Now there's a game that doesn't go cheap. (I have it... wish I hadn't thrown out the box.)
Try A&C games on Spadina, south of Bloor. That's the best place to get rare games.

Good luck with finding Earthbound, I hear it is pretty expensive.
I think I still got my cartridge laying around somewhere AND I have the game guide that came with it as well. It's still in pretty good condition.

Nothing can bring back those killed, but it's very satisfying to see both these (alleged) killers caught so quickly.
Very strange for the Eaton Centre shooter to turn himself in though, if it was indeed a gang-related shooting.

That's probably why the police didn't release his name until they had him in custody.
His family is pretty scared for their own safety right now, though.
One of the articles on the star says that both the shooter and the victim were associated with the same gang.
That makes sense now, if it wasn't gang vs. gang feuding, but rather some personal dispute between the two.

How the hell does the average person afford to go to the Dentist?
I have an decent entry level job (with no benefits) and going to the dentist for a filling is quite painful on the wallet. The insurance plans are a joke. In many cases, if you just wanted insurance for dental (no prescriptions, eyecare, etc) you would be better off just putting the monthly fee in a bank account for when you need it. I really feel like the government is failing us. We keep people healthy, but if your teeth are rotting out, too bad. I know there are discount/free dental clinics around, but I feel that the provincial/federal government needs to get this "Dental Fee Guide" under control. The minimums are crazy and all we are doing is making Dentists quite wealthy. My girlfriend works a minimum wage job right now, and if she lived on her own, there would be no way she could afford to go to the Dentist.
Does everyone else just ignore going to the dentist until they have pain?

A/C games near UofT has a copy...
Prepare to pay...
edit: goddamn it lunar!
edit2: will do you need a dentist or dental hygenist? I know there are those colleges with students who are studying it you can go to get your stuff looked at...though if you're in serious pain, just pay the charge. And try to get an entry level job with benefits
Recent article says dentists are part of the 1%, they are filthy rich but from what I know it's one of the most depressing jobs to have because a lot of people don't take care of their teeth.
I had an entry level job without benefits right when I had to get my 4 wisdoms taken out (2 impacted) and later a root canal. Definitely made me change my dental habits and now I'm pure OCD about keeping my teeth completely clean.

My dentist must be super cool... he knows I don't have insurance so he is always trying to find ways to save me money. Last time I was there he didn't even charge me for the x-rays!

There's also the fact that you're typically hunched over for most of your day, not good on your back/posture.
Anyone on WIND mobile can confirm that sometimes it randomly switches you to rogers and considers that roaming + charges a ton? I heard a few horror stories.
Working on computer is just as bad though.

Now tell me who your dentist is.
I just switched and still haven't gone in to get my wisdom teeth done because the cost is insane. My coverage is shit for dental.

I guess it depends on what you consider the average person. If you are talking about college age or recent grads who don't have a full-time job, then I guess I probably just wouldn't go. My wife and I both have decent benefits so we get 100% coverage while paying a minimal amount on her premiums.

Oh Rob, bet you wish you'd left that fee alone now.
I have no problem with them being banned.

I don't either. I just find it hilarious that he tried to take one thing down it and backfires.

BUT HOW WILL CHINESE PEOPLE THROW AWAY THEIR GARBAGE NOW!? (I'm Chinese, don't ban me!)
looking for a bartending job, anyone have any suggestions? looking for a fri/sat club job. some people have suggested the madison and the brunswick house, since its so high volume and im used to dealing with that sort of crowd. already applied to everything up to two weeks old on kijiji, and have a list of 20+bars written down to drop resumes off at, but thought i'd post here to see if any gaffers have any suggestions
Bwahaha. Amazing news. A shame people will still manage to shit all over the city and parks with other garbage.
Bwahahaha oh man that is amazing.
I'm glad this is happening though. We need to move away from plastic bags.
LOL IS THIS FOR REAL.
I'm all for banning plastic bags. It's going to be difficult adjusting, but we have to do it sooner or later.
Some groceries sell baskets or bags, and have them on sale on occasion. There's also going to Ikea and buying their bags for less than a dollar. Durable and huge, good for groceries.
Oh man, why I treated groceries as an exception is beyond me x__x
Yeah, now that you reminded me, I'm good with this ban.
To the other side of the argument, there goes free/cheap garbage bags. I have a shit ton of plastic bags that I use for my garbage bins and they do the job quite well. With this ban, people will eventually run out of garbage bags and buy ones for actual ones made for garbage.
On the whole, I'm definitely for banning plastic bags.
Yeah, I occasionally use a plastic bag for garbage, but luckily a couple of years ago I switched almost entirely to buying those 3 dollars packages of 100 plastic bags.

Too funny. Our mayor is so despised. I doubt he'll even want to run a second term.
I agree with the plastic bag thing, even though I know it will bite me in the ass a few times. The one aspect I find silly about the ban is extending it to recyclable "plastic". Why do that? I know Lettuce and the like use those clear bags made from corn starch, what's so bad about those....
anyways we looked at Seattle as a model for the ban

On the Ford front, he blames residents for the plastic bag ban. It's on YOU people. Silent majority, right?
Humber West is an amazing park. Love walking out there, and it gives you a great view from the shore.

Shitty little town in Newfoundland.
I've always wanted to visit Newfoundland. Looks beautiful... at least for a visit!
