My hands are on my face and I'm sad.
This is what I get for drinking Maple Leaf branded Coke Zero

Nah. They're from Toronto. Par for the course.
I might go to the one on the 25th at Jane St. and Runnymede. It's not terribly out of the way, as far as I'm concerned, and I don't have work that day.

How about fuzzy's firstborn?
Jesus
Was supposed to meet a friend downtown for a movie. A bunch of roads are still closes even though the marathon is over. I walked between two barriers and took the sidewalk and this cop yells at me. Says if I live on the street, I said no just walking across. Then goes on about how they are cleaning that street and I can't be there, how he can ticket me etc.
Fucker made me late to the movie.
So pissed.

What a tool. Power tripped Toronto cops.
Suggestions for the meetup location in November, people. Give them to me. If not, I swear we'll end up meeting up in my one bedroom apartment.
They are practicing when the jays wins or lose the playoffs. lol
Couple days old, but: TTC considers suing Bombardier after new streetcar delay
This article is just insane to me. The TTC calling another organization incompetent is hilariously hypocritical. It's pretty clear that Colle has never actually used the TTC.
I also was surpised about Bombardier. Here I (naively) thought, "good for the TTC going with a Canadian company", but I guess that didn't mean all parts. Pretty sure we could have found some Canadians who could crimp electrical connectors. Makes me wonder what else is subbed out to places that don't give a shit.

Don't forget to vote today if you haven't already!
From what I've heard about Bombardier regarding the streetcars and new subway cars, they deserve to be called incompetent. Or liars.

I won't forget to vote Liberal.
TTC likes a good scapegoat that isn't them. I wonder if riders can sue the TTC for incompetence?
I hope they are mad at Bombardier for subbing shit out to Mexico.

lol, you know at some point it's up to the public sector to do its due diligence.
I voted on Thanksgiving day!
I hope you / someone really complains and makes a big deal out of it. Our location didn't have signs up until after 9:30am, but they were open. Someone at work had the same situation, where there were no signs up to direct people.
I didn't see any signs either, I'll bet that was part of the equipment they were missing.
I might give the Returning Office an earful. That's who you yell at in these matters, right? Every other time I've voted it's gone smoothly. Then again I always voted in the afternoon, not first thing in the morning.

LOL, nice one.
Why doesn't the TTC sign more aggressive contracts then? Is it not legally permissible to do so?

I botched about this on Reddit's toxic Toronto sub and someone said even with stiffer penalties, the TTC would still need to sue.
Interesting. I'm still of the opinion that the TTC is raising an issue when really it's yet again them, at least partially, at fault. Colle's going to make sure to put a spin on it though.
Well you always need to sue in pretty much any breach of contract so that's fine. (Bombardier isn't going to go, yeah our bad here's your millions) Why do private corps get sweetheart deals from governments is a separate issue. 99 year 407 deal. Gas plant cancellation parachute. .05 billion max fine on a 1.25 billion contract. Smacks of corruption and a far too cozy relationship between elected legislators and big corps sadly.
Idiots at my polling station tried to refuse allowing me to vote at first. Had a drivers license which should be sufficient enough to vote (from what I understand) and they started asking for a birth certificate/proof of citizenship. Complained to the person in charge and when she questioned them, they said oh there's no proof, or that they doubt I'm a citizen and that anyone can get a drivers license. After complaining, I was eventually allowed but they said they would be filing an official complaint as they didn't agree with this "rule". But I mean shit, I shouldn't have to go through this just trying to vote.
Voted with my driver's license today, no issue. I wonder if I were weren't white if I'd run into more issues.
During a Provincial, or Municipal (I forget which) election one polling station gave my wife a tough time trying to vote with passport + cheque as she doesn't have a license.. She did it today with no problem though.
Uhh, where? That sounds super illegal.
I used my passport and the voting card I got in the mail and that's it. But I did remember to bring my white skin.
Edit: Official requirements
Ha ha, that apparently shouldn't have been enough. Although I did have my health card and a Bank Statement with me too so If they had pushed me I would have had what I needed.

How can I find out if my riding vote counting is done? I'm in Don Valley West.
Edit: Nevermind my lazy ass found it. Liberal MP won. Yay

That's why I don't go outside the city limits unless I'm leaving the country.
