Line Up For Condos! Double Down On The Loonie! And If You Bet On The Raptors, Sucks To Be You!
People queue up for a chance at a condo. The condos at One Bloor Street East range from $300K to $2 million, so remember, kids: lines aren't just for poor people and the Nintendo Wii any more!
Loonie breaks a buck ten American. It's funny because last week when Torontoist mentioned the loonie-rising story, economists were all "well it'll probably hit a dollar-ten eventually" and it seems "eventually" was "less than a week." Speaking of rising prices, incidentally, oil went to $98 a barrel this morning.
Dalton McGuinty rejects the idea of a provincial sales tax increase to mirror the GST reduction. McGuinty pointed out that he was a big supporter of David Miller's campaign to get the federal government to give Toronto money, though.
"Spider Girl" surgery successful. After a 24-hour operation, Lakshmi, an Indian girl born with four arms and four legs, now only has two of each and can live a normal life. Well, except for when the Green Goblin attacks her.
And the Raps got smacked by the Bucks but hard.

common people don't line up for condos, professional buyers/investors do.
or, actually, in this case, they use their financial sense and pay common people to line up for them. $25/hr too!

Dude, I know you were just joking, but I dunno. "Spider-Girl"?
Hmm, $300K condo is nice...but, say I go to $2million, what more can I get? I mean, maybe a million dollar one would be enough. Maybe a $1.5'er? Hmm, I'm gonna really think about this...I don't wanna get a $300 condo, and then, like, a year from now say, "Damn, I knew I should've gotten the $2 mil one, now where am I gonna put all my stuff?"
(sigh) Let me get my checkbook, might as well just get the $2mil condo...it's only money, right? Does it come with servants?
Sing along with the common people.
Wow - Can't wait til the whole city looks like Conrad Black's take on "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century".
Conrad Black's 25th Century?
Brr. Blade Runner–style blimps prowling the skies, blaring endless proclamations of whatever the hell a centuries-old, uploaded copy of Conrad Black's ego thinks is terribly interesting and important, denouncing his enemies, and bellowing excerpts from his biographies of ever-more-odious historical figures.
