    Mississauga 2010 Election

    God Save the Queen of Mississauga, O long may she reign!

    Toronto's Obsession With Diversity?

    Who is "their" referring to? Non-white people? Can I choose which of the many diverse cultures in Toronto I belong to, or are my customs, traditions, values, music, cuisine, and language defined by the color of my skin and whatever my ancestors choose to follow? When people see Jack Layton, do...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    They need to convert the Hanlon Exp. to a full freeway, and make it continue on as Hwy. 7 and connect to the Conestoga Parkway in K-W. They need to extend that highway to Stratford. Also a freeway connecting Cambridge to Hamilton directly or via Brantford would be nice. Also extend the 400 to...

    Minorities to be majorities in two CAD cities by 2031, Statistics Canada projects

    Why is "Canadian" a less valid answer than Chinese, Arab, or Polynesian? Would your answer to my question also apply to people who claim to be Mexican, Cuban, or "French-Canadian"? Some people (myself included) do not like to answer ethnic questions because our culture perceives "White"...

    Toronto Toronto | Neptune + Neptune 2 Condominiums | 120.09m | 38s | Lanterra | P + S / IBI

    I agree. People aren't going to take several 45-min roundtrips on the TTC to buy their groceries downtown when it comes up being cheaper to drive to a No Frills or Food Basics once a week.

    Why is religion above criticism?

    The Tanakh, New Testament, and the Qu'ran would be banned as hate speech under our laws if religion was treated like everything else.

    Mis-spelling of words

    Canadian Spelling 101: 1.) Use the British spelling if there's a rule or pattern that can be enforced against unpatriotic (i.e. not America-hating) Canadians. e.g. "colour" not "color" e.g. "centre" not "center" e.g. "catalogue" not "catalog" (most of which are spellings designed for...

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    In terms of alcohol sales reform in Ontario, I'd start by directing by ire toward the Beer Store (Brewers Retail): a private monopoly on beer sales mostly owned by three companies all of which are now under foreign control. There was recently a province-wide petition on it sent to the...

    The Star: 'De-malling' Mississauga's core

    They should encourage more high-density retail and office development in the Cooksville area like the Colonnade. An LRT line that runs between Square One and Cooksville would probably help. If only the GO station was more accessible.

    U.S. Elections 2008

    No way McCain can win without the Bradley effect.

    Toronto Toronto | Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    Don't worry, the design will probably be replaced by a box before it starts construction. After all, this is Toronto.

    Mon Sheong Court (Scarborough)

    whoa whoa whoa, easy on the race card. If someone hates the French language, are they racist? I don't see why someone objecting to the use of Chinese would be racist.

    Insurance Thread (condo/home/rental)

    I got it because my insurance company gave me a deal if I got it along with my car insurance. But considering that I have nothing valuable (money-wise) in my room besides my computer and that I don't have huge parties where I don't know most people, I don't see a purpose in getting renter's...

    Hmm the images aren't showing up for me...

    U of T: Willcocks Common (DTAH)

    An improvement, but they should really do something about the fenced-off wasted green space on the northwest corner just to the right of this picture bordering New College. And the fact that the large "patios" of Sid Smith and McLennan Labs only have an entrance on one side partially explains...

    Moving to Seoul... any advice?

    Make sure you are White. There is nothing more disappointing to ESL recruiters than finding out that their applicant has Black or "Asian" skin. In their minds, White = American and English-native speaker, Blacks = monkeys, Brown = dirty, Asians = fellow compatriots who couldn't possibly speak...

    1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

    Oh great, now we get to have a Metropolis (Toronto Life Square) II: a corner of a prime intersection stuck in limbo for years, surrounded by ugly hoarding. Or maybe they'll build a stump of several stories so we can have a Bay-Adelaide Stump II.

    Cold Calling?

    I got my last job from cold calling. Sometimes it can really be better than replying to a job ad. Cuz if they're really looking for someone the moment you called you and haven't sent out an ad yet, you'll be considered for an interview on the spot without being one of 100+ resumes.

    Northwestern Ontario...the New Province of Mantario? (Globe)

    Ontario is too big (population-wise). It should be split into the following provinces in this map I made:

    Great pic. This view would have been completely different only 2 or 3 years ago.
