  1. From what I hear, if you listen to the video closely you can hear them mention his name. Reporters figured that out.
  2. Least shocking thing ever. The shooting cop is now getting threats according to the Police union head.
  3. http://www.680news.com/2013/07/22/coun-doug-ford-lashes-out-at-toronto-newspaper/ Yeah Doug Ford mentioned it. I can't find proof of it but there were radio interviews in the wake of Ford's rant with the property manager where he detailed encounters with Dolittle.
  4. She was hounding the Property Manager for his Condo down in Florida. That goes beyond City Hall business.
  5. The guy who wrote Marley and Me based the book on columns he wrote for a newspaper. I have no problem with her writing a book while working for a publication. I just find her fixation on Ford rather creepy.
  6. I didn't know an acronym could sound "English" http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/dailybrew/teen-quebec-entrepreneur-fights-back-against-overbearing-french-140514747.html I guess when the rest of the country supports you financially you can be so ridiculously picky about how people do business in your province.
  7. The Big 3 are doing a major media push today saying allowing Verizon into Canada will cost Canadian jobs.
  8. There's no benefit to them. They have no shot at forming a government. Right now they control the balance of power so they can force the Liberals to do things they may not do otherwise. I've heard musing that based on the results of these elections you could end up in a situation similar to what we saw in the Federal election where the Liberals are relegated to 3rd party status.
  9. Mobile devices are the future of computing. People don't often use cells for phone calls anymore.
  10. $200 for a non-family plan cell phone package is a sucker bill. The person probably doesn't even read their bill or see what they're being charged for. Smart consumers will know how to keep their bill down and tailor it to their needs. I only pay for 200 daytime minutes because most of my communication is through texting. You have to play the game with them and know the term "rentention department".
  11. What has Ford stolen? Does he have a scandal that even approaches eHealth, Ornge and the Gas Plant cancellation?
  12. He was on the Sunshine List so it'll be tough to replace that income. Perhaps that's why he's devastated.
  13. We have a name. http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2013/07/30/toronto_police_officer_who_shot_sammy_yatim_identified.html I imagine the fact that he's "devastated" indicates he knew he did something wrong.
  14. It appears the Scarborough seat will go to the Liberals. The Liberals made another cynical flip flop in supporting a subway to Scarborough when they were calling for an LRT.
  15. They would argue they have that right because they invested the capital to build the network. Of course they had help from the Fed. It's sort of circular argument. No easy answer. We still don't know what Verizon's business model in Canada will be so anything we say on this matter is purely speculative.
  16. I've been led to believe the reason the smaller carriers aren't doing to well is that they just don't have coverage or signal the big boys do. For example Wind doesn't offer 4G/LTE. I was tempted to go with Wind but one thing you have to say about a company like Rogers, they do seem to reward loyalty. If Verizon can achieve the signal strength of Bell and Rogers then I'm sure they will succeed. But that remains to be seen.
  17. If Verizon wants to come here and undercut Rogers et all, God Bless them. I just wouldn't hold my breath.
  18. If you look closely at the video, Rob Ford can be seen smoking crack in the background. I swear!
  19. Well we see with Target that they aren't offering undercutting other retailers like Walmart because they don't have to. Canadians are conditioned to pay more.
  20. Well we see from Target and Walmart coming up to Canada that American companies don't necessarily provide the same value they offer Americans. Wind Mobile offers a great unlimited plan for a good price but they didn't have the coverage so if you leave their zone you get charged roaming. If Verizion can get the coverage of the Big 3 and offer prices comparable to Wind then they would do great. But would they?
  21. None of us are conducting a legal proceedings. We are basing our opinions on the evidence that is available to the public. Should new information surface, I'm sure reasonable people will modify their opinions of the case.
  22. Yeah but after the first 3 shots he stopped for 5 seconds! Meaning he must have achieved his objective of neutralizing the target. Most reasonable people think the additional 6 shots were overkill as if the cop was enraged or something.
  23. Because an American company that's larger than the Big 3 companies combined can buy one of the smaller companies but none of the Big 3 can.
  24. I hope this thread doesn't cause Beliebers to spam the board. If so I hold Topaz 100% culpable.
  25. Stephen Colbert addressed this story last night. Apparently the 3rd page of London's Sun actually has naked ladies. Step your game up Toronto Sun!!!!! He compared asking your IP for porn to Oliver Twist asking for more gruel. LOL!
