  1. You must have heard that passive aggressive quote by Josh Matilow.
  2. I'm a bit of a righty but c'mon, raising the tax rate on millionaires and billionaires to 35% isn't that extreme.
  3. Stalin was more moderate than Paula Fletcher.
  4. Isn't there already one? There's a waiting list isn't there? The idea of this sell-off is to raise money to improve the dozens of businesses apartment buildings TCH owns. What's wrong with that?
  5. LOL at Canadians who watch the entire State of the Union. What CPAC wasn't exciting enough for you?
  6. Oh. At least with private-sector unions the employers ability to pay is a consideration.
  7. With unfettered greed of their own? Local 416 sent out letters warning people that if they were locked out then access to hockey arenas will be limited. http://www.torontosun.com/2012/01/23/holyday-upset-over-cupe-local-416s-letter Bet they didn't do similar stuff when they went on Strike in 2009.
  8. Or you could somehow make sure Franz Ferdinand didn't get assassinated which would mean WW1 wouldn't have happened and the Treaty of Versailles would never have been written and Adolph Hitler would have no fuel for the rage that caused WW2.
  9. Again it's kind of a misnomer because people are paying so much more for Real Estate. Considering what your house is assessed at in Toronto compared to surrounding suburbs, you probably pay more for property taxes.
  10. In a real estate market where single-family dwellings can easily go for $500,000+ it's shocking that people are allowed to rent a subsidized house in Toronto.
  11. Sure. But this has nothing to do with how powerful Public Service Unions have become. It's like they're playing a different game than the rest of us.
  12. When I was younger my parents took me too a Cruise and one of the ports was Mazetlan. The excursion we went on was too a nearby island so I can't really comment on the safety of the city. It's a rather large city though.
  13. The OPP gets its funding from Rob Ford? Who knew?
  14. I'm thinking of going to Cuba next month. Most resorts in Mexico have good security as well. Getting assaulted in your resort is the exception not the rule. There was also the Ianiero Family. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/story.html?id=64b6bebf-9bfe-4d3e-9e6a-be9cb4cd0538&k=20643 But instances of violence on the resort appear to be rare considering how many people go there from Canada.
  15. Not the hotel but I've heard gang violence has stepped up in Mazetlan. Riu resorts have a good reputation actually however.
  16. No but Mazatlan isn't Playa del Carmen. This is a bad thing that's happened make no mistake. But no details were given as to the circumstances of this assault. Are we even sure she was beaten up by a Mexican and not another tourist? But regardless, as soon as a Canadian gets hurt in Mexico the same people come out without any information and ask "Why do people still go to Mexico?" As if it's like going to Lebanon. This happened last week. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/01/17/mexico-canadian-killed.html Why the Hell was he in that town? Was he even a tourist?
  17. Not in Toronto but this one is Classic. http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1092378--hamilton-city-worker-who-crashed-car-while-drunk-gets-to-keep-his-job
  18. I can cite many instances where Unionized public servants didn't end up losing their jobs even though they did something really bad because the Union protected them. http://jimfairthorne.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/sleeping-ttc.jpg That guy never got fired. He did die recently though.
  19. Or the Ontario Premier McLiar or Daddy Dalton. I swear I've seen His Lardness used to describe Rob Ford though.
  20. In this universe. http://jerrysanduskyjokes.com/
  21. Everyone I know that goes to Mexico goes to the Mayan Riviera. It's on the other freakin' end of the country. Don't go to Toronto because there's a heroine problem in Vancouver. That's how retarded these anti-Mexico alarmists sound.
  22. Post the warning and let me see the wording. Should the Canadian government warn people from going to Jane and Finch? Typcasting an entire nation based on an assault that happened in one city on the West coast is assinine.
  23. So you believe an anonymous CBC informant over the Toronto Chief of Police and the OPP commissioner? Just checking.
  24. Yes but Cuba is an oppressive Communist country. Can't go there too. How about Jamaica? The crime rate is high there but they don't shoot tourists so that place is great. Being alarmist about this assault is far worse that people saying the recent Italian Cruise ship running a ground is evidence that Cruise vacations aren't safe.
  25. The Patriots are evil and the Gmen are a team of destiny. Elisha Manning might end up having a better overall legacy than his neck-challenged brother.
