    Time Change - Ontario

    We didn't change our clocks while many others did but it still feels like the time is different. Not sure what time it is anywhere else.

    CFL

    Could the weather have been better? Looked fabulous on tv. Dome was open in BC as well. Tough end to the season for TO. Considering the upheaval of last off season, adding in the schedule they did a good job. They'll be better next year. Bombers did beat Montreal earlier in the year so don't...

    CFL

    Buckle up the chin straps, CFL playoffs are here. Sask will need to be brilliant to get by the Lions. It is a possibility. Bombers will want to play rope a dope and grind out a trip to Montreal. Toronto needs to be very careful. I can see Chad Kelly being quite motivated. 4 td passes would...

    We're about to set clocks back, but why hasn't Nova Scotia adopted a permanent daylight saving time?

    One of the things that has made this such a hot topic is when we aligned ourselves with the US to make the change on Nov 1. Previously early October made for a less drastic plunge into darkness and was much less discussed.

    Toronto votes: What you need to know for municipal election

    The end result was clearly masterminded by the administration who were able to tweek the Council to one of full support and protect their jobs and pet projects. Fairly low voter participation despite being only able to do so online or by phone with 2800 or so taking part. When the so called...

    Would be interesting to put a dollar value on politicians time spent talking about changing the clock.

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    Sad they did not have some sort of safety intervention in place. Hoping I never come across the video.

    Toronto votes: What you need to know for municipal election

    6 weeks of bull shit came to a quick end for me as I failed to win a seat on our local council. Something like 25% turnout and the administration trimmed the Council exactly to their liking. I did finish ahead of the former homeless guy with white glasses and also received good support from my...

    What are you listening to right now?

    49 years ago today, Lynryd Skynyrd's plane went down. RIP Ronnie Van Zant, Cassie and Steve Gaines plus both pilots. Yes they did run out of fuel.

    CFL

    So Sask needs a win against Montreal and the Als are resting Alexander, Philpot, and Snead. I can only hope BC decides to pull their starters tonight against Calgary as the Lions are locked into second regardless of who wins. It's been a horrible schedule all season long and takes away from...

    Northwestern Ontario awaits Queen’s Park decision on permanent daylight time

    Glad to see they used a meridian for the dividing line. I live in the affected area and will be happy to not be plunged into total darkness as it is already dark by 6:00 pm through 6:00 am (or 12 thru 4 the next day on the 16 hour day clock). Believe that puts on the same time as eastern...

    Northwestern Ontario awaits Queen’s Park decision on permanent daylight time

    Living in Dryden, this is of interest to me. Did hear mention city council was discussing the issue but it was made to sound as if the decision was going to be theirs. We are 3 weeks away from an election and they are hiring and issuing tenders like you would not believe. They even rescinded a...

    Manitoba ending seasonal time changes

    A better system would be a 16 hour day with 90 minute hours. Simple as can be and we don't lose a second. May even be able to push leap day to an 8 year rotation. It's genius and I thought it up myself.
