Lisa Rochon

Thoughts from Tabatha Southey, Lisa Rochon, Elaine McCoy, Aaron Leaf and Roland Paris. Torontoist has the 14 essential video clips of G20 weekend and an interview with the hero of the one below. The Star tells the stories of the TTC employee who was tackled and the protesters who got engaged. Dalton McGuinty speaks and punts. The CCLA is considering a lawsuit. And Mark Holland wants federal compensation for business that were trashed.

In an otherwise lucid column, the normally lucid Globe architecture writer Lisa Rochon shows the danger that attends anyone who reflexively underestimates her subjects. In this case, Rochon has decided that if Calgarians don’t like a planned new footbridge by the extraordinary Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, it’s because Calgarians are heathen. Or, as she puts it, “petty, chauvinistic… whinging… childish.”
