Long Weekend

And 61 per cent of Torontonians support an Olympic bid (according to a poll published by The Star and others). WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN?

This is what you get for hosting the Pan Am Games. What else did you expect?

I have a lockable glove box. A little bit unusual.

It is very interesting, just like a conversation I had recently with my wife regarding how technology (Google Self-Driving Car Project) must be leveraged / used as a tool to reduce the number of OPP police officers on the payroll (in the next 30 years, a percentage of the officers will have to...

I don't think it will be a long time. We are quickly moving away from the USA "think-model" into a more European framework, and this kind of thing happens there all the time. Remember the video from Paris, a few years ago? Just one example... nobody called the cops...

For me, the biggest issue is the cops. How is it possible that the police is trying to enforce a law that doesn't exist? A cop that is not aware of the law perhaps should not be allowed to be a cop at all. On top of knowing, officers need to show common sense, discretion, and good judgement...

Well, probably not. One of the sister is the lovely Alysha Brilla. http://www.riffyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Alysha_Brilla1.jpg

In 1991, Gwen Jacobs walked topless in downtown Guelph and was fined $75 for public indecency. 5 years later the charges were overturned and it was ruled that women could be topless in Ontario without qualifying as an indecent act. If it is already in the books for so many years, how come...

It is so important that this fact gets investigated! Basically, the first officer at the scene got rid of the witnesses?? Why?? That smells too much as a "cover up", and police top brass has to take responsibility, and investigate what happened.

Reading more about this case, this is what one if the judges wisely wrote: Obviously, this guy will not apply for Canadian citizenship (because he knows he most likely won't get it, because of his criminal record). And he won’t apply for Indian citizenship (because he knows he may get it...

Yes, but... it is not like that for diplomats. "Under Canadian law, citizenship by birth DOESN'T APPLY to people whose parents were in Canada as diplomats or representatives of a foreign government, or whose parents were employed by such a person, at the time of their birth."

Ha-ha, that made me LoL. He is not stateless, in my opinion he is Indian. He is also a convicted criminal, and more obviously, he is trying to exploit loopholes in our system. The CBC reports: "When Budlakoti was born in Ottawa in 1989, his parents were both Indian nationals working for the...

I don't know the OP or MikeyMoto. But MikeyMoto, you have to accept that the whole deal looks sketchy - at least to everybody who was not there in person. If a wholesaler would pay $3,000 for it, then let the wholesaler buy it. As soon as you buy it, it makes you look really bad - conflict...

The Canadian dollar is taking a beating, but why would that matter? :p Other economic indicators are stable. The exchange rate has been fuelled mostly by speculation. It is not like the economy took a nosedive with the dollar...

Thank you. But you see what I mean? You have to use the two websites at the same time (toronto2015.org and ticketmaster.ca) to buy the correct tickets. If you do not choose the right Session ID (BV001, BV002, etc) you may buy tickets that you do not want. Why make it so hard? Are they trying to...

No, I am trying to buy tickets for the earlier rounds (not the finals). There is no schedule. It doesn't even say if it is dudes or ladies playing. Who is going to buy tickets like that?

Up to this minute, I did not care about buying a ticket. After reading this thread, I went to check out Ticketmaster. I am disappointed that all the soccer games are going to be in Hamilton. All of them. Too far for me, considering that I would have to drive and spend 2 hours in traffic to get...

Yes, but Charlie Hebdo shooting happened just a few months ago. And now this. Why in France and not in Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, or Italy?

If you already saw the news... if not, google it, or go to your favourite news source. Why France? Please discuss.
