The rings at the Grindhouse used to be somewhat bland, but I had them a few days ago and they were actually great...I think they just needed a bit of salt. Also, the burger was great, as always. The Grindhouse remains my favourite of the new burger places in the city. I wish they had their take...

I think Red works on the inside and the outside. I believe that the lower level can be open-air in the summer and enclosed in the winter. Orange would be my second choice.

I'm not sure if this would be too mainstream for you or not, but I've seen various people getting wedding pictures taken at the Guildwood Park grounds in Scarborough, and I think it's a nice place with some neat architectural detailing. http://www.toronto.ca/culture/the_guild.htm...

It is if the same people (or equally qualified people) would be willing to work for less. The point isn't how much the job is "worth" or how hard or dangerous it is, it's in finding the lowest amount that you have to pay to still get good people. Given that the Toronto Police force is...

Yeah there's no way that a $150K household in the states is only paying just over $10,000 in income tax. The lowest US tax bracket (on about the first $10,000 of income) is 10%, so I can't see how the total tax paid for someone earning $100K is under that amount.

I'll never understand why people seem to avoid the Entertainment District. I live in the District Lofts just west of Peter on Richmond and it's a fantastic location. It's walking distance to stores, restaurants, and my work, and the units also happen to have great layouts. I've lived here for...

To follow up on my above comment, the Grindhouse (at King and Peter) now offers an 8oz burger for those with larger appetites. This place is probably my favourite burger place in the city.

I think that this is a very interesting idea and should be studied further. It also definitely doesn't require disbanding the TTC; the TTC operators could be spun off into a separate company that would bid against other private corporations for the right to run the routes. If the TTC is actually...

I agree. I wasn't saying that I agreed with this particular plan per se, just that I don't disagree with making the TTC an essential service, as long as it's done in the context of a larger change to the arbitration mechanism.

The only problem with this is that the arbitrated settlements that would result are for some reason always more favourable to the union than they should be. If we can put some mechanism in place to ensure that arbitrated settlements actually come to a fair result, then I have no problem with...

Are you kidding? You can get poutine in tons of places, including specialized poutine 'restaurants' like Smokes. Here's an article about poutine in TO: http://www.blogto.com/toronto/the_best_poutine_in_toronto/ Regarding burgers, I've heard that Allen's is the best, but I haven't tried it...

Despite the tax breaks and rebates, the public is still against it. Ergo, McGuinty must be doing it for some reason other than to curry favour with the public (ie some reason other than getting re-elected, other than being "self serving"). I'm not sure why that's so hard to understand. Also...

No, not a fact. It's only a fact if you believe that there will be no long-term benefits to condo owners from the HST (or that the long-term benefits will not outweigh the increase in condo fees). The only thing you could be basing this theory on is your gut instinct, since every economist out...

Knowing you don't know doesn't sound uncertain to me. It's certainty of uncertainty no doubt, but it's certainty nonetheless. That being said, I think that this whole discussion went well off track. Whether science can reveal the "ultimate truth" or not, it's still a lot more helpful if...

Sorry re: the calculations, I confused you and "The_Waffler". You've also gone further than simply stating that you have a right to an opinion (as of course you do), you've stated your opinion, and a part of that opinion was that government "hardly has a track record of honesty" and that...

So by your own calculations, you're only $175 behind after the HST. If that's the worst-case scenario, is that really that bad? An extra $15 a month? You could say that that's a lot of money for lower-income residents, but of course they will be receiving a larger GST/HST credit, so the increase...

No. Income taxes are going down for everyone that pays income tax, whether you make $15,000/year or $15,000,000/year. As long as you're making over 40K/year you'll be saving about $300 per year in income tax.

Although having both direction-based and terminal-based might be fine, the direction-based signs may still be confusing in some situations (for example if you're at King station and need to go to Spadina, you should head south on the YUS line - not the most intuitively obvious path given that...

It should be noted that only certain regulated professions can defer receiving income through incorporation. A salaried employee generally cannot. The current system of fines provides no deterrence for high-income individuals. It's as simple as that. If the purpose of the fine is to deter a...

I agree with getting rid of the east/west/north/south signage and replacing it with the terminal stops, as is done pretty much everywhere else in the world I've been. I also really agree with numbering the exits (and elevators), and I would also like to see maps of the area immediately...
