Discovering Toronto With Transit

photo credit: GKS. Councillor Suzan Hall charged $720 for donations to local groups and tickets to charity events as of June 30 2010. I was checking 2010 expense report which is only showing January-June 2010. July October 2010 is going to be VERY interesting. I am not against giving donations to local groups and charity. [...]

So the official twitter accounts to the 6 candidates we are following are: @robfordteam, @jpantalone, @roccothevoteTO, @G_Smitherman/@TeamSmitherman, @himysyed and @ThomsonTO. I have seen fake accounts for Ford, Smitherman, Rossi and Thomson. I have not seen fake accounts of Pantalone or Syed. Ford has the most fake accounts. All fake accounts from all candidates are following [...]

So George Smitherman challenged Rob Ford to a one on one debate calling the other 32 Registered Mayoral Candidates noise. Rob Ford finally said NO to George Smitherman. He will do it after September 10. Essentially Rob “owned” George by saying “I will do the debate when I want to and not when YOU want [...]

So I am at the New Bloor Festival. The original festival was called BIG ON BLOOR and it was a lot longer (it started around Christie). This year was different, new name as well. The 600 metres from Dufferin Street to Lansdowne Avenue was the place for this wonderful festival. I saw three Davenport South [...]

Eglinton Avenue is an unique street. It is the ONLY street that goes through Etobicoke, York, North York, Toronto, East York and Scarborough. From the 427 to it’s eastern end at Kingston Road it is 39 kilometres. According to Google Maps, it would take 6 hours and 40 minutes to walk. I would die by [...]

Rocco Rossi did not attend the Lawrence Heights debate out of respect for the Jewish population in the area. He clarified things why, here is a screenshot: Read bottom up (1-4): Usually I don’t post Direct Messages/e-mails/etc…but to be fair and I liked his last message. During the debate I mentioned that Rocco Rossi was [...]

So Sarah Thomson, Rob Ford, George Smitherman, Joe Pantalone and Rocco Achampong. Yes you are reading correctly. Rocco Achampong, Not Rocco Rossi. Mr. Rossi was partying at Caribana. I guess he doesn’t care for Lawrence Heights. These debates are essential to democracy and our community. I am sorry Mr. Rossi but Caribana and the universe [...]

Jeriko, Natasha and I were having lunch at this restaurant on the north west corner of Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. Jeriko being the new staffer asked about the 6 report cards. I took the printouts out of my bag. I wanted their opinions. Jeriko brought up an interesting option. Why don’t we do [...]

So this debate is the first one without Giorgio Mammoliti. It is the third one without democracy. I am so tempted to call it racist but I won’t. Please note that I am not calling CP24 racist. It has wonderful programming. Except tonight. You have 5 white men and 1 white woman. George Smitherman Rob [...]

photo credit: Funky Tee So I am at work and as usual my tv is on CP24. The host was interviewing George Smitherman. Smitherman mentions how he is going across the city and that Eglinton goes through the city. Eglinton Avenue is the only street in 416/647 that goes through Etobicoke, York, North York, Toronto, [...]
