    Canada to cut back on visas and immigration permits to extended family

    We may draw the circles of responsibility differently, but don't think for a moment that others don't have it. I will take care of my parents in their old age and they will take care of my children. We are always responsible for one another.

    Canada to cut back on visas and immigration permits to extended family

    Hey, free childcare ain't nothing to sneeze at. These days it might not even be worth keeping a low-paid job if you have to pay daycare costs. Also, if mom's always bowing out of the workforce to watch the kids (and it usually is mom), this easily derails her career and long-term earning...

    Canada to cut back on visas and immigration permits to extended family

    No, but any place influenced by Confucianism is going to have some major filial piety going on. This includes China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore... anyplace Confucian values have travelled to over the last 2500 years.

    Yeah, I find it disappointing. I kind of miss the red on top.

    Ford Wants NFL Team For Toronto

    The NFL season is much much shorter than the NHL's, so it's much easier to sustain that sort of intensity. At most a Super Bowl winner plays 20 games. A Stanley Cup winner plays at least 98. If the Leafs played only 16 games a season I think this city would plotz. edit: I assume NCAA teams play...

    Looking for a Better TV Service

    My dad got one of them. First he built his own; got a fair amount of channels but he thought he could do better. Now there's a pretty big antenna on the roof and he gets quite a few more. This is out in Mississauga by Applewood Heights, so it's high-ish ground with not much blocking the way of...

    Leafs win cup!!!???

    Toronto went pretty damn nuts when the Jays won. If the Leafs finally did it, I'd imagine we'd be hung over for a week.

    You might try contacting some churches. A lot of them accept clothing donations for the 'Out of the Cold' programme.

    The library building at UTM is named after her.

    Sexual innuendo? Every skyscraper on earth is a phallic symbol.

    Mississauga (non-mall) Retail

    Real Chinese food isn't exactly slow to begin with, and there's plenty of that available already.

    Mississauga (non-mall) Retail

    I like the Oceans. What I've had of the hot food was way better than T&T's, and they have a wider variety of products -- not just East Asian stuff. If I recall correctly, the ceiling is painted a dark colour, but it's not exactly dark in there.

    Time-Based Versus Distance-Based Fares

    But Vancouver's way smaller than Toronto.

    Mississauga 2010 Election

    hmm. "Only" 76% for Hazel this time. And Parrish is gone!

    Time-Based Versus Distance-Based Fares

    Vancouver has both -- 3 zones and a 90 minute transfer window. But the zones go away after 6:30 pm and on weekends/holidays.

    LOL. This new branding reminds of the old slogan: "My way is your way... BiWay"

    But surely there are many, many ways to design a voluptuous, twisting building. Nobody gives up building boxes because there exists one particularly spectacular specimen of box. It's just disappointing to me that some of the reaction is not "hey, that's cool -- let's build something even...

    Ugh. There is no 'saving'. If great architecture downtown is rare, it's not because somebody somewhere else used it all up.

    Toronto Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto | 207.86m | 53s | Graywood | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    It'll be brighter this way. If it was clear, you'd have half of the light going out the other side.
