I was just going to send you the link!
No problem; glad I saw your post and followed the link.
Like I said, I’ve walked past that statue many times. There are some establishments on Stephen Avenue, that I’ve never walked past, though. Into, yes. 
The statue in question:
Grey Cup. Need I say more?
Nope, I understand perfectly.
Next time you’re in town, you might like to check out the James Joyce, towards the eastern end of Stephen Avenue. Very nice selction of taps, and the food is good too. That’s one establishment that I’ve never walked past when I’ve been in town.
Duly noted. 
Those gentlemen seem well-insulated from the arctic cold. And I’m not talking their overcoats.
The statue is just outside Bankers Hall, a high-grade shopping centre in the financial district. I’ve always thought the two gentlemen projected a certain image.
Have you ever studied the bas-relief over the front door of the Toronto Stock Exchange?
They’re not wearing overcoats! That’s just the natural appearance of the species opulentos arcticum canuckis, creatures endemic to northern oil-bearing regions, who often weigh in at a quarter-ton or more even when oil prices are at record lows. Their blubber has been much valued by the Inuit for thousands of years. 
Never seen it. Where is the TSE located? My guess would be Bay Street - or is that just lawyers?
It’s on Bay, just south of King, on the west side of the street.
I think this should work:
Yes, that’s it. Now, look closely—do you see the capitalist in top hat reaching for the worker’s pocket? Nobody knows if that was intentional or not, but that’s one of the “inside jokes” you can find in a lot of old Toronto architecture.
I’m sure that capitalist is merely striding briskly, arms swinging, to get ahead of the lower class mob.
It just happens that his hand is located in the vicinity of the working man’s pants pocket.
Pure coincidence, really.
Oh, could be. But it’s one of those interesting little things that nobody notices until it’s pointed out. Then they wonder why they never saw it before.
Along with the city councillors who are caricatured as gargoyles in the stone carvings of Toronto’s Old City Hall, and the tall, thin stone faces carved into the stone at the top of Commerce Court North. Lots of fun things “hiding in plain sight” in Toronto architecture.
Dogs … in … Spaaace!
You’ve reminded me of the Swedish movie My Life as a Dog, about a boy who happens to be obsessed with Laika, another Soviet space dog who was the first animal to orbit Earth.
From today’s Front Page: Did You Know?
A dress made from women’s breasts, or severed bull testicles?
Wikipedia reports, you decide.
This deserves to get more use as an insult to someone’s intelligence.
“Can’t tell a breast from a bull scrotum.”
On this day: the Great London Beer Flood occurred. Following the rupture of two huge wooden beer vats, a 15 foot tall wave of porter smashed buildings and killed eight people.
If only Bob McKenzie had been there to help.
