[QUOTE=garychencool;48224823]I wonder why the TTC doesn't do 2 hour transfers where you can do whatever you want and go which ever direction and backtrack as seen on VIVA/YRT and other transit systems worldwide.[/QUOTE]
I've cheesed the transit for a day using only 1 transfer. Just walk a bit and don't get on the same bus track. Or alternatively, use the metro so now you have 2 pass. You won't really get stopped as long as you show that the ticket is from the same day, covering the time issued with a thumb or something.

And don't forget that if you don't pay up, ICBC will prevent you from renewing your car insurance/license until you do. :eng101:
Speaking of travelling by car. God knows what would of happened if this became a reality.

Fucking ten lanes of traffic on Kingsway, eight on burrard, and five bridges over False Creek. Man someone was dreaming about the future in 1927.

With no name attached to the ticket its hard to pin it on anyone

It's even better when the driver gets the night time transfers and keeps the night part on during the day time so you could still use that transfer all day long at appropriate transfer points. You could also ask for transfers from the bus driver for whatever reason.
So is there a thing in Toronto today?

Not as far as I heard, unless its being discussed through PM it looks like a couple people lost interest
Well with the exception of one drunk native guy and his extremely drunk girlfriend trying to pick a fight with my coworker and I over not selling them alcohol, I had an extremely good day.
Mad props to my coworker for not backing down.
Part of the silt bluff 'cross the river came down but when I went to get a better look, hosehead from the city wouldn't let me park the tracker to look, eh.

Man, what a hoser.
I've had some really terrible beer from Port Moody, then I had some really good beer from Port Moody.
You're acceptable Port Moody. [B]Merely acceptable.[/B]
So after the distribution of the childcare benefit cheques Harper's up to 38% in the polls, with the NDP at 27% and the Liberals at 25%. Harper basically just bought the election.
What do you expect? Give the people what they want and there putty
What is Harpers platform all I have seen is attack adds on Tredou and nothing on Mulclair at all.
Voted NDP last time but I don't Trust Mulclair so I may just burn the vote as the Conservatives and the liberals don't deserve it.

Voter apathy generally helps the Conservatives over other parties.

"It's an uncertain economy, so play it safe and vote Conservative."
At least that's how the media is interpreting it.
I don't think Harper has done well with the economy we should have diversified instead of throwing all the eggs in the oilsands basket,we lost 24 cents off our dollar over the last few months.
Was anyone in Canada Computers near Spadina and College today? I left and saw an "Ayy lmao" alien set as the background on one of the monitors with a .bat file titled "Totally not the real Paul"

I think he's done better than the others would have. He certainly did better than Stephane Dion would have.
I received a package from China today.
The street address was wrong.
The postal code was wrong.
The town name was misspelled.
It still made it to me.
I keep getting mail for past residents here. I can understand if it was for the previous resident, but I've also gotten mail for 2-3 other people that used to live here.
:/ Update your mailing addresses please. I don't care about what Shopper's Optimum can do for me nor do I want whatever shit they're trying to push on you from 5+ years ago.

Worth noting that poll was through a conservative source and only counted decided voters (and lets be honest if your on conservative side of things there much less indecision to be had)
Other polls which counted leanings rather than just decides are still far more even.
The federal election in my riding is going to be interesting this year because of Mckay's resigning. Now someone else actually has a shot at it

Better yes but we are still in a crappy situation where are economy is heavily dependent on oil and its not paying off.

I've got major concerns about social security, education and healthcare under a continued Conservative government. And as far as I'm concerned, Harper needs to be removed at any cost for his and his parties underhanded tactics in every federal election, and for all his anti-democratic practices.
So I spent 8 hours today in 30 degree weather wearing a denim jacket and cargos riding a motorcycle. I felt like dying several times from the fucking heat.
Tomorrow I do the M test, hopefully I don't fuck up this time.
Going to consider travelling somewhere else for a few years if Harper wins again, I really won't have much faith left for people around here in general. I'm sure I'll get some "You're overreacting" comments but its really not worth living somewhere where the government actively shits on everything and the 70% of people who just go on and complain about it are too stupid to vote, or don't want to because "man politicians all suck man, I dont want to contribute to that"
Well if you don't want to contribute to having a shitty government [I]how about voting against the people you claim are shitty?[/I]
Man this is frustrating and incredibly disheartening, lets see how much more we can raise that 60 billion dollar debt

He's been found cheating the senate, been in contempt of parliament, has personal media blackouts that fucking baffle me, and his party has been found rigging votes back in 2011. The worst thing hearing is the "harper government" and seeing his stupid smile all over the place. I'm sure within the next five years he'll start to talk about how us citizens should be responsible for our own healthcare

If nothing else, I'd just say it's the system more than it is the people who live within it. This government's mandate was less than 40% of the vote. They can only sabotage themselves so many times.
Passed my M2 Exit test! Assuming all goes well with the Ministry, I'll have my full M by Thursday!
