The replacement for the Snow Birds

Ya, for $7k a week I would be expecting a lake house and not a cottage.

During COVID shutdowns we had take out 2-3 times a month and had a rule - no chain restaurants. Only local and independent businesses get our business. Even now, when my wife and I go out to dinner we only dine at local independent restaurants whenever possible.

My good friends parents came over from Greece in the early 50's. He quickly moved out of Toronto to Niagara where we worked for a farmer. he learned english, and saved up enough money to bring his wife over then they saved up for their first farm which was bought in early 1960's. They...

Boycotting a company is much easier when they have a crappy product and crappy service like Singh Hortons. I can count on one hand how many times I am caught I am sipping a Timmies in a year (usually at an Enroute when there are no other options or in a meeting when someone brings it in). I...

I grew up in East Hamilton and went to school with mostly white UK backgrounds, Italians, Portuguese, and some Pol's. All of them worked hard, valued education, kept their property in excellent condition and had very strong family ties - many had Grd Parents living with them. They were...

I think that has more to do with the type of people that migrated into these communities rather than the migration itself - ability to assimilate, adapt a skill, or trade and become gainfully employed, and avoidance of illegal activities.

I guess people don't know what they don't know. I'm OK with that as well

It's Brampton!! Why would anyone in their right mind want to live in Brampton. Location, location, location

I just cannot get past the Tracer 9 looks.......they need to go back to the drawing board on that one

AR's are the preferred choice in 3 gun matches - even though limited to 5 rounds (just buy more mags and practice)

Good Ole Beretta! Come one make it challenging and shoot skeet!

I agree......when the QEW gets backed up (and it gets backed up often) all the idiots that moved to Grimsby and work in Mississauga will try to drive through the neighborhoods to 'beat' the traffic on the way to the lift bridge. Last summer the skyway had reduced lanes, and the lift bridge was...

Maple Leaf

Maple Lodge processes my brothers chickens off his farm. I think he is referring to Maple Leaf........they owned Fearmans pork processing plant in Burlington for a bit. That is the plant that had the crazy PETA protesters every Wednesday. I remember driving by one Wednesday and there were two...

When I saw the product it was before casing and smoking it looked like runny porridge in a giant vat

One of my projects was at Fearmans in Burlington and saw the entire process from them walking in getting gasses and their throats slit to pork chops and hot dogs. Meh - want to make a cake you need to break a few eggs. Then again every fall I am elbows deep in a deer grabbing that wind pipe...

Excellent point. For the Burlington rib fest I usually put 2 racks of ribs and a split chicken on the smoker at noon. We walk down to the lake and have lunch (I prefer the chicken) - I usually find the ribs are not cooked to my liking as they have to really pump them out. I pick up sauce to...

I am not going crazy and moving to Markdale, South River or Tillsonburg but Burlington is too busy and I see it only getting worse with the rise in Condo's going in. I have been here since 1997 and downtown since 2003 and having to plan my trips to get across the bridge or out of the city is...

I'm a sucker for a good hot dog but the condiments can make or break it
