Morning Brew: January 29th, 2007

Posted by Jerrold Litwinenko / January 29, 2007

20070129_MB.jpgYour morning news roundup for Monday January 29th, 2007:

The over-priced, privately-owned 407 Express Toll Route has plans to begin offering gas and usage discounts to loyal, heavy users. I wonder if charges for giving birth to babies on the side of the highway are found in the fine print?

Another significant piece of concrete from the hurting Gardiner Expressway fell onto Lakeshore Boulevard below. Fortunately, no vehicles were directly hit by the comet.

The Bloor Street viaduct was shut down for part of the weekend after a passing pedestrian reported feeling electrical shocks and a dog's fur was slightly singed. Eddy Grant won't be staging a comeback.

The government of Canada is being sued for $335million by an American investor who claims that changes the Ontario government made to our garbage handling plans are costing his company economic loses stink. How is this even possible? Thank NAFTA.

Darrel Glenn was my old high school teacher. he's currently the head coach of the Men's Basketball Team @ Humber College where I attended for 4 years. Darrel is a great person and i'm sure he handled the baby situation with ease instead of in fear.
