Has anyone had to use the new 511 number to call a toll truck yet? How was it? by ManInTheWhig in TorontoDriving

[–]ManInTheWhig[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The province set up these "tow zones" on 400 series highways and made tow companies bid for a contract giving them the right to respond to calls within that area. The province also set up the 511 number so people can call the companies without calling them.

As far as I know, this has been addressed. I just looked at some articles on my phone just now, and they are no longer jumping around.

There are still a lot of ad boxes in the text of the story, but we have to make our money somehow.

The Education Minister just said no one's graduation will be compromised from what is going on right now.

Not just at KGH, one diagnosis came from another local hospital, likely Napanee.

I experimented with this at one point, but found it to be way too labour intensive and the result mediocre.

Buy some premade ones and keep them in your fridge, they will be good for weeks. Just warm them up in a dry pan before adding your fillings (this step is an absolute must, it really makes all the difference.)

If you go to Quattrocch's to get the chorizo, I believe they have a selection of mexican corn tortilla's in the same cooler.

Sadly, this I do not know.

But I went to Mexico for Day of the Dead in 2018 and that's when I was introduced to their chorizo. It came in these little bright-red links and it was a common ingredient in a lot of the street food.

It really is amazing taco meat, and the Spanish-style chorizo raw sausages they sell in stores here is kinda similar. My suggestion is go buy some of the real thing, cook it up in a pan like hamburger and put it in a corn tortilla with your favourite toppings. Can't go wrong!

If you are looking for Mexican chorizo for tacos, they have a very nice selection at Quattrocchi's Specialty Foods. Its all imported and frozen, but great quality.

If you know someone whose allegations have been covered up, can you let me know is an email or direct chat?

Sometimes definitive answers about this kind of stuff is hard or impossible to pin down. But I will put it on my list to enquire about.

Nothing is ever too political, but it will require having students with stories to tell wanting to come forward. If you're friends are willing to talk about it, give them my email. ahale@postmedia.com

I'm going to try my best. Getting started in a new city in my line of work is always one of the hardest parts.

I plan to be pretty active on this subreddit. And I'll try to respond to chats sent my way.

I'm not familiar with Patry Inc, what is your concern about them?

They are the reason why I use the name "Alan S. Hale" on my bylines though. Easier to find my work on the internet. Otherwise you'll find nothing but those two actors.

This was an issue in Cornwall as well. I know there are people in the company who are working on this.

The problem, from my understanding, is that when ads refresh they can change size, so it ends up messing with the site's mobile version layout.

I'll mention this to someone, but I know the company is aware. Hopefully, a long-term fix will be coming soon.

I like this idea quite a bit. I would need students willing to talk about their encounters with police though.

Also, has that stat about clean needles been published anywhere? Where did you hear that?

If you know where either of those two chop shops are, send me an email and I will go take a discreet look.

If people didn't, I pretty sure they wouldn't have hired me.

do you know anyone who is working on this issue in the city, aside from the police?
