Crap

More crap

Please, just stop.

 

[EvilMario]

Please, just stop.

This thread was a mistake. It's nothing, but cheese cake burgers coors lite trash.

 

[Quick]

Rush? No thanks. Rush and "eclectic" do not go together.

Nothing says "I'm a white suburbanite" quite like Rush.

They even have a song about those white suburbanites taking the 401 to the city to drink and play arcade games at Video Invasion! (Man that place was fun as a kid)


Rush is probably too busy on tour anyway

rush is good but ayy lmao

 

[Fuzzy]

Fuck Rush. The best thing about Rush is that they made I Love You, Man funny because of how absurd it was that two guys actually loved them.

What's with all the Rush hate in this thread? Geez man they're Canadian legends. OK they're old but fuck.

 

[The Elite]

I am not a Kanye fan but he's a good draw and will get the closing games good buzz outside of Toronto.

 

[Willectro]

Sometimes, in life, you'll be subjected to things you don't like. It's OK. That, after all, is life sometimes.

Kinda like someone stating they dislike Kanye? I think some people think that if you like / defend Kanye, you therefore have a deeper understanding of contemporary art and culture and get "it".

The 16 year olds have spoken, if you like Rush you are a white suburbanite.

 

[Entropia]

Quit with the Rush hate guys! >:|

 

[firehawk12]

Completely forgot to check in, but how are those Pan Am games??

 

[Divvy]

I don't like Kanye or his music, but I also strongly struggle to see why anyone would care about him performing

Completely forgot to check in, but how are those Pan Am games??

Nobody knows, everyone is too busy whining about something or other

 

[firehawk12]

Shouldn't the entire city be aflutter with all the international attention and so forth?

Spoiler

lol

I'm going to assume that they've turned Dundas Square or Nathan Phillips Square into some kind of gathering place for Pan Am stuff at least.

 

[Roto13]

Rush is awesome but way too past their prime for this. Kanye sucks and is an idiot.

Get the Barenaked Ladies up there!

Roto13 for Mayor.

 

[ahdurian]

Roto13 for Mayor.

Seconded

 

[Kave_Man]

I'll only vote for Roto when that amazing avatar is brought back.

 

[Junior Mint]

Oh and LOL at people hating on Kanye and the petition. Get a life.

Yeah seriously. That petition is straight up pathetic.

 

[Divvy]

So Olympic bid, yay or nay?

 

[Junior Mint]

So Olympic bid, yay or nay?

Personally I thought the Olympics did a lot of good for Vancouver and forced the city to rapidly develop needed infrastructure. Not to mention that their world standing as a city really took off after 2010. I'd be for it but I'm surely overlooking a ton of negative consequences.

That's the only real good side, a lot of infrastructure things should get done with an Olympics but also the costs man, going over budget constantly.

I cry evrytim

Yeah it depends so much on governance and good project management that it's really hard to just give a yes or no answer to without a ton of analysis, pre-planning, and risk management work being done first.

We need more Celine Dion and at the very end, Vince Carter comes up and dunks it over her while she sings and fireworks shoot up in the air

 

[Azih]

So Olympic bid, yay or nay?

Yay. The infrastructure deficit in the city is crazy and it seems like fancy big ticket events are the only way to get some investment in. Plus we built a bunch of things that can be reused for the Olympics, no? Seems like swimming is taken care of already.

jokkir: You want a petition about why it should have been Andrew Wiggins dunking instead?

 

[Divvy]

Yeah that's my feel on it. I think it will hurt us financially, but I also think it's the only way we'll get the infrastructure upgrades and projects that we need. Especially having watched a lot of really embarassing council meetings.

I have basically zero faith that we will get any non-stupid transit upgrades without it

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Nay. Fuck the Olympics.

We'll get an Olympic bid and the most we'll do is add a bike lane.

I thought about this as well. An Olympic bid would get the city to really focus on the importance of infrastructure.

We can only look up to the Best City In The World: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Where the threesomes flow like wine and the sheets are never unrumpled.

 

[Roto13]

Vancouver is great if you don't need to interact with people to stay sane.

 

[Sober]

So nearly everyone in this thread should just move to Vancouver?

Not a bad idea.

We're the "Centre of the Universe" though :/

Spoiler

nobody really says that here...

You guys are just going to end up summoning him again

Tabris, Tabris, Tabris. He can tell us how the NHL never existed before 2004

 

[Tabris]

It was a different league. 2004 onward is NHL 2.0. Nothing before it counts. Canucks drought is only just over a decade old. Maple Leafs have never won a Stanley Cup.

And yes, Vancouver is one of the greatest cities in the world Toronto is pretty nice too Take down the Gardiner and we can talk again about Toronto being centre of the universe.

 

[explodet]

I hope the weather holds out tomorrow. I'm going to drag my fat ass to one of the nearby beaches and get my vitamin D for the year.

 

[Kave_Man]

Everyone here's the easiest thing to do when Tabris shows up.

Ignore the stupidity he says, when you respond is when he continues with his character.

There is no character, just my real opinions.

I have been posting on GAF since 2003, that would be a long time to keep up a character lol

If I'm not being stifled with heat at the beach, it just wouldn't feel right.

 

[Roto13]

I moved from Vancouver to Toronto because I was sick of the people who live in Vancouver.

 

[chaobreaker]

Anyone know where all these cosplayers walking south from Don Mills and Eglinton are coming from?
