Extra, Extra: Flood Insurance, Mad Magazine, and Jenny McCarthy ...

news

Every weekday?s end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.

Cars partially submerged during flooding on the Don Valley Expressway on July 8th.

  • How much did Toronto?s recent flash floods cost Intact Financial Corporation, one of many insurers on the hook for damages? About $170 million, according to the Post. The company is taking an even bigger hit as a result of Calgary?s floods.
  • Mayor Rob Ford made Mad Magazine. Among the mag?s ?Signs Your Mayor Smokes Crack?: ?Frequently wakes up in cities he doesn?t recognize, yelling, ?What the?I didn?t approve all these changes!??
  • Toronto Public Health, usually a fairly dignified arm of the City?s bureaucracy, is actively trying to shame The View, a daytime talk show, into rethinking its decision to add Jenny McCarthy as a host. The feud apparently stems from the fact that McCarthy has espoused anti-vaccine views.
  • Giorgio Mammoliti (Ward 7, York West), a councillor known for antagonizing colleagues in sometimes-bizarre ways, is taking a break from City Hall to cut down on stress. He underwent brain surgery in April, and is, according to the Star, under doctor?s orders to take it easy.
