What's happening in the GTA (and sometimes beyond):
Bow-chicka-chicka-bow-bow [Star]. Three city councillors had lunch (mmm... "finger me foods") with beats blaring and boobs bouncing at a south Etobicoke strip club, and gave the "facility tour" a thumbs up. They didn't look at the girls, of course, but they did return late for their 1:30pm meeting.
The Ontario budget was unveiled by Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty yesterday, but it looked a lot like a Conservative plan. This prompted the Globe & Mail to publish two separate pieces: one likening McGuinty to Flaherty, and another suggesting Harper and McGuinty are partners. While it's unlikely that both are cheating on their wives and secretly dating each other, the budget does ring more nonsensical than I expected.

There's been an arrest in the despicable needle-in-the-ham food tampering case [CityNews] out in Guelph, but the "big jerk" who threw a live puppy in the garbage [Sun] is a mystery. Incidentally, the Sun's puppy story also wins today's "headline-that-could-have-been-written-by-a-6-year old" award.
And 6 new condo developments have been approved by City Council [NP]. It would appear that the boom isn't dead yet!

So three Italian Councillors walk into a strip club. Bada Bing!
...But I'm sure they just needed *something* to do on their lunch since they'd already inspected every Etobicoke billboard, building permit and fence to make sure those municipally-regulated features comply with the law.

Simply shameful to be a National Post reader today(*arghhh)
I doubt most people wouldn't do the latter.
You I would urge to keep examining your assumptions. And I'd do so to your face too.
@Diane Straight up. I apologize for the tree hugging hipster who thinks he's tough because he uses the name Parkdale.
And as much as I dispise McGunity, I'm glad he actually introduced some income tax cuts and some corporate tax cuts. He's burning up money quicker than Obama, though!
When out driving around during Earth Hour I will keep the lights on my Mercedes SUV switched off.
Here's a "star" sticker for you for being SO funny. Were you just voted "funniest" in your Grade 3 class?!(*congrats! WOo!)
*You know, those who don't support worthy causes(*however FLAWED or ironic they may be) probably are the biggest poluters of all.
For that, here's another sticker guys!
Do YOU work for Earth Day? Are they really derailing dollars?! Show me the stats.
You know, it baffles me how you could support Earth Day and make FUN of Earth Hour! That's a little ironic dont you think?
I'd much rather see something to target the douches (including my Pious driving neighbour!) who:
-put the garden hose on high and spend 20 minutes washing the sidewalk instead of using a rake or broom
-use the A/C when its not really needed
-let cars "warm up"
Something to target that would be FAR more beneficial than a hour of symbolism. Come Earth Hour, for every light you turn off I'll turn on three.
*I wish i could say the same thing about "somechic". Wasting her time online by not contributing maturely to a simple discussion. Sad.
