Weird, I haven't gotten a notice yet... oh well, they probably should do it since they want to minimize fraud or something. lol

Normally it's pretty fast but the last time I had to renew both I was able to do the driver's license online and went in to get a new photo for the health card and started to get kidney stone pain while waiting lol.....ugh
I posted this on the Canadian Elections thread, but it might also be appropriate here:
Recently, I got a call from an unknown number, named me specifically, and asked if I would lend my support to my local Liberal riding.
The problem is that the person on the phone incorrectly named the Liberal candidate running in my riding. And I would assume that anything official would clearly label its phone number.
Is this fishy, or am I just paranoid?

Sounds shady to me.
Unrelated story. I remember when I had first gotten my new phone number and I NEVER signed up for anything with it aside from the do not call list. I get some random call from Quebec and I think it's work. Nope. Some survey company and it was a live person on the line and asked did she could ask me some questions. I immediately asked her how she got my number. She kinda hesitated and said it was on a database and I asked her where it came from. She didn't know, so I immediately asked her to remove me from the calling list and to not call again.
Sigh...doesn't stop those spoofed Robo calls though.

Were they asking for money? Then maybe.
Or perhaps they have a phone bank somewhere where they just call every single Liberal supporter and they have no idea where people actually live.

Went to The Burger Priest at Queen St. and holy fuck everything that has been said about it in this thread/title is correct, just great burgers.
Only got a High Priest combo but that was like a Big Mac but on steroids and good. I will definitely be coming back here and checking out the not-so-secret menu.

YOU SEE, EM?! YOU SEE?!
Just a protip: do not get anything with blue cheese. It simply drowns out the flavour of the patty.
I sometimes get calls with automated voice messages about winning cruises.
I should sign up for the do not call list. :lol
I ended up hanging up after she got the candidate wrong.

They were everywhere tonight. One landed directly on my eyeball, and instantly died when I instinctively recoiled and blinked. Its dead body then slid up under my eyelid. I couldn't get it out until I got home and had a mirror.
Now my entire eye is red/pink. This is the point at which I am done with summer.
Ugh....
Got hit by a car last night and lost teeth....
Was crossing one of those crosswalks where you have to press the button and the yellow light blinks. Guy accelerated too soon and clipped me from the back. Hit the ground right away.
Besides the teeth and some minor bruises on my butt I'm fine.
Gonna make this cocksucker pay. Got all his info and cops came.
This happened in Scarborough.

He accelerated?! 0_o
Did he get you as you were crossing or in the middle?
I've been splashed before and nearly hit cause they don't want to stop for it.
Also had one woman just aggressively drive right through it in front of me while I was crossing and all she did was mouth sorry.
Yeah. Was going across the crosswalk and he hit the gas too quick and I tried to jump front since I noticed him coming, but didn't make it in time and he clipped me and I hit the deck.
I have one friend who pretty much refuses to cross these yellow blinking light crosswalks. Always told me how he comes so close to being run over. Well, I guess he was right.
Everyone's telling me how he is fucked since he hit me on a crosswalk.
Haha. I'm SO GLAD it's two teeth on the far right side of my mouth. If it was front teeth... God I would probably take a few weeks off work until I had it fixed.
They said it was a Big Mac on steroids, what a compliment. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wow, glad you're okay, relatively speaking. Hopefully it doesn't have too much of an impact on your health long term. Stuff like that can creep up on you years later. Take that guy through the legal wringer, he fucked up big time and I'd bet on him not having a very clean driving record to begin with.
I've had dozens of close calls in the city, so I'm pretty cautious about crossing. Even at full red lights I've seen cars blow through, or fail to stop until they're half way in the intersection, cars never looking while turning right, cyclist blowing through a T light because they don't feel the threat of cars, cars trying to beat lights, or predict a light changing and dart through a red like an idiot.
So now basically I wait until and light changes and stare down cars as they approach the intersection to make sure they're actually going to stop. I have my dog with me most of the time too, so it's also to protect him.

Damn driver's license renewal. Stood inline for an hour, took less than 5 minutes to do it.
Also I hope you are OK Kraft. Dental work is damn expensive, can't imagine replacing missing teeth is going to all that fun.

Why do I punish myself by lining up for Uncle Tetsu?
On the plus side, it wasn't TOO long but I got caught as the person in front was the last to get the last batch again so I had to wait at the counter...
Additionally, the cafe next door serves green tea cheesecake and there was no wait at all, so if you guys want to avoid the regular line you can give that a try. They had a whole freakin stack of the green tea cheesecake though and still a long ass line up for the regular one. They should really try to optimize their business since it's run pretty inefficiently.

I've always wondered why there's a constant lineup at Uncle Tetsu. I'd imagine that having a constant lineup that's as long as an amusement park ride would have them consider more efficient measures in serving people.
Maybe they're just so caught up on their hubris.

It was stupid. They had a stack of 20 green tea cheesecakes and I didn't see the ovens being used (they have MORE ovens next door in the cafe). Can't convince me you couldn't get those going to get more regular cheesecakes out so people don't have to wait and you don't potentially lose business having someone not even bother lining up.
The line is part of the allure, probably. Canadians love lines.
Oh and apparently the Black History guys have a debit machine now. Should I feel bad for people who actually give them their debit cards to have their PINs stolen, or just laugh at their idiocy?

The best one I've heard.
Black History Guys: "But you're black."
Girlfriend of guy: "Yes, I am black."
*walks away*
God I hate these guys so much. It's even more annoying being black around them, you ignore them and they try to insult you that somehow you aren't black enough by ignoring them.
I just now take their pamphlets and when they yell to pay them I crumble it up and drop it on the ground.

It's a scum bag tactic that %90 of people cannot react fast enough too. I like the way you handle it.
Most people do not expect to say "no thank you" and be asked "what are you, a racist?"
