I'm a Leafs fan as much as the next Torontonian, but seriously, have we got so good at losing we don't know what to do with ourselves when one of our teams wins?

Nuh-uh this farm team is the farm team of the great TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS! You watch your words kind sir.

I actualy agree with you, every Rock game I've been to is sensational with a fantastic atmosphere

That's not really fair though because there are very few hockey fans in Toronto, just a bunch of Leafs fans.

Every so often, I confess that I do enjoy taking in one of the local flatball competitions, if I find myself in close proximity to one of the ice-courts, and am waiting to have my tyres vulcanised.

Having the guy give up and resign as mayor is one thing, destroying his life by badgering him about his weight and lifestyle is just petty and way, way below the Toronto I know and love.

He brought it on himself, he made his weight challenge a big deal and then gave up after a few weeks, it says a lot about his character

On the one hand, I agree. I wouldn't wish the guy ill or something.

On the other hand, he isn't doing himself any favours and had painted himself a terrible picture to others.

I'm off today, and ant to go cycling. I hope it doesn't rain. I'm O.K with thunderstorms, makes everything fresh and coo. Humid rain is sticky and gross, feels like you are in a sauna.

Oh, I don't take glee in seeing him ruined. But, he's never going to resign. He'll never give up in that sense.

He's stubborn in all the wrong ways. He'll give up on something that requires actual effort (lose weight? read this 200 page report? nope), but he'll never give up if all it requires is him slamming his fist on a table and getting all red-faced for the camera, repeating ideological catch phrases over and over.

I'm halfway there, sort of. More pink than darker in general, though.

Heat's not bad since I'm indoors, but I can still feel the heat seeping through since I'm sitting by a window.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share something. A buddy of mine recently decided to make the switch from cable TV to OTA (over the air) to save money and he said it was pretty damn awesome. Quality wise anyways.

I went over to his place to check it out and the quality is crazy good. Some channels are cleaner than the Rogers HD (which he had before). It has all the basic channels.. so essential channels in HD minus sports channels. So if you don't watch sports very often, it's definitely a good investment. He had it installed for a one-time fee of $300 through some RFD promo, so I'm not sure if it's still going on or not. But I checked their site and it says $350.

So yeah, just wanted to share since it sounded like a good deal. I heard it's cheaper to do it yourself, but at the cost (time) of labour + being on my roof with no experience.. uhh.. yeah no... I'd happily pay for it.

I'm considering making the switch myself after the Euros are done LOL

Oh and here's the site if anybody is interested: http://skytune.ca/

My brother put his OTA antenna up on his roof in Brampton a couple of years ago after having it by his glass sliding door for years. His neighbour gave him a hand doing it because I was too lazy to drive to his house. :P

Anybody know what the cheapest mobile phone plan is?

I absolutely need the following:
- Unlimited Text
- Free Evenings and weekends (free incoming would be awesome)
- Caller ID, Call waiting, etc...
- 100 anytime minutes

Right now, the closest one is the one from Wind. My contract runs out in August, so I really want to find the best one available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Man, I am on a cost-saving tear! Made the switch from Rogers Internet to Teksavvy, renegotiated my cable TV (although I'll probably switch later this year), and (most likely) will go with Wind for my cellphone plan. Feels good, man.

Has anyone done this? I wonder how rocky the process is with Rogers.

I need to change from them like ages ago. Seems we have to get a WIND number first then port over the old, basically running two accounts at once?

Also how good is the coverage + will I automatically hop onto other networks with a blackberry/smartphone when in USA or other countries?
