Needless to say I am very disappointed in these election results - i cant watch TV news anymore, or CBC Power in Politics - its bad for my health. Liberals lost due to uncharismatic leader NDP soared to new heights because of charismatic leader Harper won by communicating fear of unknown and...

You cant see this but I'm wringing my hands apologetically OK Toronto Forumers, esp, keithz, TonyV, doady, generationW etc I did make a mistake but not detailing WHY in my initial post. And I made another mistake by calling out that paid schill for the PC's - it was an emotional...

Where to Watch Victoria Day Fireworks in Toronto? Where are the best places downtown to watch the Victoria Day fireworks ? The parks are always crowded and no parking spots and no empty bike posts and traffic... The fireworks happen out over Lake Ontario, in a few different places so its...

Well I dont mind if they put these cameras up... But I would like to be able to REQUEST and RECEIVE footage from them. The public should have access to the footage JUST LIKE THEY DO IN ENGLAND. That way we could access the footage that was recorded during events and watch both the police and the...
