[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;48438764]I was at an air show a few years ago and a B-52 was on its way from North Dakota to I think Guam or South Korea so since the air show was kind of in its flight path, it decided to come by and do a low altitude fly-by. That was probably the loudest aircraft I'll ever see at an air show. Of course that was a rare exception and at the crappy air show we have in southern Alberta the only military planes we get are the CF-18, the Snowbirds and an A-10 if we're lucky. I'd fucking kill to see the F-22 though.[/QUOTE] The F22 did some amazing acrobatics. We watched it hover in mid air, turn on a dime, buzz the crowd, do pitched flybys while open/closing its weapon bays, and fly in formation with a P-51. [editline]11th August 2015[/editline] The CF-18 had a pyrotechnics crew to pretend to bomb a target, it was fun.
Fuck me. Talk about a horrible fucking timing to go to Toronto. Had totally forgot about the Pan Am Games on Monday, arrived at Toronto at ~4pm hoping to get there before rush hour. Nah. Like 150km of pure fucking traffic congestion, was doing 2km every 30 minutes, at one point I had to take a shit so bad and I was getting sweaty just looking at all the cars around me and knowing there was no way out of this hell. I had a bucket in the back of my car, I had to shit in it. Fucking hell guys, forgetting a major event never again.

The fuck m8, I thought the rush hour was bad in Montreal but it's fucking unreal in Toronto, do people finish working at like 3 to be back home in time to go sleep at 9 or something? I was expecting traffic but 150km of traffic was absolutely fucking unreal, going 2km in 30 minutes is a nightmare.
It has taken me an hour and 15 minutes to drive 18km to work in the evening before. On a Sunday morning it takes me 20 minutes.
O-CANADA! It's great to be home. I almost hit a deer on the highway. :v:

Trying to see when a three-day weekend opens for me. I'm totally down otherwise.
Oh my glob we can sit around and discuss ratings and stuff, I'm super down
Tomorrow me and my brother head up to Naramata to visit my mom. I hope I don't die while driving on the coquihalla highway!
[quote="Vancouver Mayor, Gregor Robertson"]We do not have an affordable housing crisis in Vancouver.[/quote] [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/rent_hike.jpg[/IMG] For context: Someone I know got wind that an East Indian family wanted to buy the building he lives in so he moved out the month previous because he knew that people were about to get royally fucked over. When he came back to check the mail he found that.

Typical Toronto Sun
Oh it's not just them, [url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-heart-economy-care-bears-1.3190219]CBC's doing it too.[/url]
I actually find it hilarious
So yeah, the restrooms on Highway 5 need to be bulldozed and rebuilt cause right now one urinal is at the brim with piss and the one right next to it is filled with poop. But hey! at least I can say I did not get into a car crash or end up on the side of the road!
I'll be in the Okanagan this September (12 and 13).
I hope you're ready, Vancouver. [img]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/912/55r6So.jpg[/img]

If anyone's in new Glasgow and was to see poorly done Shakespeare this weekend, we're putting some on
[QUOTE=nomad1;48496001]Are those pay gates even operational yet :v:[/QUOTE] No they have been sitting like that for what a few yearts now?
[QUOTE=JesseR92;48499058]No they have been sitting like that for what a few yearts now?[/QUOTE] What a great use of tax payer dollars.
Went to Nova Scotia, 3 weeks ago Was really nice there.
[QUOTE=nomad1;48499730]What a great use of tax payer dollars.[/QUOTE] This is BC ,if the money wasnt mismanaged in some way there would be a crown inquiry into how that happened. Kinda sucks we keep taking hit after hit with how much money is getting wasted and then getting scooped out of the already strapped education and healthcare funds. Is BC the only province where you have to pay insurance premiums ontop of what comes out of our paychecks?

Fuck no, government healthcare doesn't cover shit like glasses or dentists in Ontario, you need health insurance even with socialized medicine.

[editline]20th August 2015[/editline] As in to even have health care.
