  1. “I had no idea that being gay made me environmentally friendly.”
    I wouldn’t worry about it. I think it’s merely a statistical correlation.

  2. Evidence as to why my GTA friends visit so often…besides the opportunity to celebrate with powder and shot…….
    The only times they remark even indirectly about the GTA is their plans to flee/retire in either Northern Ontario or PEI.
    They stopped inviting me to visit……not that I am not welcome…they understand my reluctance to leave my green tranquility/serenity to visit the big smoke…
    I recall shopping with one of the lads, when he made a freudian slip indicating he was from the GTA….the check-out gal asked if he was just visiting or had smarttened up…..
    His answer…”I wish….”

  3. My. God.
    Kate, I’m reminded of the video you posted a couple months ago of the hippies camped out — dancing and singing mother earth’s and alla’s praises — in front of the (Scottish? British?) parliament buildings. I think these two go hand in hand.
    The horror.

  4. The “Toronto-Cuba Friendship Society”! Toronto has Nation status?
    Wall the damned city off from the rest of Canada, give ’em city-state status, and DO NOT let them vote in Federal elections.
    Canada would be better off. And I have the feeling so would the rest of Ontario.

  5. Hahahaha Danggit Kate, you should have put a warning on that link. Being a coonarse from N. Louisi-Yana I need to be protected from stuff like that. It’s a good thing my monitor is perpendicular to my office door, why my jaw was slap on the floor. It’s a sure bet Toronto will be crossed off my bucket list.
    😉

  6. The only view of Toronto I ever want to see is at 500 mph from 30,000 feet at midnight.

  7. Whoa! (Woe?): Urban Immersion in Toronto
    It took reading Diogenes Borealis’ blog and looking at his GR-8 photos to confirm that Toronto really is as crazy and decrepit as I think it is. I live here. It’s becoming a hell-hole, especially when you venture into our rotting, decaying, and increasingly unreliable subway system.
    How ANYONE can think that Mayor Miller was doing his job while on his watch as TO Moro … er, Mayor, is beyond my comprehension.
    ROB FORD FOR MAYOR! He’s the only mayoral candidate who will kick butt — that is, give the unions a big one in the rear end. This city needs a major overhaul, tout de suite. No wonder all the rats (human and otherwise) are comfortable walking our streets, eating in our restaurants day and night. They blend in with the disintegrating infrastructure. (I don’t think I’ve seen an attractively dressed female — self excluded — in a few months, and I’m talking about Bloor Street (Holts, Dolce and Gabana, Vuitton, the ROM, Koerner Hall, etc.)
    Great brunch at Frans, DB! You go, guy!

  8. Businessmen and entrepreneurs burn a lot of diesel fuel moving in about, oh, at least, ten thousand tons of food every day to feed those teeming millions crammed into Toronto. There is not much direct government involvement in this massive complex capitalist system. If it were permanently shut down in January there would be some trauma in Toronto.
    I hope they’re thankful for the wonderful and efficient system, and the fossil fuel, that keeps them alive.
    The government does provide a regular supply of immigrants to prepare their food for them.

  9. The tea party wants to burn big government down to size…
    A Christian teacher stands up and threatens to burn a certain book…
    I say it has also come time to burn certain cities…Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver come to mind on this side of the border…Down south, San Francisco and Chicago would be good starts…Let’s keep New York, otherwise Ridley Scott and Rolland Emmerich wont have any place for destruction to take place in their next disaster flick.;-)

  10. Yea, I did see that razer.
    Hey , Right Honourable Terry Tory, I will trade ya New Orleans for any two small liberal towns in Canada and raise you one Shreveport, La.

  11. rzr:
    You’ve got to be kidding – of all the places he could have gone for breakfast, he chooses Fran’s?! I’m not faulting his choice of food – I really enjoy eggs, toast, and some fried member of the pork family – but the location. I doubt the people he saw eating “vegan waffles” (there’s a meat waffle?) were from Toronto; Fran’s exists to serve the tourist market. Over priced and under served.
    And geez – when are french fries part of a greasy spoon breakfast? Home fries are the only way to go. Much better choices exist in Toronto, including People’s Foods (or the Vesta Lunch) for a true greasy spoon experience.

    Yeah, we would be better off.

  13. “I had no idea that being gay made me environmentally friendly.”
    I guess he didn’t read James Lee’s manifesto.
