Your problem is that you should be hoping the Raptors WIN tonight. If you are just hoping they don't loose, well, you've already loosed. Think positive.

She was banned from Fox News recently for some sort of erratic back-stage behaviour. I think she does have some serious problems beyond her political beliefs. She's still invited on CNN for some reason. That's where she said "Well, I think we have to define torture. One man’s torture is...

I can't read the letters section because I'm terrified I'll find something written by a family member. On the plus side for the Sun, they recently fired Rachel Marsden (see post #64) for a "Hooray for torture!" article so maybe there is some sort of hope.

Is Lanai a real word or did they just make that up? Anyone know of any other buildings in T.O. marketing a Lanai?

The square needs a webcam. Maybe City will have one. Today's Daily Dose of Imagery is a nice night shot of the square: http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/10/27/

I'm not sure that this guy has ever been to North America. In the areas in Amsterdam where they have done this, traffic is already a fraction of what it is on a typical Toronto street and pedestrians and cyclists greatly outnumber cars. In places where there are Toronto levels of traffic in...

No. When the cars have a green, all of the pedestrians have to stop. This means that the cars wanting to turn right don't have to wait for a break in the flow of pedestrians. Therefore the ban on right hand turns at Yonge and Dundas (can't remember if the other intersections allow right hand...

i would like to turn Alsop loose on the facade of the Bay store on Bloor. if it doesn't work out, then we bulldoze.

Homer Simpson: "Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races."

Pimp the Whores First With due respect to Alfred Tsang, I disagree with his Point of View ("Trim the Fat First,"). It is not the only way, not even a maybe. In the movie Risky Business (ironically) in which a horny teenager, with the help of his hooker friend, came up with the money to fix...

Maybe Hero Burger will force Harveys to expand their burger topping selection to stay competitive. The best part of a Hero Burger is the selection of sauces.

i think that many people will use "Dundas Square" to refer to both the square and Metropolis.

All of these people obviously read the Toronto Sun and all of them believe that Toronto is sucking tax money from the pockets of everyone in the country. Perhaps the Sun should take this as a sign that they aren't educating their readers very well (That seems like a pretty redundant thing to...

Short women carrying umbrellas that nearly poke out your eyes as they pass you - especially when it's barely drizzling - really bug me.

Maybe this is one of the obvious things but for the average office worker, I think it's just a matter of having more options for food and shopping at lunch and on breaks. For the social minded, there is also more opportunity to meet new people. Other than that, I think it's the money spent...

The site is a 5-10 minute walk from the Whitby Go Station. And if anyone is wondering about that big empty area in the middle of the rendering - that is currently occupied by a massive warehouse.

If I could submit it electronically instead. I don't think that anyone is arguing that sales centres aren't valuable or necessary but that it is wasteful to build a temporary building to house one when there are other options available - like Shangri-la chose to do. Obviously there aren't...

so any ideas on whether this will delay the North Market building or will this have to wait for the North Market building to finish?

Just because something isn't a waste of money doesn't mean it isn't a waste. chopping down a tree to print a copy of anne coulter's new book might be profitable but it's a waste of a tree. now, buying anne coulter's new book would be a waste of money.

Wasn't the lot where the park is going supposed to be used as a temporary site for the farmers' market while the North Market building was being redone?
