Tim Hortons has been in the news lately and taking heat for hiring all the temporary foreigners, every single post regarding Tim's I've seen on facebook in the last 5 years has had 300 negative comments below it with people saying they will never go there yet every...

    Pickup Trucks

    Any particular reason you would stay away from them? Only has 14 engine idle hours so not like it was just sitting and running like a security or police vehicle might... He talked about tons of low mileage F150's that come up in these dealer only auctions.

    Pickup Trucks

    After literally years of searching/thinking/deciding I finally found one I am happy with and upgraded. Kind of a unicorn truck. Was owned by Ford corporate, used at one of their plants, a bit of a mystery why they kept it around so long or what they did with it as it is in literally new...

    Soccer Canada car flags $4

    I hear on the radio every day how much people are struggling, can barely afford rent, have to use food banks, etc etc...why isn't the stadium half empty at those prices. It's amazing how many people can come up with the money for these types of things. Seems to be so much disparity. Same with...

    Food choice

    Yeaaa...last time I was in Europe there was none of that on the menu's. Somehow they all survive.. Maybe it's changed in the last few years to accommodate the western tourists. Though I would bet highly doubtful they mess around with any of that in Eastern Europe where you're still allowed to...

    Trailers

    I had a little bearco aluminum 5x8. Very well made, I think somewhere near waterloo.. All the corners are sealed top to bottom, no exposed lighting wires. keep an eye on used ones that pop up. Bought for 2700, sold 3 years later for 3k :)

    Gold is Gone

    Bump. Not shocking I guess for Canada. Another arcticle I saw the other day about how easy it is to go into the doors at Pearson that are supposed to be for exiting travellers....if you look like you fit in or just don't care about being caught you can walk right into the baggage carousels...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    People were lining up for days for them, videos online - many arguments/altercations of people that store/mall security had to get involved with. Also something about people thought they would be limited numbers/editions but I don't think they are making any promises on numbers.

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    There's a hotel in Pickering they're trying the same experiment with, under the radar. No word what their plan is after they give the refugee a 90 day free stay.
