EDITOR: It’s 1954. Fictitious Bert Xanadu is the Mayor of Toronto and owner of the Imperial Six cinemas on Yonge Street. Mayor Xanadu has been governing from his twitter account for many years, and also from occasional Spacing Toronto posts straight out of the last century and into Toronto’s comedic political fray. The people of Toronto often tell me that they want to get the hell out of here. Transporting them elsewhere is, unfortunately, the responsibility of higher levels of government.
