I can't believe that @thestar.com paid a staff reporter to write a story on astrology in the GTA section. 😏

Sheriff’s deputies euthanized five monkeys that got loose when the truck carrying them overturned on a Mississippi highway on Tuesday after the driver mistakenly told them that the primates were infected with Covid-19, hepatitis C and herpes when they were not, the authorities said.

The Bay paid $1 million for her to perform at their Christmas window opening only a few years ago. For that reason I welcome their bankruptcy
31 years ago today, Mariah Carey released “All I Want For Christmas Is You" which officially made her bigger than Jesus.

BREAKING: Ontario’s Auditor General says Ford’s Skills Development Fund process was “not fair, transparent or accountable.”

Add it to the pile.

Greenbelt: “Not transparent, objective or fully informed.”

Like most, I support the speed cameras. If they are foolishly banned I will throw my support behind the city replacing them with stop signs.

I don't understand why so many people are trying to justify taxpayers paying $400 million so a quarter of Canada Post addresses can maintain a better level of service.
As for new services, how about making the parcel service more profitable? That will take union concessions, not a strike.

Good morning! The sun is shining 🌞and the Premier is mad-as-hell because his rights-removal lever might be made a little tighter. How in the hell is he going to remove bike lanes when the crummy rights of pinkos are allowed to get in the way? 🚴‍♂️#ONPoli

So if I upgrade to a premium subscription at the @thestar.com will I stop getting articles about John Tory?

The grocery stores with their reluctance to take back empties, is really not a thing. They just don't want to do it. They talk about the dirty, filthy empties, suggesting they will contaminate the food.

Meanwhile, they were required to accept pop bottles for years and managed to survive.

Finally getting my mental equilibrium back after my weekend stay at St. Michael's Hospital. In the three times I went to ER in a week, the last time for 3 days, I've encountered many nurses. What a talented and professional group. They took good care of me because I was: Patient.

The ultimate test of patience is waiting during the time between the nurse receives your discharge order and the delivery of the discharge paperwork.

I'm being discharged today by my specialist which is good because I am in worse shape now than when I walked in here on Friday.

Still here, in ER, waiting for a bed upstairs. No WiFi in my corner and I've used all my data!

Your reminder that Moderna’s newly updated COVID vaccine, targeting the LP.8.1 variant, has been approved by Health Canada and, for the first time, will be manufactured here in Canada. So I fully expect those of us who want it to be able to get it. When? I would think late October.
