My shorts are ready.

Toronto photo of the day:
I like this one.
My room mates and I have not, collectively, worn a shirt in the building in about a week.
I'm working from home today, it's officially no pants day.
Man screw you! You wait until Thursday to declare it No Pants Week?
Now I sit here at work suffering in these pants like a damn sucker.

What's this?
Looked like a parking garage at a mall in the GTA, I'm not 100% sure where. CP24 was following it as breaking news. Dog was locked in an SUV. Police, fire and Animal Control finally get the dog on a leash and out of the vehicle, the dog does a barrel roll and gets off the leash, and casually walks onto an off ramp (lots of cars) near the parking garage. The Animal Control officer just casually followed the dog up the ramp. And that's when I stopped watching. SMH.

Did they have a helicopter overhead covering this?
That's hilarious.
I have a co-worker from Israel who laughs at some of the stories we consider news.
I don't think they had a helicopter, but still, slow day in news.
Edit: Update - According to Reddit/CityTV the dog was hit by a Car.

Edit 2: Not sure if the dog was injured at all.
Every summer there are a bunch of dogs trapped in car stories. I remember when from a couple years ago where a guy left his dog in the car at the airport; he was flying out for two weeks and 'forgot the dog was there'. lulz. You should have to under go a psych exam to have a pet.

Toronto's "Breaking News" indeed.
I remember, not too long ago, when "Breaking News" meant a plane crash, an earthquake, or someone important doing something important.
Anyway, what a massive fuck-up that whole thing was. They get the dog out, the dog is justifiably terrified of them, and the dog runs onto highway and may or may not have been hit by a car. The owners were idiots for locking it in there, but the police are just as big idiots. They should have stuck by the car and monitored its well being, and given the owners a huge fine.

To drive a car or own a gun legally, you have to jump through hoops. But anyone can own an animal or have a child.

Maybe if people see BREAKING NEWS about their stupidity it will deter other people from leaving their pet in a hot car to avoid potential embarrassment......
Breaking news has meant shit all the past few years

Seeing this makes me nervous about my own job security (bookstore employee).
Coles in Scarborough Town Centre closed down, too, and another one in Whitby.

It did for a few seconds up here in the mean streets of Thornhill.
I can confirm this

I don't know if they are showing the game but "The Bristol Yard" (146 Christie which is between Bloor and Dupont) at is my favourite British food restaurant in Toronto.
Here is there breakfast menu:
and the dinner just because I love the place and wanna spread the word:
Actually they are open weird hours and days... so make sure to call them before going there.
I was at the Yorkdale bus stop and decided to stand in the rain (since I like the rain) and people looked are me like I was the devil. WTF mate?
Oh and I visited the new food court for the first time today. Shanghai 360 has that general thao chicken, son! Yeeeaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Will set it up for July. I will make the thread in a few days to give everyone a good 2 weeks + heads-up.
This time, there will be Pho.
Kave_Man will be our dessert

While not strictly Toronto-age, went hiking up at this place today. Pretty cool stuff. Want to do more.

Shit, when did that happen? It was still open last time I went there.
A couple of months ago now, I think.
Not sure if this is accurate, but the store closed down at least partly due to excessive theft. That's what I've heard from someone at work.
NEVER EVER EVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR leave a pet or child in a vehicle, for any amount of time in the heat or cold.
bigger question is how the dog was able to escape
pretty much, so crazy, I wish I could see the face on there owners who came back to the car after 5PM, the cops let the dog out I think around 1pm

Toronto-Gaf, I need help. On Monday(25th) I will be heading down to Toronto to meet with Humber College (North) to finish up my enrolment into one of their programs. I am coming in via VIA Rail from the Brampton station (which is on 31 Church Street West). Because of how tight my appointments are, I will be taking a Taxi to the college.
My problem stems from how I will get back to the Brampton station at the end of the day. My train leaves at 6:16pm and I will likely have to be there half an hour in advance to board. I would really like it if I could avoid using a taxi again (as just using it in the morning will cost me $50) and would like to see if I could get there through the Public Transit System whether that be TTC or Go Train.
As a note, this will be the first time I will be in Toronto Solo by myself, so this will be a new experience for me. Could anyone offer any recommendations, or if I should just get a Taxi again for the return.
Edit: And how reliable is Google Maps Public Transit Search Filter in Toronto? Should I trust it?

You can catch the Go-Bus (35/35A) directly from Brampton station, travel times aren't frequent though.
