I think that incident proved to the media that Rob Ford can't take a joke but has a pretty thin skin on top of it. Once a politician shows weakness in front of the media, they're like pihranas (and I say that as a former freelance journalist. The parasitic nature of the trade is a big part of the reason I walked away and took up painting houses for a living...) Personally as far as this "Rob Ford smokes crack" controversy goes, I think I'll reserve judgment until they actually show the goddamn video. They want six figures for the video apparently...yer tryin' to tell me that the fucking CBC or the Toronto Star can't pony up the dough for such a hot piece of footage?

The Ford crack video story keeps getting wierder and better everyday.. Six of the Mayors staff resigned (rats are fleeing ship), one of the people in the video was murdered a few weeks ago (dont know many) details) and story keeps continuing. Rob's brother holds a press conference on behalf of his brother. And Rob he keeps pretending the whole thing does not exist, so why did all his staff leave. The whole family is a bunch of Douches Edited June 1, 2013 by The 4 Runes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I've visited Canada three times and liked what I saw of the country each time. I was particularly impressed with Toronto which I visited in 2003. It reminded me of Chicago only much cleaner. I'm sure it has its share of typical big-city problems, but I could easily see myself living there. The only drawback would be the winters.

Charles J. White Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Vancouver has no winter, and Calgary has summer in the winter which comes and goes every 48 hours. Halifax has no snow and winter much like Boston or New York. I've visited Canada three times and liked what I saw of the country each time.

I know the latter city has winter because I've visited relatives who live there during the Christmas holidays. It didn't snow but it was certainly cold and damp.

Yes, Vancouver and Seattle have the same climate and winters are cold wet and windy but compared to the rest of the country, it's not winter . However, when we have an el nina winter, we usually end up with colder than usual temps and a lot more snow ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Horrendous Ally. Thankfully all was OK? Though Momo looked less than impressed? I'm afraid the way the climate is changing, these stories are only going to get more frequent. Only recently parts of Europe were under water when the Danube broke it's banks. Here in the UK we had awful flooding last summer and to be honest things don't look that great this year. Scientists are blaming the warming of the North Atlantic for the changing weather patterns. The arctic ice shelf is melting at an alarming rate and if the UK loses the influence of the Gulf Stream we are all fucked as it will be a mini ice age. Many wine growers will be praying for a warm dry summer as last year hardly any wine was produced, mainly in the south of England. If things go the way of last year many will be out of business. A worrying trend that's for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A worrying trend that's for sure? Yep, climate change is certainly wreaking havoc all over the world. In this case, it's a biproduct of a tropical storm front coming up from the south meeting with a storm front from the north. The heavy rains forced a rapid melt of the snow cap in the Rockies and more than another 100ml of rain are expected over the next 2 days. There are already highways in south eastern BC that are closed but if that expected rain materializes, most of the Kootenay region of the province will probably be looking at events similar to those in Alberta Edited June 21, 2013 by ally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
