In Canada, Toronto is the city everyone else hates. It's tradition.

<i>"I thank the Lord Jesus Christ they did not pull a weapon..."</i>

If I understand his theology, Jesus kept them from pulling a gun. Otherwise, what's he so thankful about? Jesus can stop people from pulling a gun. Then where the fuck was he in that Colorado movie theatre? Or Virginia Tech? I'll give him a pass on the Sikh temple because he probably doesn't go there too often. But what about in Tuscon when 9 year old Christina-Taylor Green was killed? WHERE WAS MOTHERFUCKING JESUS THEN ASSHOLE?

Oh ... sorry ... snark snark snark.

Because you're not a bajillionnaire (are you?) Or someone whose grandparents were farsighted enough to buy when prices were reasonable.

That was something I noticed when I moved to the US, the almost slavish degree of customer service. Doesn't anyone care that Best Buy employees have leave Thanksgiving dinner to go to work?

*sigh* It's not pronounced "aboot", it's pronounced "a-bow-oot". Say all the vowels. Now try again.

Guelph, Ontario. Close to Toronto but affordable.

Now the question is: when will there be a Wonkette meetup in Canada City?

Or London, Ontario. Much more affordable but not so close to Toronto.

Sorry, Mr. Bishop. I'll try to get with the proe-gram.

Indeed. I'm personally a fan of <em>not</em> creating an arms race between <a href="http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=WQriZQbTcjk" target="_blank">police and thieves</a>.

You mean other countries don't put gravy on their fries??? Actually, I always decline it, which perhaps makes me less Canadian.

Well, according to the Wikipedia, USA leads the pack with 88.8 per hundred. Canada is way down at 13 with 30.8.
