Ontario Premier Kathllen Wynne is raising the minimum wage from $11.40 to $15 an hour.
Since her reign the cost of living has gone throw the roof now she wants to win votes rather than work on creating really jobs. Better living standards is a good idea but all we'll do is cut hours to compensate. Big companies will do the same or leave the province.

This Week in Canada,
Man steals 200 turkey pot pies from a church in Ontario.

A trail of unusually out-of-season cranberry sauce?Quote:
On Tuesday, Oxford County Ontario Provincial Police said they had made an arrest in the theft after receiving several tips from the public [they] "...were able to follow the trail of evidence and it lead to the charge and arrest."
Yeah but it's a Canada thread so 90 % of the people reading it think it's quaint and don't really give a fuckQuote:

I can't decide if that Ontario Premier lady(?) looks more like Orville Reddenbacher or Daniel Tosh in Drag.
In other news... Just another day in Vancouver

Man there must be some serious exotic car wreckage there I bet.
Well that's a write-off.Quote:

It was amusing witnessing the strike in Quebec City on Monday. Lot's of "strikers" in their union shirts and hardhats out for a nice picnic in the sun on the wall remnants overlooking the circle. And many more found sitting in cafes or playing tourist all over the city.
Things are getting out of control on the coast #resist

Comments are pretty funny esp. the "Good times never seemed so good..." "So good! So good! So good!" exchange.Quote:

No Idea why people daily drive vehicles so poorly suited to the task. They end up crashed into fire hydrants, or impounded for racing up the sea to sky highway.

Canada doesn't produce many mass murders. It's a wake up call when it happens. Makes me wonder if this sick behavior has happened many times in nursing homes or hospitals without the perpetrators being caught.Quote:
Former registered nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer, 49, who pleaded guilty in Superior Court in Woodstock, Ont., today to 14 charges including first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated assault, told the court that a "red surge" would come over her when she was about to kill someone.
I was there only once and I need to get back and take in the sites, food and drink.Quote:

Sit Ubu, sit. Good dog.
To me, ever since they made Quebec a World Heritage site it's gotten kind of sterile at least within the walls and in the old town. I've been there many times since I was a kid and now it seems like it's gradually turning into a museum. Walk around the streets near the Chateau Frontenac and look closely and you'll see that many of the houses look nice but are unoccupied, I think in part because it's too hard to make any changes now. It seems more like Florence now, like a diorama not a real place. Still cool but a lot less real than it used to be.
I have lived within 4 hours of Quebec City for 47 years and this is the first time I have ever gone north of Montreal. It was fun. I did notice a lot of empty places exactly where you did, however I can't compare it to a previous visit. For the record, we drove south to Quebec and not north, as we came back from NB around the top of Maine. What a long boring drive. HFS.Quote:

Meanwhile on Mount Robson....north face was skied. Not even planned, really. "I'll just take a look down it, eh while I'm on top?"
"Looks good boys, see you at the bottom!"
Only slightly more impressive than the post above, wherein someone skied Mount Robson...
This Week in Canada,
It has only taken a mere 14 days for Newfoundlanders to decide that, after previously enjoying their golden beach sands alongside a rotting and rancid 9070 kg whale corpse (aboot 20,000 pounds for you Muricans) that actually died up to a month earlier, that they are indeed going to remove the rotting whale corpse.
Gootay at da beach, by.
http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/...eeks-1.3442517
Currently, the beach has a beautiful, oily, bacteria-infested sheen, which I think could be a real great draw for tha tourists, donchaknow.
Water's too cold, nobody goes to the beach to swim, plus they're down with rancid fish for sure, that's lobster bait, so you pay to get rid of it if it bothers you is the sentiment I'm sure.
I do like this:
"If you've ever smelled any kind of a dead animal, just realize there's 20,000 pounds (9070 kilograms) of dead animal there."
Ah. 9070 kg. I was confused for a moment there.
For some reason I hear you reading this in Norm MacDonalds voice, on his new Netflix standup special.Quote:

This impressed me:
"The biggest challenge was the end of summit day. We were coming down after a long day and it was windy, I was getting really cold, and bad weather was coming in. I was exhausted, and we actually had to go back uphill to get to camp. That was a challenge — keeping my mental game strong through that."
Seriously, what are most 13 to 15 year olds doing with their time?
Lobster truck crash.

Grant said people were in the ditch with garbage bags filling them up with lobster.
"Some people had their kids further off in the ditch kind of scrambling around trying to get the good ones. It was quite a scene. The lobster looked, I mean they were good, fat, previously healthy looking lobster."
"I mean I did have a moment where I was thinking I wonder if I shouldn't pick up a few," said Grant.
But the strong smell coming off the lobster kept her from picking up any
Serves them right for defeating the Jays last year and preventing José Bautista from flipping his bat in the World Series :fm:Quote:
TORONTO — Ontario's human rights tribunal is considering hearing a complaint that seeks to bar the Cleveland Indians from being able to use their team name or wear specific logos at major league baseball games played in Toronto.
The complaint was filed last October, at the height of the playoffs, by indigenous activist and architect Douglas Cardinal, who alleged the team's name and logo amounted to racial discrimination.
Fakt
