The real irony is the number of people who bitch about the price of gas but don't even think twice about paying $1.50 for a half liter of bottled water that they can get from their tap for literally pennies.




Oh Jinentonix..........................................


you are MISTAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Tap water IS NOT THE SAME as bottled water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The KEY DIFFERENCE IS THE AMOUNT OF TOXIC LEAD in your tap water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


various Ontari-owe municipalities continued TO INSTALL LEAD WATER PIPE UNTIL THE EARLY 1970`s ..........................................



because the stuff has such a LONG SERVICE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ALL that pipe IS STILL IN PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The stuff has a service life of over 100 years and thus penny pinching civil service union HOGS who are TOTALLY FOCUSED on their



own GRAVY........................................................................


HAVE NO PLANS to replace any of that toxic pipe until they absolutely MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Another dirty little HOG secret is that even when they do replace lead pipe with copper.................................


they often LEAVE a few feet of lead pipe in place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Lead is rather more flexible than copper and thus easier to wiggle into place when splicing in new sections!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The city of Toronto commissioned an investigation that found 13 percent of Toronto residences had HIGH LEVELS of lead in their drinking water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And with a whole bunch more residences revealing lower but still nasty lead contamination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yet Toronto HOGS want to PRETEND that tap water is no different than bottled water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What a bunch of HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get your shorts in a knot, Jinentonix basically has it right. 99% of tap water won't harm- you can drink it for 100 years and still doe of something else. Bottled water industry is basically a scam. I can see buying a bottle or two while travelling but to drink it while at home is basically stupid.

You're right, it's not. In most cases bottled water is lower quality water than tap water. The uh, 13% of Toronto's water pipes aside. Independent tests in Montreal show that 7 of the 10 most popular brands of bottled water were of lower quality than Montreal tap water. The other three were about the same quality.
Then you have the issue of de-valuing water by putting it in a petroleum based vessel. You see buddy, if you've been paying attention one thing the bottled water business ISN'T doing is advertising their products as superior to tap water. They don't mind if you think it is and they won't say anything to discourage that belief. But the reason they can't claim their product is of superior quality is because it would be an outright lie that would be quickly and easily debunked.

Bottled water aside... Consider the lemmings that drop big $$'s on their lattes at Starbucks.


... Cut-out that little bit of leftardary each day and you have a tank of gas (1/4 tank in YVR)

Coffee in general is getting to be a real rip off! It used to be that when you bought a meal in a restaurant there was no charge for the coffee. Now these bastards are tacking on anywhere from $2 to $3.50 for a cup of coffee.

Asian is not exactly a nationality.

But I do appreciate that you are trying.

My, we are getting technical. Should he have listed the nationalities of 47 countries?
Don't confuse him. Clearly he thinks only the Chinese are Asians. Either that he thinks he's being all PC and shit.
It's okay Hoid, it's not racist to call the Chinese 'Chinese'.

LIE-berals plan to drive the fossil fuel price SO HIGH that we can never afford to buy any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What did you expect? People a lot smarter than you have been talking about the damage burning fossil fuels is doing for decades but who was listening?



If all that matters to you is your wallet then isn't that the best place to get the message across?
