so, if this theory is to be believed, there are two (possibly three) conspiracies racing to outmaneuver each other - the Crown and the Police, the Fords' legal team, and maybe a bunch of mid-to-high level street gang dealers trying to keep themselves from getting done for long sentences? (also...

hi jude. welcome to the thunderdome.

i'm reading paul wells book about stephen harper and paul martin. strikes me that someone, somewhere, has been paying for a lot of polls to keep the mayor on message (well, determining what the message should be, and handing script over to the mayor and his brother). wells discusses the theory...

York may have a lot of hills, but most certainly it does not have fog. It's not very gay, or queer; and it isn't very punk or hippie either. There was, however, a lot of Caribbean folks (mostly Jamaican) on Eglinton when I grew up there. I have been trying to remember what the Mayor has...

i would dearly love to see the sub thread where 70's "new musical genres" gets debated. in other news, i'm fascinated by vella musing about running. i'm surprised there aren't more police on council.

i just finished watching season 1 of the newsroom. if havelove is some jr producer at ctv riling us all up for a story about trolls, i will be kind of pissed off. especially if there's no sloan sabbith on here.

southeast corner of greenwood and danforth is the tim horton's in the former movie theatre. south west corner has the parking lot for the beer store. adjacent to the beer store, one door west, is a small LCBO. i know this from patronizing all three last year when i lived there briefly.

my gf observed that hollywood threatens people with multi-million dollar lawsuits and jail time for leaking movies, but people do it anyways. the threat of prison seems sufficient to keep this video from leaking. could it be that the people who have it on their hard drives now - police guns and...

does the traffic at urban toronto justify the expense of paying someone to post here? i'm enamoured of the site, but i tend to think of it as piqueing the interest of a small group of people. i would be delighted to be wrong!

probably near bracebridge.

i don't know any of the details, but my sister-in-law's father was injured so severely riding his bicycle this week that they don't expect him to survive the emergency surgery with any chance of a decent quality of life. life support is likely getting removed this evening. so, small towns ain't...

I have seen it nosed about several times - from where exactly, I don't recall - by both politicians and members of the public that subway construction can be accomplished by as little as 100m at a time. Perhaps Holyday meant station by station - as in, build the tunnel to where the next station...

yeah, i was thinking about this reading this thread just now. seems like many of the mayor's supporters are also sports fans, and treat politics like sports team appreciation. it does tend to make the rather uncomfortable similarities between sports - the arena, the chanting, the rhythm, the...

Mayor's gone on vacation, apparently.

first off, i kind of wonder if freshcutgrass is my building super. i am leaning towards yes. secondly, ostroff's article in huffpo tears perks a strip up and down, but i agree with perks. i worked at the economic development corporation, and then at the business improvement area; recalling...

thisssssssssssssss.

Reviewing CowboyLogic's posts - btw, a handy feature - this seems to be where the discussion regarding the Star began. These are the examples you refer to later: 1 magnet issue - an example of several manufactured controversies for every real controversy 2 articles published mocking weight...

there's gotta be toronto city hall fanfic somewhere. i wonder if it includes staff, or if only councillors are allowed - and what about scoobies in the gallery? are they fair game? the press gallery? as long as we're objectifying our elected officials, why not cross that nebulous border of good...

WOOHOO! Parkdale and Liberty Village are, as per that hilarious map of hawc's, part of Ford Nation. I wonder if Gord Perks will immediately begin his Roncesvalles Avenue road reclamation project to protect car drivers from the ravages of streetcars?

let me share with you a lesson i learned when i was shown how to edit news interviews, on reel-to-reel 1/4" tape: measure twice, cut once. when you are on your hands and knees looking at a dozen tiny little pieces of tape for the one with the important syllable (for instance, if a politician...
