    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    How is that just in my head? If you don't agree with me, fine, but just because you don't like my opinion doesn't make me delusional. ... and I was agreeing with what they said, I never defended them not being there or said it was OK. It would be back-peddling if I had defended their absence...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    That was aimed at the media's double standard at the time where they seemed to say that the torching of cars and harassment of officers was "unfortunate" and someone getting arrested as a result of that was "unthinkable and inhumane". Yeah, they weren't there at the time...I dunno why. I asked...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    You're talking about black and white saying that harrassed officers, destroyed property and torched cars is better than having some supposedly innocent people thrown into jail for a day. I never defended the governments expenditure or strategy- I have no idea why they wern't there at that time...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    The police had bottles of piss and rocks thrown at them and the perpetrators at most got arrested in return. And why is it OK for people to torch cars, loot stores and attack officers but it's not OK for those officers to arrest the suspects in the area for 1. Perpetrating the crime and 2...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    I agree with you 100% about officer bubbles, I wasn't coming out against him. As a matter of fact the video of him cuts out the piece between him telling her to stop and her getting arrested making it look like she was arrested on completely illegitimate grounds. She obviously did something in...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    Personally, I don't blame the officers for removing their badges...look what happened to people like "officer bubbles". And yeah, most of those people cause trouble- in all the videos that these people post they're seen mocking/taunting the police and getting completely outraged when they...

    1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    I've been noticing a ton more of the H-series trains on the YUS line...are they moving them there so they can junk 'em when the TRs arrive?

    Finch Station bus platform resurfacing

    And the refurbishment staircase at Osgoode station to the west side of University is taking months...or are they done that yet? Haven't been there in a bit. Regardless, it seems they could prolly get that job in about 1/10 of the time.

    Why Is Immigration a Success In Canada?

    It's easy for an immigrant to shy away from Canadian culture in TO because they can find a gated community suited to their background...

    Why Is Immigration a Success In Canada?

    Race says nothing about a persons lifestyle. Religion is an adopted lifestyle/belief. I won't listen to someone who says they don't like someones race, but if they say they don't agree with a groups lifestyle/beliefs, that doesn't make them racist. Mind you, what in this thread has to do with...

    I went ahead and voted for Rob Ford today

    Nono, I don't wanna bring people down to the lowest denominator- but regardless, that wouldn't happen without the fair wage policy- remember, we're not in China. The private sector salaries are fair enough, and I don't know why the city needs to dig deeper into it's pockets to raise that bar.

    I went ahead and voted for Rob Ford today

    Well, it's the suburban people that he's gotten ignited over high taxes, and they say they'd vote for him on a platform that for the most part ignores the downtown. I'm not saying it makes sense- that's why I don't want him :O

    I went ahead and voted for Rob Ford today

    I remember reading it in an article, I'll try to dig it up. Because it costs more to get things in the city done. It's not a fair wage policy, it's an exuberant wage policy. It's the kind of mindset that pays a TTC ticket collector $70 000 a year to sit in a booth, and it might be great for...

    I went ahead and voted for Rob Ford today

    Over his term we've seen drastic salary increases, and the settlement with the garbage strike was a joke- Miller got hardly close to what he wanted. And mind you, Ford wants to scrap the fair wage policy. A guy who lives in the suburbs and would rather tax cuts than a nice downtown would want...
