Am I getting this right? He's a U of T student who decided to spend his 'homeless' time at the school, 'passing' as a student?... |

Or try talking to a homeless person about their experience. It's an eye-opener for sure. I was volunteering at a youth homelessness conference in St. John's a while back and there were a number of yo... |

iantri, you are correct that riders also are often uninformed about the best solutions to a problem, but there should at least be good outlets for information sharing. The LA Bus Rider's union, I a... |

I originally saw the "metrosexual" ad, so it's real, but I assume they changed it to the "never tweezed anything" one because the anti-metrosexual version was probably a little extreme.... |

Dear GS, Go away. You have no idea what you are talking about. "Outed as a liar"? What is your big interest in SJ, as a user of her line of butt-plugs?... |

It aims at the wussification of society Hundreds of generations of hard asses worked hard for the "wussification" we have today. Also, no one is stopping you from moving to northern Quebec and living... |

I like the ads, at least as much as I like any ads. The idea of reminding young-ish people that their parents were once young-ish too appeals to me, even if it's slightly tainted with a little superfl... |

CITY's newscasts have been going downhill the last few months. This situation is just proof of that. ---But it's still better than Global!... |

Fair dealing also requires good reason. You can't just take anyone's photos or videos and call it news. In this case the pictures might have been exclusive but that is not enough of a justification. T... |

I might tune in to CityTV just to hear that mea culpa as enunciated by Mark Dailey.... |

I used to live in London, there were cameras everywhere and they didn't bother anyone. They're just there, no one is going to be seeing if you adjust your wedgie or anything. There was also a nail-bom... |

I didn't realize we were expecting an essay on the meaning of libel. Of course you can go a thousand times deeper into the meaning than I did (or you did, for that matter). Thousands of Canadian lawye... |

Great spoofs, Marc! I like the original ads, they target young guys who DO like their dads and are curious about what they were like when younger.... |

Miles: CCTV is not a solution period. CCTV did not prevent the transit bombings in London it only helped to capture the people that did the nasty deed. Essentially, it's the government waiting for peo... |

Hippie leftists are only hippie leftists out of malice. They know perfectly well whom to vote for, but they pick the commie rat every time, just to spit in the eye of decent folk.... |

Chicago is fantastic overall, but it's not like we're lacking in terms of architecture or green space. I think the city is worth a Chicagoan's time, though the cities are similar. ... |

Part of what makes these ads kinda cool is that the iconic "Dad" they're talking about was someone we all thought was a nerd - not a macho guy at all by the terms of his time. Then we grew up and the... |

Offensiveness is subjective. People with lives don't give such things a second thought. Are we really so bored that we need to pick every little thing apart just to see if it might offend someone? ... |

I think he may be onto something; if you believe that what you have to say about Johanson's behaviour in a professional environment is true, then you aren't libelling her if you say it - of course, th... |

I find it interesting that so many of those commenting are willing to dismiss the point raised by the first out of hand. There may be problems with the math but the central point is a good one: that ... |

Oh man, this is embarrassing, but I remember the choking game. But we didn't call it that. "The Choking Game" sounds lame and dangerous, and what we were doing was super cool and harmless---or so we t... |

My mom ran into her in the grocery store once. She says she was the nicest lady she's ever met, and they had an amazing conversation about whipped cream. And then my mom winked at me. Needless to s... |

Sorry both Paige and Chris, I should have been more descriptive. Add "after midnight" as a qualifier and that is what I meant. Of course you can go to Sneaky Dee's before 9 PM and your folks can get ... |

I broadly agree with Reality. The contract could and should read "in the event of shortfalls in payments the City reserves the right to assume ownership of Astral equipment and to transfer the right ... |

Another way to respond to legitimate criticism is to acknowledge its merits This unfortunately first requires believing that the criticism in question is meritious. I, on the other hand, think your a... |

To temper what I just posted a bit, I see that Canadian copyright law seems to allow CityTV to use the images (fair dealing), but certainly if not illegal it was unethical. ... |

A quick google search found a Loring from Seneca still in journalism. Not much luck with the others. A nice afternoon break from work though.... |

They seemed to have changed the Love Guru trailer recently at least for Canadian releases. I saw the trailer last weekend and it now says "is coming...here" instead of "is coming to...America".... |
