  1. The Golem

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Also ironic because a few years back Ford tried to compliment "Those Oriental people work like dogs" but now it's an insult that Tory is working like a dog...I'm so confused trying to keep up with the Ford bullshit.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Council should stop Ford from returning until this procedural matter is settled. And then, never settle it.

    The Beer Store: Political Reasons to Keep/Kill It

    When you look at TBS website and their jobs/career opportunities page offering competitive wages and benefits it appears to be a profitable business.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Referring to Ford as 'Leader of the opposition' must be sarcasm
  5. The Golem

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    There is a seniors discount. The disabled have the option of using Wheel Trans. That's not what's happening in Regent Park, although I can understand why some people are 'panicking' about being displaced from their subsidized homes. The old buildings are awful, outdated and need to be replaced...

    The Beer Store: Political Reasons to Keep/Kill It

    It's BS because they're not "opening ownership" in any real way. Local brewers can apply for permission to be allowed to include some limited range of their products in some existing Beer Stores.

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Don't know but Tory was on a media blitz this morning starting around 6 am on talk radio. He's very gung-ho about getting the parking lanes clear during our extended rush hours.

    Toronto 2015 Pan American Games

    No, the Olympics are on a completely different and ludicrous scale. We couldn't even get the planned Scarborough LRT built in time for the Pan Am Games. Let Russia, China and oil-rich oligarchies spend the $10+ billion to host. Unless Rogers runs out of things to buy and wants to bankroll the...

    The Beer Store: Political Reasons to Keep/Kill It

    If the announcement is coming from TBS rather than the Ontario gov't, it's just going to be something minor to try and quiet down the calls to end their monopoly.

    The Beer Store: Political Reasons to Keep/Kill It

    The Star is keeping the pressure on, with an article today. and what follows is a list of names and details on who's influencing whom. Long article well worth reading.

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    On many weekends this summer and fall, the Yonge subway line between Bloor and Eglinton was closed. Do people complaining about these runs affecting service not even use public transit? Or do they have selective memory. Yes Tory is out of touch and really really old. Same age as me but I stay...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    One of the nice things about being a volunteer is that you have the opportunity to take lots of photos and video :) This man completed the marathon while juggling: The Scream How dare these few taxpayers interfere with my Sunday morning antiquing! Again, not true at all. The Beaches...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    You didn't keep reading. In addition to those 2500 runners, the half-marathon has 6,000 participants. And the 5k run (hardly even worth writing about it's so short LOL) pulls in another 2000 people. The joke is on you, not people who are active and involved. And as the saying goes, What's so...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    I know, I'm around Tory's age. But still do charity runs, triathlons and other events both as participant and volunteer.
  15. The Golem

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Okay first of all, Yonge isn't "closed" (only one side of the street is used for the runs), and if you're in a car there isn't really much hardship involved in driving up to Bloor or one of the other cross-streets that have police letting traffic through. On College Street police let streetcars...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Actually Ford also complained about marathons (maybe the early morning start interfered with him returning home after a binge night) and wanted them moved somewhere else, like High Park. Or how about the runs all being done at the private golf club of our Upper Class Twit Of the Mayor's Office...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    This is the problem with electing a really really really old man. He just doesn't get it. A savvy politician would actually promote adult fitness, and show up in the morning to say a few words and signal the start of the event. Glad I already entered the Triathlon and they got their permits for...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Council has reinforced the idea that illegal fundraisers are worth doing
  19. The Golem

    Toronto 2015 Pan American Games

    There will be complaints about traffic and transit during the Games. I expect the Sun to have a lot of articles with people bitching about it. I've worked several running events and even the annual, well-publicized ones that draw tens of thousands of participants have motorists try to get past...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Should have named all councilors as deputy mayors - except Ford.
