Re: feedback please as we are considering moving tom south western Ontario.

The GO train is regular. I don't think it's practical but that's true for everywhere except the core of the lakeshore line, to the west that's as far as Oakville.

Guelph to Toronto is commutable by...

Re: One month (kinda) in Kelowna BC

Now, now, there's nothing wrong with delighting in, reveling over, gloating obsessively about, one's location and consumer durables. I fear that, if I lived overlooking Central Park, I'd do the same.

A close business associate of mine died from that illness (when there was no treatment and it when was still the sickness that dared not speak its name). I can't think any scenes of that demise...

That's it, I saw the theme was musicals and Liberace flopped into my head, I wondered if Michael Douglas was credible in the film.

Re: Toronto Renting

Munro St was an absolute dump in the middle of nowhere; not downtown like the Market area, not a lively inner 'burb like the Beach, an area of unused warehouses and the like. It's now an absolute...

Re: Toronto Renting

Dundas and Parliament is really in Toronto but I don't know that one would think of it as "downtown". Estate agents would offer it as Lower Cabbagetown.

Re: Should landlords have the right to refuse tenants with pets?

There's a place down the road from us where, over the winter, I noticed they had a camel. Since spring they've had a whole herd of smaller camels. I suppose this may be usual in camel keeping circles...

Re: Toronto Renting

Not sure what you mean by "central", geographically there's nothing to choose so is it a signifier of something else, for example would you say Regents Park is "central"?

Re: Should landlords have the right to refuse tenants with pets?

I think they should have that right. If they do not then how can they turn down a dangerous floor chewing dog but not a fluffy kitten with its bum sewn shut?
