That's true, but Conservatives tend to have the "hive mind" down better. Liberals tend to splinter a bit more.

Because most Liberals think the idea of spamming stupid comments on the internet is a waste of time and makes you look foolish

Does anyone here live in the Annex or surrounding area that has good suggestion for food delivery?
I don't mean like pizza pizza but something actually good.
My most reliable choice in Banjara for delivery but I'm starting to think I eat it too often!
Thankssss

Every time we (Toronto GAF) discuss the TTC we end up in the same place. We've been here before, I recognize this tree.
I hate having to use it. But, my experience driving today? I'd choose a smelly rocket over sitting, stopped, on the 401 for hours on end.

We're just saying it could be much better if it weren't for a totally selfish union and management that is useless.

To be wholly accurate, we're saying it for the 30th time, give or take. That's my point: without any new ideas, we just keep going around and around and around.
I usually buy mine at this place called Mega Save Optical on Jane and Bloor. They have some nice frames at pretty good prices.

I think it's healthy just to kick the shit out of the TTC verbally once in a while. Discussing anything other than fare hikes (like more accessible stations, automation, better service) and fuck ups is usually pointless because they will never happen. But discussing those fairy tale dreams might be better than just accepting it as the norm and never saying anything.
But to your point, there's probably not much else to add to the discussion. Or we could be like Urban Toronto and sit around drawing up insane expansions that will never happen.
This is diabolically brilliant. Am I being super naive to think there might be some sort of Wii U deal for Black Friday?

There is no Black Friday in Canada!

Have fun lining up at FS/BB for hours to save 5 bucks on a crappy Bluray player/TV!
FIVE DOLLARS WELL SAVED!
Some online retailers have been offering Black Friday deals on their Canadian sites in recent years, thought maybe Futureshop would join in.
Boxing Day is hell on earth...but seeing stampede videos of Black Friday makes it seem just as bad (if not worse).

So how many chocolate bars did you buy at Shoppers this week! lol
I know some stores use it because it's free marketing, but I don't remember any tremendous (electronics) deals last year anyway.Some online retailers have been offering Black Friday deals on their Canadian sites in recent years, thought maybe Futureshop would join in.

Dunno where to ask this: Has anyone ordered anything from Walmart.ca? How was the experience? Im thinking of ordering a largish piece of furniture from them, and having it shipped. I dont have a car so I need to go through the site to get it shipped.
I could call later in the morning, but I figured I'd ask: does Mr. Lube do repairs? I'm having an issue with my air conditioning (air comes out of the windshield vents, not anywhere else) and I was hoping to get it fixed quickly, and I know I can easily drop by without an appointment.
Returned them, spent the points before they took it off!!!!! I'm such a master RFDer!!!!!

I don't think Mr Lube does anything but lube jobs (ha ha)
I was going to suggest Midas but I'm not sure if they do AC
True. The parity in that regard seems many years away, the only deals I've ever taken advantage of with these sales were just for DVD box sets.
Was just reading about that, very sad. Apparently there was a second worker who was hit by the train as well, in hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries. Hope he/she pulls through alright.
The only sales in Canada we'll likely the trade-in sales from Futureshop / Best Buy, or Gamestop. We probably won't know until that week. Shoppers will probably have a 20x / super redemption day between Wii U launch and end of the year though, so that's another way to grab one cheaply.
Sad news. Seems like these overnight accidents happens every couple of years.
I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but The Burger's Priest is amazing. I went last night and had the "High Priest" burger (It's essentially a Big Mac, but done right) and it was, without a doubt, the best burger I've ever had. It was a little pricey, but well worth it.
I'll have to look into Futureshop/Best Boy's trade-in policies. If they're anything like EB/Gamestop's it's probably not worth trying. Wasn't familiar with Shoppers redemption day, interesting.
Haven't yet had the chance to try Burger's Priest, heard both good and bad things (well not especially bad, just overrated). Looking forward to giving it a shot. Big Smoke is my current favourite, I think.

Futureshop goes by a list that's updated weekly for their sales, rather than strictly value like Gamestop. You can see the trade-in list for NHL 13 here. Their list usually includes 4-5 games that you can find at places like Staples, or used game shops for cheap.
Optimum card is free at Shoppers, so you might as well collect points. There's a special promo going on right for Kraft products, where you can buy 4 and get 8,000 points. Chocolate bars are the cheapest if you just want points, but you could stock up on gum / crackers as well. 95,000 points for $170 off (better one the redemption days, like they had last weekend where 95k was worth $210), could take a chunk off the Wii U price.
Phew. That was a mouthful. Keep an eye on the Canadian Deals Thread, CAG and RFD for sales.

Heeeeey, I'm not a true RFDer. I don't have an apartment full of chocolate bars and ritz crackers.
You just have a stack of them in the shape of a couch?Heeeeey, I'm not a true RFDer. I don't have an apartment full of chocolate bars and ritz crackers.

We're just trying to put the spare bedroom to good use!
So like everyone else, I'm caught up in the fervour that is the new IPhone. Does anyone have any experience with Fido's online reservation service? I'm due for an upgrade and it's allowing me to order a 16gb model. So when it comes in to the store I would re-up my contract then? Or will someone phone me ahead of time to do it? Feedback always appreciated guys and gals.
Oh wow, awesome. Thanks for all the info!
Personally, I enjoy Big Smoke (and Dangerous Dan's) quite a bit, but now prefer Burger's Priest.

A gypsy tried to get a free coffee out of me at Bathurst Station today. I've seen quite a few gypsies this year. I wonder where they are coming from.
Gypsies in Toronto? What did they look like?

Haha, you sure they weren't just extreme hipsters?
Ya, It was a Roma organized crime group that got busted for human trafficking and mail thefts recently. Think they were based out of Hamilton.

I checked for anchor tattoos and they didn't have them and then I asked if they thought Williamsburg, Brooklyn was cool and they said no. So, I think they weren't hipsters this time.

It's a great place to go to.
People and their over rated nonsense. Better than BQM.
Don't believe EM's lies!
I had a friend do the mostly geeked out wedding, it was so cool! But in retrospect I couldn't do the same, when people are further separated into more groups (gamers&nongamers in addition to dancers&loungers) and not mixing it up socializing, it really brought the energy at a wedding down. The saving grace was that the venue was small so it didn't feel completely empty when we were all separated.
Thanks! I am sure he feels the same, he never believed in marriage (or people in general) so everyone's shocked he got married. Meanwhile, everyone I know was shocked when I said I was going to marry him, as I used to think him full of himself years ago lol. Utter disbelief on both sides and it was mentioned in the speeches by his side of the family.
Tell that to Canadian companies (like mine) that sell stuff.. we now follow USA and 'celebrate' it.
According to my dad, during the 70s and 80s there used to be a lady begging at VIA/union station each day change for a coffee.
Once a month she'd be dressed in expensive clothes/jewellry/makeup, matching suitcases and she'd go on a train ride to meet a relative.
Then the next day she'd be back to begging in crappy clothes.
When she died it turned out she had hundreds of thousands in bonds/cash and expensive looking stuff in a dinky apartment. Theory is that she was mentally disturbed.

If we're doing a Wii U launch night meet up, we should probably agree on a location soon. It looks like these things are going fast.
