This is the dumbest motion I've ever heard.
Hey it's better than Ford's Digging for gold plan
I wish I gave the slightest shit about Toronto politics. Never seem to know what's going on.
Also, Big Smoke Burger and Burger's Priest, the two most frequently cited 'best burgers in the city' by my friends, were both abysmal experiences. Big Smoke(Eaton Centre) was staffed by children that just didn't give a fuck. Slow, terrible service. My burger was red and underdone, the toppings weren't fresh or tasty (borderline white tomato) and the bread practically soggy. Priest was overpriced, unbelievably average, left me with a shitty aftertaste and stomach heaviness, and the cashier laughed at me when I asked about secret menu items that I'd heard about from others in line. What a great way to treat your newest customer.
Both joints can go fuck themselves. Fucking McDonald's seriously has better taste and service. The next time I drop $10+ for a burger it'll be for a delicious Bull Burger at the Black Bull patio this summer. Still the best I've had in town.
Edit-let me add, Priest's fries were fucking disgusting. Oily, oversalted bullshit. Bull's sweet potato fries are heavenly.

Ol' Craft Burger on King St W was okay, but it was expensive for the quality of burger. Not sure about the Eaton's location. But agreeing on Burger's Priest. Pretty terrible for the size of the burger, the soggy small pack of fries and the grumpy staff. But people line up for things like Burrito Boyz too. No opinion can be trusted.
And yes, I don't like the trend of $10-15 burgers in the city. Burger Shoppe on the east end is still our favorite, but it's out of the way for us most times. BQM on Queen W is okay, but it's expensive and not the same quality.
Pretty close to us, but we've never tried it. Might drop by on the weekend.

I'm not watching the video stream, but the live coverage I've been reading seems to show that the right wing of council is slowly losing (even more of) their minds today.

Always be wary of peoples opinion when it comes to expensive or above market products. Almost everyone feels the need to justify the money they spend and don't want to feel like an idiot, especially if they're a repeat customer.

Craft/Big Smoke is so overrated it's scary. I also find BQM burgers really small and bland.
Best burgers in the Downtown/West area are:
Murrays (Queen/Spadina)
Gourmet Burger Co. (Adelaide/University-ish)
The Thompson Diner (King/Bathurst)
When I was working at Humber College a few years ago the super of the job took us all to Royal Meat on Kipling and N Queen. It wasn't bad at all but after eating a 1lb burger and sweet potato fries there was no way in hell I was doing anything the rest of the afternoon. If you guys ever come up to Scarborough then definitely check out Johnny's on Victoria Park and Sheppard.
It's practically a Scarborough institution. It was where I took my first date in Grade 9. Ah the memories.
I can't eat beef at McDonalds anymore, but the chicken goes down alright. They also have better 'low end' coffee than Tim's, and the coffee + muffin is like a dollar cheaper than Tim's.
Has anyone been receiving phone calls from Las Vegas? I've gotten three calls in the span of a month, and a voice message was left on my phone on the one time. It's one of those scam trips that I "won", or something along those lines. I'm assuming the other two are the same as well.
No but I did get a random text saying that I won $275K today.
Cho is amazing. He just opened a Twitter account.
The only spam calls I get are from our bank. Thankfully.

Yes (on my cell). I don't pick up.
I used to get those all the time. You can get them to stop calling you.
I don't answer my phone for 1-800 numbers or any area code I don't recognize.
Cho is one of my favourite councillors. So great.

What a fucking disaster this meeting is. Ford cronies line up with bullshit motions and keep asking stupid questions just to stall the entire process, and now Ford wants to move the entire thing to April.
Yes. Although I didn't watch most of it.

Part of me has a bad feeling they're going to get their way, and as a result we'll end up getting nothing again.
Guess I never really want burgers, even during bbqs I go for stuff like wings and shishkebabs.
Ford and Mammolliti are acting like bitchy kids who have tantrums whenever they don't get their way and nobody agrees with them. Instead of letting the city move on they're going to ~stick to their guns~ out of ego.

I tried holy chuck (my old hood, Yonge/st. Clair). Decent, nothing special in my humble opinion.

What is better? ):
Well let's hope not. It's the dumbest debate so far. If this hadn't become a political issue all of this crap would have passed without a second glance. Now we have conservative councillors putting every possible conceivable tax forward as options like some sort of bizarro city council spectacle as if we were to believe that any of them gave a crap about this. The progressives are also in opposite land, but their arguments at least are based on facts and not shitty lying pamphlets.
And now there are people using tonight's incident (some cyclist ran a red light and got killed by a streetcar on St. Clair) as a political tool to argue against the LRT.

And how many idiots jump in front of a subway each year?
At least 25, from what I have heard in the past.
I wonder how many drivers, pedestrians and cyclist are killed by cars every year. OUTLAW CARS

I went to my Great Grandmother's funeral yesterday. She was 102 when she died. I was trying to picture what the streets of Toronto looked like when she was in her 20s.

Ah, my condolences.
I was chatting with Rick Halern at the Gwailo dinner last week and we were talking about the ridiculous growth Toronto experienced in the last few decades. He was talking about how when he was younger, Buffalo was the "Big City" and how it dwarfed Toronto. Now even Mississauga is bigger than Buffalo.
