One of my lottery fantasies is to buy the naming rights to something and insist that it be called by its original name....

Yeah, because gas has gotten so much cheaper in the last five years. Mission accomplished indeed....

It's the lame execution that makes it so uniquely Toronto; it's one of the few civic contests in which we really can beat all comers. ...

The big life preserver, I get. The little ship, not so much. The legs on a stick are just creepy. Still, I'm all for anything that brings people to this lonely stretch of bicycle highway. Nothing dra...

You don't need a car to carry a 2x4; just toss it over your shoulder and walk. If you're buying too many 2x4s to carry, patronize a store that delivers. You also don't need two tonnes of metal and pla...

I posted on my blog last year about a supposed pedestrian-friendly Canadian Tire big box gone awry on the Danforth. Always be wary of artist's conceptions....

Jonathan, are you really endorsing the concept of allowing the private sector to levy taxes?...

The owner said that it's two or three years old. It looked virtually brand new to me so I think it's holding up pretty well....

Good work on the logos, Marc. But shouldn't the Bussin version say "Default name" and "Your business" instead of "Ttc" and "Subway"?...

This cyclist's heart bleeds....

You can start with the mayor, your local councillor, and members of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee....

I've been using TekSavvy for almost three years and have to say that it's been the most trouble-free ISP I've had since, well, ever. Bell deserves to fry if they press ahead with this stupidity. What...

Some cyclists have been saying for years that "it's not in the Bike Plan" would be wielded like a cudgel to prevent bike lanes from going onto a lot of streets. Too bad the city continues to live up t...

I always thought "rainbow perm" was a sexual euphemism like "aromatherapy spa" or "German engineering."...

Each organization only works with its members. DigLine will only take locate requests for Rogers cables and can't help you find Bell cables or Enbridge pipes. One Call does the same for virtually ever...

Dude, DigLine doesn't dig, and didn't cut anything. They're the ones who paint lines on the ground to locate cables for homeowners or contractors who are about to dig. DigLine only locates Rogers cabl...

Right you are, burnstoemerge; I've made the change in the article. I'm not sure what I was thinking; maybe I was secretly wishing it was CTV's Rod Black....

March in Australia (where the event originates) is like September here, so that explains the timing. If we're tagging along on their event, we accept their timing. I think it's more symbolic that peop...

Strictly speaking, Chris is seeking to be that man's representative, not his overlord. Democracy is indeed in a sad state when we think of elections as granting someone power over us. No wonder so man...

Then again, maybe enough parents will be irked just enough to not pay for their kids' university educations, forcing students to pay the bills themselves, and thus actually give a modicum of a shit ab...
