I'd be down, as I said in NHL-GAF I am going to learn how to play real hockey end of November, but I'm definitely down if we set something up.

The biggest challenge is probably where best to go for this. If we decide on an indoor rink, how much it is to rent and if everyone can go during that day.

Outdoor rink would be free (I'd assume), but probably really cold.

Was ford just winging it and calculated what year the next election is?

 

[diaspora]

In Markham, Scarpitti's opponents being complete fucks are going to give us near permanent incumbency.

[Scarpitti's] opponents oppose transit investments, arguing that everyone in Markham drives anyway

“I haven’t been on a bus since I was 15,” says Ms. Rea.

Some of the stupidest opinions I've seen this week.

HEY!

I made mention of a Toronto-Age hockey game in the NHL thread, and I'm actually down for all of us to get together and play some hockey.

I was wondering if there's interest in this idea for either the next meetup or a future meetup.

Not everyone skates, but we can either get a good number of people joining up, or we can do a mix of non-skaters and skaters.

And what's a good place to get this going within Toronto?

Hockey in a gym or indoors...can't skate well.

Im team summer but the Habs are my team.

 

[Rinoa]

The well to do types in my 'hood all voted for Chow. But they're outnumbered by many tax evaders who say they voted Ford because they believe he's on their side on evading taxes, or something.

We'd all probably look like chumps trying to skate.

I'd just end up fighting someone.

 

[Sober]

Guys, I'll reduce taxes to 0% while keeping funding for all programs up. Vote for me, I can totally promise that. Just don't ask for specifics, it's too complicated.

Pretty much shit like this that actually CAN get you voted. Then just break the promises.

 

[Anony]

thank god i voted for tory

it's funny, the tory/chow wards are the ttc line
it's just sad how many people voted for ford, fuck this city

 

[Samyy]

So I'm thinking about moving downtown around October/November next year, any good site to start researching rents/places to live? I think $1500 might be my max.

I have a story you will hate. When I was in SF during dreamforce, coworker and I walked into a store at PacHeights and she had a Sens jersey on.

Some dude "oh my god Canadians?! from Toronto?"
us "HELLS YEAH AND CELEBRATING CANADIAN THANKSGIVING"
dude "I'm also from Toronto! But what the hell is this Sens jersey?"
me "....and I'm a Habs fan"
dude "I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE BOTH OF YOU. BYE"

Sometimes I like to see leaf fans go nuts. Best friend growing up was a huge stan for the leafs and our highschool was close to the gardens.

/csb

 

[Spl1nter]

Etobicoke and Scarborough continue to be the suburbs from hell. I just dont understand the logic.

 

[Sober]

I don't judge people if they're a habs fan, but I will if you are a sens fan.

 

[jokkir]

I can't believe Doug Ford almost won. This god damn city. Honestly, fuck Scarborough (where I lived my entire life and still living). So many morons here that will believe in everything and anything and just plain ignorant. Makes me sick.

 

[Rinoa]

Etobicoke and Scarborough continue to be the suburbs from hell. I just dont understand the logic.

I want to make hella expensive tolls for any incoming cars communting to the city from them.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Etobicoke and Scarborough continue to be the suburbs from hell. I just dont understand the logic.

Etobicoke -> low taxes, garbage collection; Scarborough -> he's giving us a new subways!

 

[Boogie]

We'd all probably look like chumps trying to skate.

I'd just end up fighting someone.

I imagine I'll have you beat on both counts.

 

[Magnus]

Guys, do you think that Rob would have won if he had still run for mayor?

 

[Apathy]

I hate that Rob made a threat to run again in 4 years. Tory better do an amazing job so Rob cannot come back in 4 years.

 

[jokkir]

Etobicoke -> low taxes, garbage collection; Scarborough -> he's giving us a new subways!

Or "he's keeping the taxes low!" unaware that his subway "plan" would increase the taxes like crazy. Oh? Increased taxes?not my fault anymore! It's everyone else but me!

I can't believe people will fall for that crap

 

[Azuran]

kick'em to the curb

That's a highly depressing graphic.

I don't have an appropriate response gif for this, so

 

[krae_man]

I didn't even get m'ladied as there were too may m'ladies. It would have been confusing.

Sorry, better late then never:

 

[WrenchNinja]

As long as it's not Ford

 

[shacklesmcgee]

Me : huh, I didn't know Tory spoke French. That's funny, the Fords barely know one language.

GF : that's not true...Rob knows Jamaican ;p

 

[Apathy]

He learned when he went for the Ontario PC leadership. I think it's mandatory.

I can't believe Doug Ford almost won. This god damn city. Honestly, fuck Scarborough (where I lived my entire life and still living). So many morons here that will believe in everything and anything and just plain ignorant. Makes me sick.

I feel you.

I have a friend who voted Doug because something something taxes, but she doesn't pay taxes, so...

 

[Earthstrike]

Ok I've tried a bazillion google searches. Where online can I grab the councillor results, (total votes cast for each councillor per ward?)

Exact same sentiment here on the west end.

 

[Willectro]

So what spin will Doug put on this?

"I didn't want to be back in City Hall anyway, remember?"

 

[trixx]

voted for chow.
meh either way

Only the hipsters voted for chow

a lot of kids at my uni did, so yeah

 

[Apathy]

I still feel Rob is a huge bully even to his own brother. I still don't think Rob would have won if he had stayed in, but Doug would have won ward 2 with no problem. Rob convinces Doug to switch spots (essentially throwing him under the bus) and Rob can get a cushy seat and be able to disrupt council for the next 4 years with outburts and interviews where he starts "When I was mayor..."

 

[Boogie]

I think you have that backwards.

I haven't strapped on my hockey gear in years lol

 

[Quick]

I haven't strapped on my hockey gear in years lol

Probably going to be a casual game of hockey if it gets off the ground. I barely have gear.

 

[Sousanator]

I'd be up for a game with skates

 

[shadowkat]

Sorry, better late then never:

LOL

Probably going to be a casual game of hockey if it gets off the ground. I barely have gear.

I'm not even sure I know where my skates are and I don't know the last time I went skating. Plus I never did learn how to stop properly. I can watch from the sidelines.

 

[zroid]

man i haven't skated in like 12 years probably. don't have skates that fit me anymore either. would be nice to get back on the ice some time, though...

 

[soultron]

Holy shit that map. I can feel Ford Nation breathing down my neck, guys.

[chaobreaker]

Yes, Ward 26 kicked out John Parker. Jon Burnside better be on my freaking side.

I voted for Ishrath Velshi though.

 

[Boogie]

Another damn cop threatening a black man.

Quick is black?!

 

[Fuzzy]

Quick is black?!

He's been accused of being many things but we'll never know for sure because he doesn't show up to meetups.

 

[Divvy]

Why does everyone hate John Parker, does he suck? The only thing I know about him is that he seems to enjoy being the lazy speaker at council meetings.
