They're spending money for people to have something to look at that will be gone pretty quickly. Sounds like a waste of money just like fireworks but you never hear people complaining about that one.

I'd rather have the government holding firework shows than idiots launching their own in backyards and parks.

Sadly we get both.

If people go downtown and spend money then it's a good idea

The absurdity of this rubber duck never truly set in until I saw it on cp24 this morning

...why?
Click to expand...

..because this city has some shit priorities.

Duck has nothing to do with Canada Day and we could have gotten the same thing for free.

Not surprised though, it's Toronto...

Happy Canada Day everyone.

I might hit up a pool party, but I'm honestly just looking forward to a quiet day alone.

The city received money from the provincial and federal governments to specifically spend on the festival, It's not like the money is coming at the cost of funding the Relief Line. People all over social media are posting about it so it is doing it's job as an attraction. A duck may not have been the first thing that came to mind, but what else would you do instead to attract local tourism?

Have a shitty food festival with long line ups for subpar food?

Seriously, fuck the TTC. I had to take a night bus and it was over 10 minutes late this morning. Fuck Andy Byford and the TTC bus driver that was late. Best service in North America, what a god damn joke.

I saw the duck yesterday...the harbourfront area simply can't support that level of tourists and folks milling around. Fire hazards left and right. :^|

My friend and I tried to drive down there today to see if we could just drive by it. Big mistake. It's a parking lot.

We turned around at Bathurst.

New ramen joint opened at Yonge and Finch - Menya Fuji. I think I read a Yelp review that said it was a chain from Japan or something. Taste is not bad. I'd put it over Kinton, and about the same level as Shoryuken whatever but still not as good as Santouka.

It's 15% off right now. They have a $20 bowl of ramen that's like a mountain of food lol. Note that it appears to be owned / run(?) by Chinese mainlanders.

The plate was 35. It was plenty of food and enough to share.

The fried chicken we ordered was really good too it had a Kentucky Fried Chicken like spice blend in the crust.

I've heard good stuff but was always wary because of the line ups.

What are your guys' thoughts on this thread about changing the Ontario flag?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1400970
He even goes so far as to suggest making it an election issue.

Some people agree with the OP and I'm surprised. There are lots of arguments for changing is that keeping British symbolism in the flags is upholding colonialism/racism. I, for one, thought it was cool that we recognized our British roots somewhere. But maybe because I've never been oppressed, it's not my judgment to make. If it really does go somewhere though, I'd personally just vote to ignore it because there are other things that politicians can deal with.

Also, I don't get the hate for the BC flag. I think it's awesome.
