    Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (nCoV-2019)

    Everyone: One year ago today - The anniversary of that dreaded "Friday the 13th" when the thinking by some was a breakdown of society by a disease that many of us knew little or nothing about back then. I always wondered why products such as toilet paper were targeted for mass hoarding... The...

    Successful and Strong Forum websites: Urban Toronto is a great example...

    Everyone: After a longtime personal absence - I have an observation about UT that it has enjoyed continued success and is a strong group of forums. What makes a successful forum website work well and flourish? Is it a good relationship between UT's owners, moderators and membership? I saw what...

    Buffet restaurants or lack thereof

    Everyone: Buffets - especially the AYCE (all-you-can-eat) for one price variety - are an interesting subject. I have eaten at buffets - both Chinese (which have become very popular in the last 25 years) and general and do like the idea of one price for all - but economics are the largest...

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Everyone: After 6 months of the Trump Twitter Presidency here on July 4th it is time to look back at what has transpired so far - this topic is a good overview and shows what some Canadians think of Donald Trump... I now feel that it is not a question of if he will be impeached it is a...

    GO Transit: It was 50 years ago today...

    Everyone: On May 23, 1967 - 50 years ago today - GO Transit began service on the Lakeshore line through Toronto Union Station. As many of us are aware GO Rail began as an experiment that became an overwhelming success and over time evolved into the multi line system that we know today which...

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    WK Lis: This picture reminds me of Obi-Ron-Kenobe ("You're My Only Hope" as mentioned by the late Carrie Fisher)... "Obi-Don-Trump" perhaps? T24: The comments by Carl Paladino about President Barack and Michelle Obama shocked me... If anyone remembers he ran for NY Governor as a Tea Party...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    WKLis: After a long absence I note that you posted the Ontario vanity license plate ROB FORD - October 2010 helps date this picture... Do you or anyone know if this plate is still in use? If not did someone preserve this rare keepsake? Everyone may be interested in RF's Wikipedia page...

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    AB: I agree with you...There was a percentage of some Democrats that did not vote and that gave supporters of Trump an edge that would prevail in the US Electoral College... She took battleground states such as Michigan and Wisconsin for granted and it cost her... Everyone: I was as surprised...

    How do you logout or change settings?

    Ed: Logging out was a problem for me - until I (accidentally) discovered exactly how to do it... I was going to post a new topic - but noticing this subject I will suggest that the Log Out - and for that matter the Log In functions should be easier to find and locate so they are not hidden in...

    Blue Jays

    Everyone: I felt that it was a shame that there had to be a loser in the 2016 World Series taking note that both the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians had not won a championship in many years. I had not felt this way since 2005 - when the Chicago White Sox defeated the Houston Astros in the...

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    Everyone: The New York Daily News has written a very compelling editorial endorsing Hillary Clinton: "Damn Right We're With Her!!!". With the US Presidential Election two days away (11/8) can HC keep her lead...

    Everyone: Try this NY Daily News link for the editorial "BURY TRUMP IN A LANDSLIDE" http://interactive.nydailynews.com/2016/10/daily-news-editorial-bury-trump-in-landslide/ Sorry for the so-so link in my first NYDN post above...LI MIKE

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    Everyone: The New York Daily News - which is no fan of Donald Trump and his conduct during his Presidential campaign - has come out with a 14 segment editorial titled "BURY TRUMP IN A LANDSLIDE". They are in this order: Demagogue Fraudster Head Case Fake Philanthropist Liar Flip-Flopper...

    Kotsy's Toronto Photos

    Kotsy: I enjoy your pictures along with looking for the KOTSY somewhere in every photo... This kind of reminds me of Playboy Magazine covers in which the rabbit head logo is somewhere to be found... LI MIKE

    Blue Jays

    Everyone: The Jays had a good run in 2016 coming from the tough AL East... Not scoring runs no doubt hurt them against Cleveland - they will be a formidable team in the 2016 World Series... If it turns out to be the Cleveland Indians vs. the Chicago Cubs in the WS it would be almost a shame to...

    Who would you like to see win the 2016 US election?

    Everyone: After a long absence I noted this topic on the US Presidential Election and liked WKLis's posting about the lesser of two evils here (Page 26)... I totally agree with his statement here... I wanted to see how UT members are taking notice on this US Election from a Canadian...

    What would Toronto be like today if the 1998 amalgamation never happened?

    K of K: Good thought about Toronto's outer boroughs being a combination of both city and suburb. In New York City the eastern half of Queens, the southernmost parts of Brooklyn and much of Staten Island fit that category of being both a combination of city and suburb. I have noticed that...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    WKL and Everyone: Thanks for the Toronto Sun link with the information on Rob Ford's wake and funeral. What this looks like to me is that this will turn into a public spectacle - a two day wake and viewing at City Hall with a public church service is much more then I had expected. What I...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Expat and Everyone: I just found out about the death of Rob Ford from my local cable news channel - News 12 Long Island - in between the reports on today's terrorist attacks in Brussels and how the New York area is reacting by ramping up security at transportation hubs of all types in this...

    What would Toronto be like today if the 1998 amalgamation never happened?

    Everyone: Now that 18 years have passed since amalgamation of the six borough Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto into the unified current City of Toronto I will ask: Can there be a referendum to bring back a four borough Metro government? I have always found that Torontonians consider and...
