people came in and took over the very vibrant and exciting hippie area of town (Yorkville) in Toronto, and made it unaffordable, dull, and lifeless.

    No one wants to be there. It became a place to be seen instead of enjoyed. It became full of artifice and bereft of culture and growth. Full of the decadence of colonizers, instead of creators.
    They are culture killers.

  7. Think it a fair bet this's what's planned for commission housing in Vic

    'existing services go down, neighbours move out, you get empty properties, they become worse-looking. The irony of these long-running regeneration schemes is the estates wind up looking much more like the sink estates they were unjustly accused of being'

  13. Well this is a bummer. I get that #FoodStamp fraud prevention is important, but I think the penalty was too harsh. And apparently, the local grocer was unable to bounce back. When I worked for the Reiche School Library, I admired what a gem Fresh Approach was for the neighborhood. Kids and teachers would gather there after school. It was (and still is) a hopping little place. And while I would love to see another local grocery store or a food co-op go into that space, considering the rent increases in #PortlandME because of #gentrification, that probably isn't going to happen.

    #FreshApproach market in Portland’s West End will close

    Chet and Peggy Knights say they weren’t able to overcome the loss in business after their SNAP license was revoked.

    by Peggy Grodinsky, May 13, 2026

    " 'With deep regret and broken hearts,” grocers Chet and Peggy Knights announced on social media Wednesday that they are closing Fresh Approach, their longtime West End store.
    The Knights have run the classic neighborhood market, located on Brackett Street opposite Reiche Elementary School, for 34 years.
    'I’m very sad to hear the news,' said Reiche teacher Kevin Brewster, who was waiting at the lunch counter for his meatball sandwich at noon Wednesday. 'It’s a neighborhood institution.' "

    [...]

    "The store lost its license to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in February 2025, after an undercover compliance agent was able to purchase ineligible nonfood items. Their Facebook post acknowledged the wrongdoing, and noted that after 11 months, the Knights were able to renew the license.

    "But that long stretch without 'a very big part of our business' took its toll. A neighborhood-sponsored GoFundMe campaign helped the beloved store survive the immediate crisis, but even at the time, the Knights said they were unsure it would be enough to save the store."

    Prosfygika Resist

    The Greek state is planning the eviction of “Oi Prosfygika” in Athens, one of the largest self-organized housing communities in Europe. This space represents collective living, social projects, and resistance against displacement.

    Since February 5, Aristotelis Chantzis has been on hunger strike. On May 1, Suzon Doppagne joined him. Both are protesting against the impending eviction and for the preservation of the community. But what exactly is Prosfygika?

    Rassurez-vous les bourgeois il n'y aura pas de #logementsociaux dans ce nouvel immeuble.

  30. FRANCE 24's Solange Mougin takes a look at France's "chicken wars", or the fast-food fight over a roasted chicken chain that's become highly political. We also dive into the nation's love of fast food, and in particular chicken. Finally, we discuss some of the many expressions in French that pay tribute to the most Gaulois of birds: the Gallus gallus, or "le poulet".
