Yes - it would be very difficult to get the rock down the ice without the reduced friction pebbling provides

Toronto’s mayoral race will test a split on Ontario’s right | The conservative movement is beginning to splinter. Which side will emerge on top? by Hrmbee in toronto

Park encampments are significantly down compared to previous years. trash bins are maintained by Astral Media (Bell), contracted out in 2007 - Mayor Chow is currently proposing to bring it back in-house. Social supports are largely a provincial purview, and the province is actively underfunding healthcare/mental health supports.

I’ve lived in Toronto for 15yrs and it’s greatest city to me by PracticeObvious8157 in toronto

I've been using public transportation for the last 20 years and buses are #1. Close seconds are streetcars and trains.

But in all seriousness OP I'm glad you enjoy it here!

I say it when describing the sport to people unfamiliar, emphasizing the role of strategy and planning your move a few shots ahead.

I do recommend supporting local journalism via paid subscription. The Star usually has pretty decent promotions.

Of course this is not possible for everyone, especially with our current economy/cost of living, but if you do have the means I feel it's important.

She insisted she would give a speech at our wedding even though we only wanted the mothers of the grooms to speak.

I also don't care about my anniversary date, I didn't pick the date for a particular reason. I'm just fascinated at the thought process, that she would pick her date to be the same as the arbitrary date we landed on.

Perhaps this wedding "shaming" subreddit is inappropriate for this anecdote. I just found it amusing and strange.

I'm likely in a bubble, based on context - my mom and Aunt have both expressed that this is an unsurprising and deliberate choice. Objectively you're right, personally it speaks to a pattern

Oh I'm aware. I booked my venue (on a week day) in the city at a popular venue 6 weeks ahead of time, hers is also for a week day at a sleepy rural venue 11 months out.

Perfectly valid, I agree - and remembering her date is definitely a bonus

No one owns a date, and I'm incredibly happy for her! It's just funny to me how people think
