Toronto-Age |OT3| Going Off the Rails on a Gravy Train
- Thread starter EvilMario
- Start date
It's astonishing anything gets done in this city given how these meetings go. Oh wait, nothing actually does.
As a 905er, I know that I get somewhat annoyed when people on here blame "905ers" for Toronto's electoral fuck ups.
Speak for yourself, Mike Del Grande won in my riding.
Yeah, I blame 647ers.As a 905er, I know that I get somewhat annoyed when people on here blame "905ers" for Toronto's electoral fuck ups.
Goddamn ridiculous that municipal politics are this heated. It should be as dreadfully boring as possible. These personal attacks are an embarrassment to the city.
Gonna whip everyone's ass in here.
Just wait a few years and we'll start to see the 365, 437 and 387 numbers. I blame them all already.
I'm so upset that I switched from Bell to Rogers a month before they made it okay to swap the phone number to the competitor.
I miss my 416 number. I feel like a dirty poor with this 647.

Someone needs to stroll into the next council meeting with this blaring.
How long until we run out of 3 digit area codes?

Are you saying that as an endorsement or rejection or Mike Del Grande?
There are just over 300 in use in the US & Canada out of the possible just under 800 available (none can start with 0xx or 1xx) so we have a way to go.
I can see how it can be taken either way and my new avatar may confuse the matter further and I like it that way. :lol

CTV News talkback Toronto actually had 2 of 3 callers say they wouldn't vote for Ford in a by-election
But the one who said she would vote for him says he has been given the dirty deal, has done stupid things like reading and driving, it's good that he supports his football club because teachers don't like/want to spend time with students after school or show support for education, and Miller was spend spend spend

Since we were just talking about rail transit to Pearson..
Air-Rail Link, now rebranded the Union Pearson Express.

Did they mention what it's gonna cost perride? I live right by the airport and passed by the construction, I can take pics because it looks cool!
Why you gotta be like that, Fuzzy.
The question is competitively with what? Go Bus from Union to Pearson is $5.90 for a ticket or $5.46 with a Presto card. It'll be faster than the GO Bus so I'm not expecting it to be cheaper.
Because I'm awesome. Last year my foreman complained about his 647 number that he got in 2008 and got even more upset when I told him I got my 416 number in 2010. :lol
Me > you.
Thinking about it a bit more, it may be cheaper because trains are cheaper to operate than buses.
Ok, I retract my previous statements about Rdio. They have quite a few relatively new albums available. Did a bunch of comparisons between Rdio and Grooveshark (slightly different service models, I know) and Rdio seems to be much more organized and up to date. It will be a great tool to discover new (somewhat mainsteam) music. The sound quality seems decent, but for music in my regular rotation I will still acquire it from alternate sources (FLAC 4 LYF3). It's good for when I'm at work though. And the UI is perfect. Thanks for the suggestion.

Behaviour like that only makes him more popular with his base. He could pull down his pants and take a shit on Adam Vaughn's desk, and his approval rating would go up.
That's, sadly, the Toronto we live in.
Anyway, what bugs me the most about that article is that Ford was angrily protesting something and he didn't even know what it was. It had to be explained to him after he started yelling.
Awesome.
Plus, he thinks developers having to promise funding to improve the surrounding community is a "shakedown", but he still thinks seeking out "donations" using city letterhead is fine because "it's for the kids."

His whole "it's criminal if someone else does it, it's justified if I do it" double-standard is infuriating.
That's not what he didn't know about, he had no knowledge whatsoever about the proposed building that was at the heart of this whole thing.
I like my 647 number. I got to pick the last 4 digits of my number.
However, I do admit that there is some novelty to having a 416 number.
I had to be outside for about an hour today. GOD DAMN.
Co-signed,
Quick.

And its not even real winter yet
My only problem is that I didn't expect it would be this cold all of a sudden. This is fine but not when I'm not prepared. I have a bald head!
Lustfully yours,

Really? I thought everyone was panicking because it was going to be around the afternoon home time...
I think the wind was stronger than expected, so it might blow past us.
Yeah, i was hit kind of hard yesterday and my gf has been sick all week
We just had flu shots here so people are getting a bit sick from those it seems.
What I am not going to like is when in a few days the temperature shoots up to 11 and 13 then back down to the negatives again. Now that's how you get sick.

Lots of people sniffing and shit.
Here's a funny thought:
If some Torontonian gaffers are planning on buying XB3 or PS4 during midnight launch, perhaps these gaffers can choose a specific store and get together prior to the opening and have a fun time?
I have never done anything like this myself and I don't know which console I'd be prepared to buy day 1 but if some of the guys/gals are up for it, it may turn to be fun because of the company of each other.
