TSC in Peterborough sells by the pound/kilo, or at least did, last time I was there

Don't candy-coat it George, tell us how you really feel!

I find all shows similar to this one are also shrinking or have shrunk completely. I remember the good old one at the Markham fairgrounds, the good Car and Van shows that took up 2 full bldgs. The list goes on. Not really sure what the issues are but I have heard rumors that greed and more of a corporate input to them have ruined them.

Although I haven't been to the last 2-3, I still enjoy the Peterborough show as it has more of homegrown/Ma n Pa type feel to it. 

Unfortunately the Peterborough show was bought up by the same people that run the Toronto show!

Time will tell what happens to it now.

Thanks for all the help everyone! 

The trip went well. I hopped on the 7:09 am express train out of Whitby and arrived at my destination around 8:40 am.

The worst part was finding the Subway and making sure I got on the right one. People were friendly and quick to help me when I asked if I was going in the right direction and if I had chosen the correct subway train.

Coming home was much easier, of course, but the amount of people at these times was something else! It would have real easy to get screwed up/lost but now that it's under my belt, I would have no qualms about doing it again if needed. 

we'll make a citidiot of you no time!!!

Correct Irv

Check out this site  https://www.ttc.ca/Subway/interactive_map/interactive_map.jsp#

Eglinton splits east/west at Yonge st, the subway is at Eglinton and Yonge, depending on what the address is for your appt you can either walk east on Eglinton or take a bus if it's too far to walk

Now when John Lee Hooker died I was pissed. I had tix for his show in T.O. when it was postponed due to health reasons. The nerve of an old guy to go & die. 😉

You probably scalped them anyway☺️

Not sure if you can answer this one?

We attended a family BBQ on the weekend.  The party was held on a relative's 100 acre property, well away from the neighbours (the neighbour was invited and attended).

At some point during the evening we noticed a drone circling the party. When it noticed that several people were pointing at it, it rose in elevation but stayed overhead. There was some talk about shooting it down, but I was able to convince them that discharging a firearm would probably result in more of a problem.

Question, what is the law concerning drones? Are they allowed to spy on you? Can they be shot down? How can you stop them from flying over head?

Thanks for this venue to ask questions.

Cannabis Beer??

"Two Treats in one"

We have a saying locally, "no problem is too big, that it can't be solved with a shotgun and a front end loader!"

we had 3 or 4 rental properties in Huntsville in the early 90's, nothing but welfare and mothers allowance cases.

One of the happiest days in my life when we sold them in 97.

Another day, another fatal shooting on Driftwood...

fixed it for ya!

so where do city folk get rid of the brush? We just burn ours, but I understand you can't do that within city limits any more.

Don't get me wrong, I have no love for Trudeau, and that not what I'm trying to say.

Basically I'm tired of gold digging women dredging up some long ago incidents, in order to get a payday or ruin someones career

So if he touched her ass is that ok?

If he grabbed her breast is that ok?

If he touched her in any way is that okay?

Based on the articles that were posted this is not a drunk propositioning a female.   

Sounds more like a rich kid with a big name at a party and thinking based on his looks and his name he could act with impunity and do what he wanted.  Touch, grab, or feel.   His response at the time of I would not have acted this way had I known you were a reporter for a national newspaper says it all.   He figured he was Justin Trudeau and could act however he pleased.  Rich trust fund kid!  

Seen many over the years in school and Muskoka.

 

Either way his actions need to be handled the way he has handled all the other claims in his party!

Kicked out of the Liberal caucus!  

 

Can a PM be kicked out of his party?

If, If, If......that's at lot of if's!

The article I read did not mention any physical contact. IF there was , then that is a different matter!

Hitting on someone is not groping them.  

agreed

sexual abuser is a pretty strong accusation. Not trying to defend him, but from what I read, it sounds like he was just trying to hit on her.

The problem seems to be with his so called apology, saying he was sorry, he wouldn't have hit on her if he'd known she was with the press!

So you'd hire those contractors that got caught sparking 1 up beside the job site along Eglinton earlier this year?

No I wouldn't, same as I would not hire someone who had alcohol on the job.

That being said, I have no problem if someone has a joint or two on their own time. I personally know several successful business owners, who have indulged in the herb for many years now.

Fact: no one has ever overdosed on weed, nor is it addictive!

I rather doubt that there will be a significant increase in pot use after it is legalized. Studies in Colorado, Oregon and Washington did not show any significant increase in usage after it was legalized there

a subway to Pickering is a great idea!

Most people in Pickering drive now because taking the GO is not convenient. Parking is a nightmare and if you don't board the train in Oshawa you will never get a seat!

People laughed at Edmund Burke (look him up) for his forward thinking ideas, as well!

ahhh....... city life!

with all it's rules and regulations🙄
