Before we go any further, please keep in mind that it has been announced on July 1[sup]st[/sup] that the Temiscouata project had succesfully detonated a flannel bomb on Ellesmere island. Now, squadrons of Canadian geese armed with F-bombs are ready to repel all invaders !
No, I’m in Toronto, too. I get part of Toronto. And maybe Muskoka, and a couple of really pretty little lakes.
Wait, wait. I am the rightful Duke of Toronto, and if anyone gets the Greater GTA*, it’ll be me.
(Hmm. I happen to be wearing a flannel shirt today, for some reason.)

I’m in charge of the Beaches and I want Little India. My first act- to cancel the damn Jazzfest and command the opening of some decent Vietnamese restaurants.

snerk “NORTHERN” Ontario. Bwaaahahahaa
There are NORTHERN stores in Ontario, for heaven’s sake! WTF!

Most of northern Ontario is west of western Ontario, which having been settled first, scooped the name on us. Thus I had to go a thousand miles south and east to the Universty of Western Ontario to go to school.

Just because the Queen retains sovereignty but does not live here does not mean that the Empress can move away and retain sovereignty.
Oh, yeah?

There are Canadians who can’t pronounce “Saskatchewan”?

Nobody who isn’t from there pronounces it correctly.

We have no problem with two men engaging in anal sex. That way they can both watch the hockey game.

Fine, but isn’t it a bit distracting for the people in the rows behind them?
IMHO, the activity that you mention in that quote is filthy, unnatural, and an abomination. Even mentioning it – like you did above – risks corrupting our innocent youth into leading a depraved so-called “lifestyle” that can threaten marriages.
Watching hockey games — yuck!

Woo-hoo! You lose that bet. I’ve been to Yellowknife! What do I win?
Cancel the Beaches Jazz Fest? Be careful what you wish for–it may have been a few years since I was able to attend, but I understand that I was responsible for keeping more than a few Queen Street watering holes financially solvent during the Jazz Fest. I’ve left my responsibilities in capable and willing hands though, and if you cancel the Jazz Fest, what are they and the pubs to do?
Damn, I miss going to the Beaches Jazz Fest…

Too tight a schedule. Between two families, two sets of gay friends and two sets of straight friends, I had to use the least minute for rest purposes.
While everyone is divvying up Canada, could I have Halifax? I liked it there the one time I dropped in. I wanna do the noontime cannon shot, but with the use of a live shell. Make it interesting, y’know…
