With the existing buildings at 1 Bloor East and 1 Bedford gone, where am I supposed to go for some Harvey's?

Let's not talk about changing the past, it's gone. For the future: a.) Mandatory English & French language testing for those who claim that they "speak English" unless they hold citizenship /have lived in an English/French-speaking country for the past 5 years. This avoids the recent...

Most people here complain that highways are bad, and that tearing down highways will lead to a healthier, more urban city because people will be taking public transit and/or walking. The problem here is that THIS IS NOT EUROPE. Well, not until we build 5 more subway lines and have streetcars on...

Huh? Not distinguishing "rider" and "writer" is Canadian Raising. ah-i vs. uh-i (i the vowel in "bit") Urban Shocker, the elite along the coast of the Northeast continued to have contact with Britain after the Revolution, so their speech contains British innovations to sounds that have...

In Canada, one cannot criticize immigration without being called a racist.

I got "North Central" (Minnesota).

As I mentioned before, we should separate undergraduate schools from research-oriented grad schools. In this way, universities can specialize as either research institutions or primarily undergraduate four-year colleges. In this way, undergraduates can enjoy a better education because they will...

IMO, NO. As I said in my last post, "I consider any pure-bred Canadian who devotes all of their heart to helping the people of Toronto as Old Torontonian, as opposed to those loyal to their home province/country and only here for convenience or a job." Through her efforts she saved so many of...

What does Nathan Phillip being Jewish or you having grandparents that came from abroad have to do with anything? I am discussing people who think that New Torontonians are everyone who aren't ORIGINALLY from Toronto.

Sorry to disappoint you, jaymackay, but either of those men, when they become the King of Canada, will become legally Canadian by the Constitution, so there is no use in debating on how they are unrelated to Canada, because one of them will soon be as Canadian as (or maybe more than!) you and...

The Americans, Irish, Australians, and even the South Africans, Indians, Malaysians, Ghanians, Egyptians, and Sudanese wouldn't be what they are today because of the British Crown. Should they then keep the British Crown because of the pivotal British influence on their history, whether good or...

It is only baiting if you are self-conscious and insecure of your own intentions and significations in your own original post. To clear this up, why don't you define what exactly you mean by "New Torontonian"? I have nothing but respect for her and her duty, humility, and generosity, as you...

It's simple. Native speakers are good at conversational speech, while non-native speakers are often good at grammatical and technical terms. At a Grade 10 level, English tests usually focus on the latter.

A Google Search of New Toronto only yields results about the South Etobicoke community. Is that where she called home after growing up in Guelph? What about her is quintessentially "New Toronto"? We've lost a great Canadian who did her best to help her country in a time of crisis. I think it's...

Do they still have that Level 4 bullsh*t these days? I should ask a kid about it.

What is this "New Toronto"?

How is 18 stories too tall when the Holiday Inn is across the street?

When you see a guy and think that he must love rice and tea because his eyes are shaped funny.

They usually check right after 11pm so you could hide in the bathroom until they leave. it usually takes them 5 min to check. You'll have to use the bathroom on the same floor as the room you're studying at because they have student ID-checkers at the entrance to each floor.

Yes, but this applies to people of any race, not just whites. People should not view a person of Asian race moving into their city as better or worse than a person of White race. Having a variety of skin tones doesn't make a place better or worse, it's the diversity of ideas and personalities...
