uh huh. If the Canadian Urban Institute is "dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in urban areas across Canada and internationally," why are all three winners from Toronto? Could it be TO-centrism?
A peek at the list of upcoming events on the CUI site provides a hint::
March 8, 2007 – Ghettos of the rich and the poor: Is this where Toronto is headed? March 30, 2007 – Nature Count$: Investing in Health & Wealth in Southern Ontario
May 31 – June 1, 2007 – SBO7TORONTO: New Capacity for Market Transformation
Three cheers for Matt. Spacing is one of the best magazines in Canada.
