Guest Johnny Bass Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Crazies in Toronto figure their garages are for cars, we all know they are adult toy boxes I think this is laughable and that this law will not last too long. Just the Auto industries unions alone would make enough noise to kill this bill.
Bitsmith2k Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 You think that the CHIP in your credit card adds more protection -- think again. The banks can easily turn your account OFF, so if they do get chips in us - they will use the excuse that it would provide even more protection. But it will not. the chip doesnt provide the bank with the ability to 'turn your account off'..
capt bruce Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 "the chip doesnt provide the bank with the ability to 'turn your account off'.. Bitsmith2k you got that right ,I was mailed a new "chip card" but put in the drawer and forgot about it , Labour day weekend Im up in Manooth and go into town on Sunday morning to pick up some things my debit card does not work ??? say my sorrys and head over to the cibc machine across the street , card does not work !!! call the 1-800 number and Im told they disconnected my swipe card as all cards now have to be chipped and I was mailed a new one why am I not useing it , Sunday long weekend 72 cents in my pocket 300 miles from home and they cut off my money!! After getting thru to a supervisor (22 minutes off my cell ) they gave me a 7 day grace period to activate my chipped card , dont need no chips to cut you off !!!!!
crappieperchhunter Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 I don't care how many cars you have in your driveway...fit em in with a shoehorn if you have to. My problem is when you park them all over the street. My neighbor directly across from me has 4 grown kids still at home and they all have cars... so 6 adults equals 6 vehicles PLUS him and his son's company work trucks make 8. AND there garage is so full of junk that they can't park in it. So usually 4-5 vehicles on the street ALL the time, and that's not even counting when they have company because all visitors park on the street as well. It can be a little frustrating getting the boat trailer in and out of the driveway sometimes Totally illegal for them to park on the street overnight in the winter because of our snow removal by-laws...but the rest of us are trying to be good neighbors and not complain....but it's getting harder and HARDER to keep quiet. I'm just patiently waiting for there kids to stop suckling at the teat and move out.

Dara Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 that sounds about right. They gotta pretty up the driveways the same as they are doing for lake superior. They are putting windmills all over it to make it look better...oh wait, no, thats to supply power to toronto...talk about not in my backyard. Look at it this way...you can just shoot the guy that complains
jedimaster Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Well I have gone through about 6 chip cards in the last year as I keep leaving it in the stupid debit terminal. Evenutally I won't need on as I'll have one saved for me at every store.

Also in the townhomes here, their garages all seem to be packed so they park their extra vehicles on the road.

I'm just patiently waiting for there kids to stop suckling at the teat and move out. I had a neighbor that parked on the street just because. I had a heck of a time getting my trailer in the yard. He was out one day and I said its a pita. He said well just come ask me to move it. I said, no, I'll just drive into the side of your van if its in the way. So 2 weeks later he comes to my door and asks about the big dent in the side of his van. I just smiled and closed the door. He doesn't park there no more.
Headhunter Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Boy Dara, I gotta say that I'm pretty happy that you don't live next door to me! HH

HEE HAW Edited October 7, 2010 by capt bruce
ehg Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 HAHA... Thank god I am moving out of the big smoke. Toronto you can go eat yourself into a Red Light Hooker infested communist tree hugging, police state all you want. I am soo outa here. Pretty muc sums up my feelings on my fellow Torontonians!!!! As a Torontonian i resemble the bitterness in this whole thread. No matter where i am will get along with all folks. Even the 'Shwa where i lived in my youth. You just adjust and adapt like to poor fishing conditions.
Flappn Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 It think it also has to do with renters. I know where I lived they eliminated parking on both side's of the road. When I called they said that most houses in your area have single car driveways and are intended for single family use. With the increase in renters in basement apartments we are now seeing parking on the street increase and renters are not what we are looking for in this neighborhood. I gotta tell ya...for all you land lord's out there good for you...but having renters in basements beside my single family dwelling has caused me nothing but grief in the past...so I liked the city's explanation and all for it. I've since moved (because of the renters).
capt bruce Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Flapping , sorry to hear about the dent in your van .

Billy Bob Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 I think this is laughable and that this law will not last too long. Just the Auto industries unions alone would make enough noise to kill this bill. But this is YOUR socialist/communist government YOU are so much in favor of...
Dara Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Actually, I'm from Toronto. I was born there. I don't acually shoot at my neighbors or run into their silly mini vans. If you live in the big populated city you gotta expect a bunch of crappy rules that keep people in line. It sounds bad but like the other guys say, it keeps the renters from covering the street in cars. Sure glad I moved away from there...now I gotta go skin this coon edited to add...just got a phone call from my daughter as i was hitting the post button. Some idiot lowlife just ran into her car in the parking lot and took off Edited October 8, 2010 by Dara
