That's some Groucho-type thinking there, but it puts a fine point on the situation. Well done.

That location is cursed to have nothing but middling places in it I guess.

Sure is a good thing that they killed the COLA and stole the re-earnable performance increase from the Non-Union staff to the tune of $20 million while utterly capitulating to L416 and 79 for a total of 6% over the next three years. Only plus on this is that from out of a nightmare a great...

That place will make a killing there. As a Tim's shareholder I approve of this move very highly.

From what I heard the guy wasn't targeted because he was gay but because he'd inadvertently brushed someone's car as they drove by. Either way, dude didn't deserve to die by any means whatsoever. I hope they catch the scumbags who did it and throw the book at them. Mind you, with our...

Well known fact that you can pull 10-15% more when there's pretty girls present. 25% when they're watching. Testosterone is a funny thing.

Anyone remember a few months ago when the guy was busted stealing trees from the Lucky Moose? The story was that he was boosting trees from outside the store, the store owner pursues him (after having seen him do this same crime several times before via security camera), catches him, ties him...

My old landlord was big into professional bodybuilding and had back issues of all the major magazines dating back to the 1980s - he gave me a stack of old MuscleMags a while back, and one from 1980 had an interview with a guy at Mack's gym, complete with pictures of the gym with Mack in the...

Biggest I've seen are 150s as well: a guy can dream though. My spot now has only 90s (my only complaint). On a bright side, I bet there's loads of good looking people at your gym though. Always a plus. Mine's got that if you're into dudes. I, however, am not into dudes and thus am stymied.

X1000. There is no excuse for middling Mexican food these days. If I can walk to La Tortilleria (for example) from your restaurant and eat food that's infinitely superior to yours for under $10, there's really no reason for you to to exist.

This guy lives around the corner from me on the edge of the village. Not only that, there's two of these people with the white face makeup. I interviewed a girl a few years ago with the whole routine as well. I can't tell if its an unpopular cult or just a shared psychosis.

I can't even begin to imagine what passes for lifting at a gym like that. Let me guess - there's a predominance of machines, rubber coated dumbbells, swiss/bosu balls and people who don't lift real weight because they 'don't want to get bulky'. This city needs more cheap gyms (read: a room...

I think it reopened for a few months and then closed again. I get the impression that they were trying to undo what the show had done, but just ran out of money. Damn shame as its a decent little spot. Outmatched for breakfast by Daybreak, but thats neither here nor there.

Besides, Timothy's is full of bears who don't really judge anyone from my experience. The patio at the Rainbow's usually the spot to people watch and where judgement's going on if at all, and to a lesser extent, O'grady's. I wish I had lived here when the steps were around: there's no...

No doubt. First pitbulls, now cyclists. Dude's going to war on everything.

Why would you want to tear down one of the only decent public buildings in this city? The outside of the ref isn't the best thing, but the inside is unreal.

You realize that that's the previous Collective Agreement and that the new one hasn't been published yet, right?

Every picket line was videotaped by the City. Every single one. Yet throughout the strike Miller repeatedly indicated that they did not have enough evidence to pursue injunctions to mandate protocols for each picket line into place. I highly doubt that 416 getting a blanket amnesty was...

Right. He's referring to the three civilians who were busted for fighting with CUPE whilst being delayed crossing picket lines. The only union-affiliated individual charged was the head of the EMS unit in 416, and he jeopardized the response over Pride weekend by stealing an ambulance. Who...

An excellent idea but wouldn't happen. Take a look at the stink L416 raised when Cochrane got the library unit to split after he retired. The solid waste aspect of 416 holds so much clout that they'd be loathe to let them leave. A separate local for EMS workers would be in order as...
