    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    But put 50l of gas in your car and drive 100 kph down the highway. And we measure gas in litres but its 2 cups of flour in a recipe.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Temperatures are the measures I know both best on. I can pretty much translate the temps in my head without having to use the formula. That is because it came in when I was in elementary school and I learned it side by side. Every other one I use one or the other based on the situation but don't...

    Toronto Mayor John Tory to step down after admitting relationship with staffer

    I was not a fan but the alternatives are worse. Lots of left wing moonbats running for the job last fall.

    Ontario Liberal leaders look foolish with pitch for Green's Schreiner

    Actually, if he is planning on staying with the greens, his dithering continues to make the rival Liberals look bad.

    2SLGBTQQIA+

    How does she decide which washroom to use? At least you can't go wrong with pronouns. If she is everything, any pronoun will do.

    Or if you believe some people, the son of a President of a country could become Prime Minister of another country.

    Trans Lives Matter protesters occupy Oklahoma Capitol building (but when trump supporters do it then it's an insurrection)

    I don't think half the stuff I did as a kid is legal anymore. If my kid had done any of them I would have been arrested for child abuse.

    13&1/2% or 47%? Depends who you ask…

    It entirely depends on the job. I can get all the information and access I need through the laptop I use (company provided) and their VPN (running over my WifI network). When I go to work I take the same laptop in and plug in directly to their network. Before the pandemic I only had a desktop in...

    Hit and miss with regards to that. My company gave good cost of living increases this year. Others give nothing.

    Acclaimed ex-CBC journalist dies after latest random assault on Toronto streets

    They must have forgotten that last time he was released and that is why he re-offended.

    Acclaimed ex-CBC journalist dies after latest random assault on Toronto streets

    13&1/2% or 47%? Depends who you ask…

    I think this is the crux of the issue. Working from home requires the employee to be trustworthy. I would not call any government employee trustworthy. They don't get 8 hours of work from them in the office even when they attend for 8 hours.

    My job was one which transitioned well (after they built up the infrastructure properly) to working from home. They returned to a hyrbrid model last summer (2 days per week). We are moving down to 1 day per week next month. It's a win win since having 4 days at home frees up office space which...

    Toronto police to delete missing persons' last name, gender

    Ron, the nurse must have been mistaken. Everybody knows black people don't commit crime. The only reason they get arrested is because of racial profiling and systematic racism.
