2	TokyoTuds	43	Vincent, I checked and this appears to be a nominal cost, which is also what David uses above for the 1985 TTC fare (nominal price of $1.60). It is fair to compare the nominal cost of the TTC fare to ... On November 5, 2009 6:16 PM in Over Time, How Fairly Have TTC Fares Fared?

8	Marc Lostracco	16	Not sure if you're talking to me (I think?), but "darky imagery" is a term (just like "blackface"), I didn't make it up, I think it's horrible, and I'm not calling anybody "darky," and I would never. ... On November 6, 2009 5:11 PM in Rude Bwoys

12	Solex	13	For a progressive, you seem to be very blind to the problem of white over-privilege when it presents itself. The book is quite outdated and tired, and there are better books about the black experience... On October 31, 2009 11:12 PM in Newsstand: October 5, 2009
13	David Toronto	12	Given Kyle Rae's past performances, I'll give Enza a real consideration this time round. But, she's gotta be there during strikes--unlike Rae who disappeared! Given the general dissatisfaction with... On November 2, 2009 10:53 PM in Enza Anderson Eyes City Council Seat
14	torontothegreat	12	I'm more offended by your continued use of calling my culture 'darky' (I don't care why you're doing it). then I am about these guys dressing up as a bobsled team. In this case, they do have context.... On November 6, 2009 4:36 PM in Rude Bwoys
