Now back to the fun in Toronto...

know this has to be in Canada as there are actually women in attendance (but probably to drool for Angus Young)

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

That show was held maybe two miles from my house.

A benefit show for the city after the SARS outbreak.

This morning at 7:00 our emergency alert system sent a blaring alarm through all our cell phones.

Crews respond to ‘incident’ at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station

We're about 25 miles away.

Not a fun way to start the day.

Sounds like you shouldn't have gotten it being so far away. Good opportunity to review the system.

This store is not far from my house. Must have driven past it hundreds of times and never noticed its name.

This tiny Toronto house just sold for $800K over asking

$1.8 million for this...

I used to live in that neighbourhood, back when it was kinda cool as opposed to rich hipster cool.

But 9 people are dead because a guy drove a van up a busy sidewalk just a couple of miles from my house and sped up. Cops got him, we'll know more soon.

This is not a good feeling. I love this city.

25 years before he can apply for parole.

Incredible that it took 3 years to convict.
