85 feels more like 8.5 Here in Kleinburg we got rain/snow all day, they say it will flash freeze overnight and my drive downtown is all down hill. . Not a good time to have my 4 x 4 Jeep in the garage for the winter!

At Jane/Dundas/St Clair/ (independents outlets) area gas is ALWAY 3-4 cents below what we pay in Weston and the 401/Woodbridge area; my last fill up was 1.06. Our government (a bunch of idiots and that is just me) really knows how to discourage visitors; taxing everything that keeps them from coming here. Gas, HST etc. I'm NO economist but if you tax people to death they have no disposable income, which slows down the economy. Do you not think that the transportation industry will not pass on these fuel cost? Prices will go up and they collect more taxes . . . and we fall farther behind. I hope that our next governors will realize that taxing us to death is not the solution; we have to have the $s to spend and keep everyone else going; from food stores to recreational activities/tourism. The more we have to spend the more they get, but if you take it up front! I'd like to know how many of our American friends have decided not to come because of the transportation/HST costs . . .

If she read this, you will be getting an iNone.

They have made one for you Lew.

I need a bit of help. I working on a tourism book for Spring/Summer 2011. I will have a section of NEW things to do see in Ontario. This could be a new hotel, golf course, fishing lodge, fishing tournaments, events in your community etc. Any age group . . . I would need the event, location and dates and contact if possible for verification. I can't go to press if not verified. I'd really like to hear from Northern people, I get complaints that we don't mention you. You can respond here or pm me Thanks for your help

Not worry Irish, I won't save anything; they come over for dinner EVERY Sunday and this week I had him here for two days! CT business I have three married daughters and one at home so I have to feed 4 more people, It's cheaper to buy gas.

We are getting it up the again after midnight, an increase of 4.5 cents!

Great report Justin! Great to see my buddy Steve is still kicking LOL Haven't seen him in a while.

Here is the report form 680News. Some sad cases out there. http://www.680news.com/sports/article/150864--hockey-items-stolen-during-pat-burns-funeral

Just heard on the news Pat Burn's widow's car was broken into and number of Pat's items were stolen. What a bunch of idiots, to say the least.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

Happy TG to all our southern cousins. Our main news item today was, us coming down for the great deals on "black Friday." Please, pay back the visit ASAP, Sorry, my tourism instinct just kicked in!!!! Have a great safe weekend; I have family in CA I think of.

I hit the wrong button . . Getting old When I was a kid I delivered the Globe 80 papers by 7 am in midtown Toronto. We were paid 2 cents per paper, as the bag got lighter I would collect pop bottles and cash them in also at 2 cents to supplement my income!

Jump in anytime Irish, I need your help!. I love your math. My bill for last two months was almost even for all three rates! Looking into it this week. As for conservation I do my part. I do not drive one day a week! I don't see why we PAY FOR NOT producing . . . and yet we have these pricing structures. Doest it cost more to generate in the daytime than at night? Hell, I worked the night shift many, many, many years ago; we got paid more! I'm sure the guys working nights at Niagara/elsewhere are not paid by the KW/h or they would want the mid-peak or on-peak shift. Maybe he should change his name to McScrewyou. Because I'll have a job after you vote me out.

Some Jack reported it and it was allover the net, he had move back to QC. Don't follow hockey but he is was one of the best in the game . . .

:wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: This article really got my . . . itching! CTV News: Bruce Power got millions to not produce electricity ‘The people of Ontario paid Bruce Power nearly $60 million in 2009 to not generate electricity for the province, CTV Toronto has learned. A deal between the nuclear generator, a private company, and the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) sets out a guarantee for a certain amount of power to be purchased -- even if it's not needed. The technical term is called surplus baseload generation. The agency agreed to pay Bruce $48.33 for each megawatt hour of electricity that was not needed. In 2009, demand for electricity was down in Ontario, largely as a result of the recession. This meant Bruce's nuclear reactors weren't operating at full capacity. As a result, the OPA paid Bruce power $57.5 million for about 1.2 terawatt hours of electricity that was not produced. A terawatt is a million megawatts.’

Well if there is a recession Vaughan Mills/BPS was not suffering, BPS was jammed when I was there.

I don't usually frequent malls much, but Saturday morning I was at BPS and sure enough there it was Christmas music! One woman actually made it known that it was too early for it.

Our thoughts are with you Wayne.

Look out the other window! Some mornings I look out the back and don't see the car! It's out front waiting for me. All clear here in Kleinburg just cold. Spending the day with my kids is a bonus. Drive safe Lew.

I quit the day I found out I had a child coming into this world, 33 years ago. It gets easier as time goes by. Don't look back! :clapping:

I'm in. . .
