http://www.vox.com/2016/8/4/12374644/korryn-gaines-police-shooting-video-baltimore-county IMO, a really good explainer as to where BLM is coming from (warts and all.) While I'm sure it won't change any hardened positions, a thoughtful take.

BTW -- for anyone who's a peach fan, the farmers at East York's Tuesday morning market have baskets of fantastic ripe fruit now that we're into August. The work on the park continues, but they've got 2/3rds of it open now (very nice -- simple and open). Corn's ripe, too.

Shawarma Frenzy mini review: Walked in for a late lunch today and grabbed a wrap for takeout. Two pleasant middle-aged ladies (Greek? Albanian?) who may be owners/managers were sitting at their tables out front. Nondescript fast food decor (dark tiles, formica tables (8-10)). Served me a well...

Hahahaha... melanin is a pigment. Testosterone is a hormone. Pay attention, 'cause that's all the help I am going to give you in regards to pointing out, etc., etc., etc.

Y'all just keep spinning those wheels FCG.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2016/ WaPo doing some heroic lifting in piecing together the picture on US police shootings. The relevance here, of course, is that both 2015 & 2016 percentage for blacks is approx. double percentage of the population. #BLM

Yes, the piece I was referring to was the trench at Chinatown, as my wife was at the Christmas show at Palais de Congres, so instead of walking down Union/Beaver Hall, I walked further east. Since that is where the top of the square leading down to the Old Port is (Place Ville Marie), it seems...

Armour, please forgive me, but your hardened, archaic views on blacks and -- now -- jews are such that you have no standing with me. There are many, many things in the world you don't see, much less the difference between a Ben Shapiro and a John Tory. The Jews are 'strong as ever' 80 years...

Not meant to ridicule -- that just made me laugh. Rather than re-examining your stance re: BLM, when a commentator that you abhor presents a full-throated defence of your stance, you sign on. Why wouldn't you think outside the box and maybe soften your view on BLM? My point -- and really, it's...

Hahaha... OK, that's awesome! "Mr. X is a POS who I hate... except for when he agrees with me, when he becomes 'quite brilliant.'" Sorry, that just made me laugh.

Not even. Restructured recently, bondholders are picking over the bones.

Which part? Should I apologize to your house for comparing it to a rock?

Well, that was a classic pivot.

I'm quite impressed, but probably shouldn't have been, how quickly this argument derails. Sign of the times, I guess. I will say, though, that anyone that -- at this point -- can't understand the offense they're causing by replying 'All Lives Matter' is living under a rock. C'mon, even if you...

Last night we were four at Greenwood Smokehouse, so we did the medium platter and if you're a fan of BBQ, it's a treat. No buns to get in the way, cole slaw and two other sides and we were stuffed. Totally recommended.

Good friend of mine does Houston >> Europe (usually Frankfurt) through Toronto all the time.

It's kind of fun to go back to the beginning of this thread and realize it was started in opposition to these improvements!

Interesting for you to say that. I dropped off my wife for an Air Transat flight and we were pleasantly surprised by how much better and airy the (left) wing was at T3. They'll be able to keep it functional for another ten years, minimum, with the reno. Good that Pearson is extending T1 to the...

That sounds awesome -- anything would be better than what's there now, right? No one parks to go to the cinema or Murphy's Law on Orchard Park, because there's acres of parking behind the OTB in Woodbine Park. Why would that change?
