Passed by the building today and I noticed that the sign regarding the sale price [I think they were starting at $500,000] has been removed and now it says "Rental". Has this building been changed from a condo to a rental building??

That's true but I think it also depends on how much you're willing to put up with as a landlord. You get more money doing a $1290 for 445 sq ft, but you also get the hassles. The building I live in is mostly university students, so the turnover is big. Which means more money spent on...

I've been looking ahead to when I retire because based on what my retirement income will be, I won't be able to afford the place I'm living in now. Downtown rentals are slim pickings especially if you want something half-decent. My only choice will be to go for a small brownstone. They've...

I try to keep in mind that there were people cheering OJ Simpson when he went crawling down the highway in his white Ford bronco. There will always be a section of the population who cheer for the OJs and Rob/Dougs. There's no rhyme or reason to it and to figure out "why?" is like trying to...

My question is, have enough anti-Ford councillors been elected so that Rob doesn't continually hijack things when it comes time to vote on issues??

Yes, that would be me. I haven't voted in any election - federal, provincial or municipal- in about 20 years. But I'll be the first one in the voting booth on Monday. Not only that, I've tried to look at all the councillors and where they stand on issues; something that I've never done...

Then all the more reason to get a colonoscopy if you're the right age for it. The actual test itself isn't bad [they give you plenty of drugs]; it's the preparation that's a pain. Kevin Donovan just said on CBC that they'll now start looking a bit deeper into Doug Ford and see what they can...

Hmm, a few details seem to be missing from his plan- He talks about the private sector kicking in some money. Really? Where's his list of companies that have agreed to that? And cancelling the LRT? Isn't there a cancellation fee involved if that happens? I could be wrong, but I had...

I didn't understand her point about "I’m a migraine sufferer and taking public transit is hard on me." Huh? What about all the people who suffer from asthma? It's okay for them to put up with car pollution because she suffers from migraines?

"I can’t imagine where you go to get groceries if you live downtown or along the waterfront, those guys probably drive to Mississauga." Dear Irene: "Those guys" don't have to drive to Mississauga if they live downtown. Not when they've got: 1. Sobey's at Front/Sherbourne 2. Loblaws...

She lost me at "Whether he was drunk or sober, his thinking was affected by drugs and alcohol. If this sounds like an excuse, you’ll have to forgive me. I’ve listened to too many people like Ford to believe otherwise. I’ve spoken to doctors, lawyers and business executives who have uttered...

I wonder how hilarious she'd find it if a drugged-up, liquored-up Ford rammed his car into a relative of hers.

Is there any way to campaign to reverse amalgamation? Because if Scarborough and Etobicoke want Ford as mayor, that's fine. But why should the rest of Toronto have to be saddled with him? Also, assuming the worst and Ford somehow manages to win again...how would he even be able to get his...

I don't know if this has been discussed yet but I have a few questions: 1. What happened to Ford's threat that he was going to sue both the people who gave sworn statements to the cops AND the city for stripping him of his powers? I'm thinking the media should start a running...
