#Flock Surveillance Coming to Rosedale in Toronto
Flock is a US company that uses AI to comb through security camera footage. They have a track record of sharing data with law enforcement and ICE without adhering to due process. Now they are expanding into Canada, with Rosedale among the first areas where they are looking to set up.
If you live in the #Rosedale area and share our concerns about what this means for your neighbourhood, we want to hear from you.

“ #Privacylaws in #Canada are far stricter than south of the border and a plan like the one proposed in #Rosedale would probably face a #legalchallenge if it were deployed.”

“For my family’s safety, I’m not waiting around for the government to fix this. Yes, it’s a complex issue. But there’s things that we can do today to help ourselves instead of waiting around,” he said. #Toronto #Rosedale #Flock www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The Guardian | Row over ‘virtual gated community’ AI surveillance plan in Toronto neighbourhood by Leyland Cecco in Toronto
Rosedale residents considering car licence plate-scanning Flock system in bid to tackle property crime
A row has broken out in one of Canada’s wealthiest neighbourhoods over plans to use an AI-powered surveillance system to create the country’s first “virtual gated community” to combat surging property crime.
Crime rates in Toronto as a whole are dropping, but residents of Rosedale have been left on edge by a sustained rise in home invasions, with robbers targeting the tree-lined neighbourhood at a rate more than double the city average. Break-ins and theft remain the third highest per capita in Toronto.

The Shah of Thorgill and His £26 Rebellion
This is Thorgill: a tributary of the River Seven, the main drainage for Rosedale. While technically a watercourse, it is perhaps better known as a hamlet, once even managing to sustain a Methodist Chapel.
Thorgill briefly staggered into the national spotlight in the 1950s, not through any great achievement, b ...

Repairing the Damage: A Belated Attempt to Save the Moors
In 1955, Bill Cowley had the bright idea of establishing a long-distance walk across the North York Moors, from Osmotherley to Ravenscar. By the late 1970s, the Lyke Wake Walk had become a rite of passage for the outdoor-obsessed, with an estimated 18,000 people a year trudging the 42-mile route. ...

Northdale’s Mysterious Stone Pig-Sty?
During my wandering around the aesthetic barns of Northdale yesterday, this little curiosity caught my eye.
A curving quadrantal chamber within a natural rock formation, adorned with two large recesses flanking the "southern" entrance and another substantial chamber gracing its northern flank. Clearly, the hands of man have toiled here, evident in the distinct dressing mark ...

Red House
According Tom Scott Burns, Red House formerly served as a tavern for wayfarers traversing the moors, likely vying with The Lettered Board Inn, or Hamer House, where those in the business of panniers, colliers, and smugglers sought reprieve during their journey.
Red House, like Hamer House, fell into ruins over the ages. While the stones of the latter have all but vanished, no doubt sa ...

Blakey Ridge and The Lion Inn: From Crutched Friars to Modern Hikers
A view across Rosedale towards Blakey Ridge. In the front, Florence Terrace, one of many rows of terraced cottages built to house the ironstone miners and their families. Rosedale's population surged in the two decades between 1851 and 1871.
Barely discernible on the distant skyline stands the Lion Inn. There are few inns more remot ...
