Shit! It's a dead heat!
getting down to the wire here - getting exciting!
Prediction. Kensington over Bike Lanes, 501 over Environment (yeah, that's wishful thinking...)... ES
You should have included the Kensington bike courier vs. motorist fight....that was an awesome battle, of epic proportions......
come onnnnnnnnnnnn ROM!
God, if people pick the ridiculous ROM crystal over 416, what does that say about Torontonians?
I mean, besides the lack of taste? ;)
That we are stuck with a 647 number. :)
Occured to me today that I would've liked to see 416 vs 647... a lot of us rely primarily our solely on our 647s these days
I don't understand how 416 has made it this far. It's an arbitrary code given to phone numbers that used to, at one point, be defined by geographical location. It's not anymore, and the numbers are completely arbitrary!
That 416 and CN Tower Ice made it this far is utterly shocking at first glance. But check out the competition: 416 may as well have been running against three rounds of Stupid Hipsters/Yuppies We Hate (Boo!). But paradoxically, Ice beat out Parkdale (a sign that it has been forsaken, left to the Stupid Hipsters [Boo!]?) and the St Clair ROW (in effect, pitting mass transit-centred city planning against something that only really posed a threat to SUV-drivers on the Gardiner, fleeing to the 905 with their Bay Street pay cheques).
Rek, why not keep to the topic instead of randomly flying off about the people you hate. To that point, what is it you hate about these people? Sure some of them are elitist, stuck-up, a-holes, but then again maybe you are too. The fact of the matter is that people should be judged individually and not superficially. Stop hating everyone and start loving the diversity of the city you live in. If not, please do us all a favour and move out to the 905 with the rest of the closed-minded bigots (not that they're all closed minded bigots there just happens to be the largest contingent of them there). :)
I thought it was obvious I was being a bit facetious.
"stupidrek": i think you are taking this a bit too seriously.
