Torburghalo
I continue to wonder why there is so little notice of greater Toronto in regional thinking here. I guess that international border still looks imposing. But Toronto is just a few hours away by car... ok, maybe 5 hours, but a drive. You really could reuse many a Toronto headline of late here. Toronto Star just last week: Manufacturing in Ontario must be different than past. Also note Toronto is more national news: NYT: Toronto's Ethnic Buffet.
Our more kindred industrial neighbor, Hamilton, Ontario, has been in the news of late with some similar themes there as well. See the Hamilton Spectator: Hamilton reaps benefits from immigrants. Also check out the launch of a Hamilton crowdfunding site aimed at generating venture capital. Or take this (via @burghdiaspora) on the reference to how "Steeltown has been acquiring a post-industrial, hipster reputation of late...."
Then there was this from 3 years ago: How Canada became an open data and data journalism powerhouse. That and I am sad to admit that the book store scene in Toronto puts Pittsburgh to shame.

It's the same distance as DC. (I mean, it's a Dash-7 hop) The change in emphasis can only be explained by the presence of that bike trail to DC. Perhaps when we get a bike trail to Toronto...
Yinzers don't have passports.
You don't need a passport to go to Canada. Just to get back into the United States from Canada.
