Funny what the author of the article Strider posted observed last year ...

"Chup kar ke roti cala" ... hahaha. Funny little film. I liked it. Juliet, I doubt the Canadian protestors themselves comprehend what they are protesting. Our banking system has always beenmuch more regulated than the what was is/was in the US. Lending practices would make the sub-prime type debacles much less likely to happen here. If a point was made it is improving tax systems in both countries. Recently having to deal with the IRS and all 50 of the American states has proved what a bureacratic mess it is. But I digress .. In Toronto there is only a handful of protestors. They're camped in a cushy park near a big church with the public amenities (a few block from my office). I do hope they enjoy the oncoming Canadian winter. #FAIL

Those "Black Bloc" welfare-bum losers need their freakin' heads bashed in for the damage their doing to my Toronto. Grrrr.

Moi aussi. - JAG p.s. Hi Juliet!

Hi Juliet!!

What ever happened to Spats?

Plant & Alison are coming to town this summer!

I am with you. I don't like the Montreal Canadiens either. Them and their Guy Lafleur and Larry Robinson. You can have them.

Whoops, sorry to stir up some Sofa King bad memories.

Those are hilarious!

Wheels of Confusion Long ago I wandered through my mind With a land of fairytales and stories Lost in happiness I knew no fears Innocence and love was all I knew Was it illusion? Soon the days are passing into ages Happiness just isn't got so easy Life was born of fairy tales and daydreams Innocence was just another word Was it illusion? Lost in the wheels of confusion Running through furnace of tears Eyes full of angered illusion Hiding in everyday fears So I vow that life is just a burden But you know there's never been a winner Try your hardest and you'll still be a loser The world will still be turning when you're gone Yeah when you're gone!

Don't forget acknowledgements to Mr. Pompous Potato-Head who brought us the GST in the first place. Some interesting questions that Diane Francis posed a few weeks back...

Aw, the good ole rough-tough Bruins ... Remember others like O'Reilly, Park, Bourque, Orr, Cheevers, McNabb (I still have my tattered hockey cards kicking around somewhere), etc. Hockey art ... Great interaction with the fans ... Now that's the type of hockey I loved! Funny bit about your Carolina Hurricanes. Seems they've been following you around the country (or, v.v.). Just a decade ago they were the Hartford/New England Whalers. I know you knew that already. As an old time Islanders fan, I continue to despise the Oiler with passion. What joy it was to see them beat Edmonton in the finals last year. I will be again cheering for your 'Canes. My apologies to your missus. Thanks, Juliet. Ever notice how lame NBC is. It can't even come up with an original name for its Sunday night NFL broadcast ... CBC - since 1931 NBC - since 2006 "Proud as peacock," my arse.

:lol: Don't hurt the guy's feelings, Rorer. Winnipeg doesn't have a team. I've seriously doubted that for a while.

You keep on learnin' 'em, ZD! I remember those Coffe-Mate commercials he did.

Okay, here goes ... I HATE TORONTO ... THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS SUCK ... and WINNEPEG JETS ARE THE BEST! 1981-82 Second-place finishers in the NHL Norris Division! Woo-hoo! Actually made it past the first round of the playoff! ... But, unfortunately that is as far they got before going defunct in 1996. ... Quite sad knowing that Winnipeg is the biggest large city in Canada that can't even come support to have an NHL team. ... A 'Peggers frustration leading to Toronto envy is then quite understandable. ... stones and glass houses. p.s. ...

Are not all teachers mean and cruel??? He seems scared ... but I think we're being bad parents. He would not go to bed the other day, so I told him that his teacher was going to come by our house an take him home with her. He pondered and asked "if the teacher has a separate bed for him or if he'd have to share one with the teacher?" I could not answer that one. Gotta love him; he's the biggest clown.

I should file a restraining order against him ... better yet I'll just tell him that I am going to call his teacher. He's terrified of "getting in trouble" from her.
