    Good points, but how do the banks do it. ALot of transactions now are only initiated online (such as an online bill payment) but im sure te banks must have some kind of other backup that can be referred to. Also, lots of employees must have access to our accounts such thatthey could take out...

    Toronto and the Provincial Election

    i think that this low voter turnout will provide greater impetus for opening up online voting I feel that not being able to vote online (and further, being restricted to voting at a specific polling centre, at a specific poll booth or whatever) really hinders ability to vote. As an...

    Mortgage opinions required, help!!

    Hi Apollo. I am a mortgage agent working at a brokerage. I've left you a detailed PM with some suggestions. For public knowledge, i'll say that the 5 yr variable rate being offered is not that competitive, and the 5 yr fixed rate can be beaten as well. As for your other question, those...

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    It varies, according to the quran recommended to start a child praying at age 7, start disciplining/really enforcing at age 10, and it becomes obligatory once a child hits puberty To make it easy, id say start it at grade 6 all the way to grade 12 for students.

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    Sounds simple in practice, but how would such an idea be implemented? If you just give them the entire Friday afternoon off, then that takes away 2-3 solid hours of learning per week. Are they going to get make up classes on weekends? Tutoring? If not, and its take it or leave it, then while it...

    How Can Toronto improve? How can Toronto become a better city overall?

    Realistically, I think a Toronto sales tax or some variation thereof - that is to say, broadened taxation powers - is the thing Toronto needs most...we need to reduce dependence on ontario (and federal) govt to get things done This way, we can have a real discussion about how we want to...

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    Very well, but thanks for ignoring the context of my response. I accept that I'm not going to be able to change your mind on this. Excellent points. I think tolerance is the key here - there are things I believe in that you dont, and things you believe in that i dont, but in the end we can...

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    The answer to your most of your question is yes. BUT (and this is probably getting into the TMI territory for most), there are simillar kinds of rules (though not as strict) about mens ejaculation also being impure, so this is less about trying to single out women and more about the manner in...

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    If I read the article correct (http://www.torontosun.com/2011/07/07/public-school-prayer-sessions-criticized), that was a hypothetical rather than something that actually happened. So yeah, prejudice. Please, dont assume you know me or my opinions.

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    Your wish is that what should happen exactly? Since you seem to be more knowledgable (or have better references), please elaborate re Shia/Sunni. However, I concede your point re Ismailis. Im not an authority, but yeah, it sounds reasonable to me.

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    How do you know the children are being radicalized? Other than your own prejudice, do you have any reason to believe so? In any event, If I was doing PR for this parent group, Id offer the Ministry/School the Imams CV/resume and have him meet with the administration (this may have been done...
