    Rob Ford - Why the Supervillian?

    He's enterataining to say the least. I know little about politics.I can't say he'd be good or bad for toronto. But, I like to be able to read people. Sometimes I feel politicians are so overly controlled in their responses that I feel the are not being authentic,and just catering to others for...

    Are all Toronto hospitals like this?

    I'm not being difficult here,but, it's not as easy as you think to certify foreign docs. Having worked and even interviewed some docs from other countries, often foreign training is very sub par to north american training and treatment.

    Are all Toronto hospitals like this?

    Well, I've worked in health care for 15 years. I've worked ER, Oncology and Psychiatry. ER is the most messed up place you could ever step into. It is true that on holidays and nights, most ER's have only one doctor. Rn's are very hard to come by...I've worked in ER's where over 50 % of the...

    Are all Toronto hospitals like this?

    TEGH is where I first worked when I moved here from Montreal. I was shocked at how behind the times it was..I left after 2 months. It was like working in a hospital from 70's. The worst hospital I have ever experienced though is HRRH near Jane/Wilson....scary

    Wanna try something funny? Try doing exactly the speed limit anywhere you are driving, give pedetrians LOTSA room, actually make a full stop at red lights before turning right. Do your stop signs for 3 seconds...I've been doing this for a few weeks, and I swear other drivers are giving me the...

    Rental Car Agency Nightmare

    I dunno what you should do.. I had a similar experience. I had some work done on my honda, they gave me a loner car until the work was done. I dropped off the loner in about a week, when my car was done. Well, stupid idiots that the Honda garage are..they rent cars from a rental company in...

    Olympic Figure Skaters, offensive or not?

    it's just flat out funny! Offensive? I doubt it, even if they were trying to look aboriginal...they did a poor job, that's nothing to be offended about. Maybe they were also trying to pay respect to B.C> pot, as the leaves they are adorned with look tempting :)

    Moving to Quebec - Advice?

    I don't think it'll be that bad...just speak whatever french you know, but, I would make an effort to learn what they locals are speaking. I think you posted you do graphic design freelance?

    Graffitti and the inspiration that comes....

    I think were on the same page..I actually like the art you posted..in short, what I'm trying to say is, art is art, no matter who does it or how they do it or what they do with it. Graffiti is art in my opnion, some I like, some I don't ...I guess I'm different in that I am aware that most...

    Graffitti and the inspiration that comes....

    It's opinion like you said in your earlier post... I can describe what I like perfectly, but, I shouldn't have to tell anyone that I like a particular work because it reminds me of damien hirsch's work or because I love the media the artist chose. I like installation art, but, I don't have to...

    Graffitti and the inspiration that comes....

    lol, oh yes it does. Of course I'm aware it's a cliche. But one person's art is anothers garbage.. I don't have to know the history of art to like a painting. I don't have to know anything about music to appreciate a good pop song. ..Like it or not, most people will not relate to grafitti as...
