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.

Swiss Chalet, real food made fresh.

That's two words.

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?

WA Bishop's avatar

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.

Nothing, so long as they speak softly.
