  1. You did see Juan hit the jet dryer under yellow right?
  2. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." Or in this case.... http://www.simcoe.com/news-story/4583438-former-barrie-cop-jason-nevill-released-from-jail-changes-name/
  3. Words escape me right now (at least the ones I can post here) http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/2014/04/25/driver-that-struck--alcona-teen-suing-dead-boys-family
  4. King Richards Pub? Used to go when it was King Henry's Arms.
  5. Sadly the women injured in the latest crash on the 400 has now passed away from her injuries. Good news is the MTO plans to replace the box barriers with concrete in the area (Canal rd to IBR). Question is how many more will die before they accomplish this?
  6. Nice generalization, I see enough accidents everyday on my drive through York region and normally there isn’t a transport truck around. Although about every second car/SUV I look at has the driver talking or texting on their phone. Oh and maybe the OPP officer who had stopped in the fast lane should have thought about the moving traffic in yesterday’s crash, Big rigs have a hard time slowing down on a dime….
  7. Watched the CTV chopper take off from buttonville airport and head north, we figured he was going to try and pass the "wall" to get to the 400 pileup. He was smart and took that photo and video of the storm (can see it on the Barrie.ctv.ca website) and didn't try to fly through. He landed minutes before it hit the airport, went from sunny to can't see across the street in a matter of minutes. That is Markham/Richmond hill in the photo.
  8. Not just the 400 http://www.durhamregion.com/news-story/4387642-vehicles-remain-stuck-on-scugog-causeway/
  9. How do you train the deer to blow the whistles?
  10. Two trips to Cancun and one to Cabo in the last 8 months and we are still alive. Of course you would never find me downtown Toronto in the entertainment district on a weekend. #justsayin
  11. You can buy him a whole car for less than that price. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-Honda-Civic-W0QQAdIdZ566252843
  12. Isn't the Bible fiction anyway? http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/yourcommunity/2013/11/costco-apologizes-for-labeling-bible-as-fiction.html
  13. Saw a couple of needle fish there too, but then again it was pretty cold out that day
  14. Just walk down by the “clothing optional” beach area and fish near the rocks there. Watched some nice cuda’s come out from there. You may not like the view though
  15. Because I’m open to listening to differing opinions, I can then make my own decision based on the information provided and my own beliefs. Too bad you can’t….
  16. As I mentioned these are a few opinions, never said they were mine. But then again "you lost all credibility" when you say you didn't even bother to watch. Stick your head in the sand much?
  17. a few opinions of David Suzuiki... http://opinion.financialpost.com/2013/11/07/peter-foster-trial-of-david-suzuki-a-mockery-of-a-mock-trial/ and http://www.torontosun.com/2013/11/06/david-suzuki-the-fallen-saint and "There are two David Suzuki’s. Most of us know one of the Suzuki's. Let’s call him Saint Suzuki. That’s the Suzuki whose TV show on the CBC constantly lectures us about our lifestyle. He says we need to consume less, buy less and use less fossil fuels. But then there’s another Suzuki. Let’s call him Secret Suzuki, because he’s far less well-known. Secret Suzuki is the one who lives on Vancouver’s elite Point Grey Road, on a double lot, overlooking English Bay, right above the exclusive Kitsilano Yacht Club. The City of Vancouver assesses the land value alone at over $8 million. And that’s just one of Secret Suzuki’s properties. He has another million-dollar home in Vancouver. And then there’s another home on Quadra Island. That’s three homes right there, if you count the double lot on Point Grey Road as just one property. But then there’s his large property holdings on Nelson Island. What’s so fascinating about that one is that he co-owns the property with an oil company, Kootenay Oil Distributors Ltd. They don’t plan to drill for oil together. It’s a beautiful tourist spot — maybe perfect for a nice big condo development. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with co-owning any property along with an oil company. But isn’t Saint Suzuki against fossil fuel companies — especially oil companies? Saint Suzuki tells us that the world is desperately overcrowded, that we’re overpopulated, and that we’re going to run out of things. But in his own life, Secret Suzuki has five children. There’s nothing wrong with having five children. It’s a blessing. But then why does he think other people should have fewer kids? Saint Suzuki rails against corporations and profits. He even gave a well-received anti-capitalist speech at the Occupy Vancouver protest. But Secret Suzuki himself has several corporations. One of them, the David Suzuki Foundation, took in a whopping $9 million last year and has $12 million in assets. More than 10 million of that is invested in stocks and bonds. Saint Suzuki despises lobbyists, and says they have a disproportionate control of political power in Ottawa. But Secret Suzuki himself has nine paid lobbyists registered in Ottawa’s lobbyist registry. Not one. Nine. Saint Suzuki despises politicians, and says they can’t be trusted. Secret Suzuki starred in a Liberal party TV ad along with former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty. Saint Suzuki says corporations have to be less obsessed by profits, and do more for the public good. They need to especially think of the interests of the next generation, our children. But Secret Suzuki has made a tidy profit off young people. His standard speaking fee at universities in Canada is $30,000 plus expenses. He billed Quebec’s John Abbott College a cool $41,000 to visit them. Saint Suzuki speaks in the language of tolerance and equality and liberalism — utterly politically correct. But Secret Suzuki engages in conduct that should cause feminists to raise an eyebrow. When he visited John Abbott College, his assistant called with special requests to go along with his speaking fee. Here is an internal e-mail from the college’s Mary Milburn: “We have learned, via Dr. Suzuki’s assistant, that although the Dr. does not like to have bodyguards per se, he does not mind having a couple of ladies (females) that would act as body guards.” The college’s Jim Anderson got involved in selecting the coeds, too: “Please be certain that the women are nicely dressed, we don’t want them in evening gowns, but definitely NOT Police Tech uniforms.” All of this bizarre selection of girls, dressed just so, was the result of Secret Suzuki’s special request. If he were a conservative, he’d be called a dirty old man. But he ’s a saint. So the college went along with it. David Suzuki is not a criminal. But he is not a saint. He’s a real man — a capitalist millionaire, a politician, a man with a staff of lobbyists, a prolific father, a wealthy landlord. If only he’d stop scolding the rest of us for aspiring to do the same. "
  18. 5am you won’t be bad. After 7am Woodbine backs up North of Stouffville road down past 16th. Woodbine bypass at Major Mac is a big backup as is North of 16th 404 backup usually starts around Elgin Mills all the way down Some bad mornings it can take 45 minutes from Stouffville to 16th. Keep your head on a swivel around Markham, some of the worst drivers around.
  19. TJ, put down the bottle of Crown Royal and get back to work.
  20. Chris Hall‏@cshallwriter7h America was not shut down properly. Would you like to start America in safe mode, with free healthcare and without the guns? (Recommended) Retweeted by Tom Colicchio
  21. They do a buttenville fly-over every year after the EX around lunch time. They were a bit late this year at 1:30pm. Too bad it won't last after they close the airport. Tight formation, smoke on!!!!
  22. "A male body was located 26 August 2013 at approximately 9:30am by the Great Manitou Island."
  23. You can get that here in Alliston Brian. Chip truck on 89 west side of town.
