Adam Bunch is the F'n man! I hope the right people notice the amazing storytelling he does for this city

It's a pity you couldn't come to see cherry blossoms in their splendor in Vancouver. I mean, they're not just in parks and the viewing season is widely celebrated here on a scale much larger than in Toronto.

It was war, stop going back through history with the red pen of modern morality.

It's hard to believe that such open bigotry and prejudice existed so recently in Canada...

Equally beautiful is the massive Japanese Canadian Centennial Temple Bell at Ontario Place, now removed by the Doug Ford Conservatives to make way for a beauty parlour.

It was 21,000 Japanese Canadians to be more exact.

Victoria has had Sakura trees since before the war. More than one thousand were planted throughout Victoria in 1937 to commemorate Victoria's 75th anniversary of incorporation.

My favourite place to see them is at Cherry Street and Villiers. Helps I live nearby but it's compact and not as busy as other locations.
