    Porter Expanding - C Series Jets

    http://business.financialpost.com/2013/04/10/porter-airlines-cseries/ Looks like they are requesting to lengthen the landing strip and allow jets on the island Good or bad? I personally think it's a great idea. The 100 households living on the island, probably not so much.

    Realtors in Toronto have managed to set up the perfect scheme to turn logical and rational people into making hasty and emotional decisions through blind bidding wars (and end up paying way above value.) Any ideas on how to beat this extremely unfair practice? Some of ones I've come across...

    Allowing Prayer sessions during school time

    Am I the only one that thinks this is absolutely absurd? What kind of precedence is this setting, removing children from their school/learning time to they can learn about religion? And for those that want to defend this, they are already separating the boys from the girls. How backwards...
