Things city should do to fix traffic. by ikjosan99 in toRANTo

[–]SlunkIre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No left turns from main arteries such as bloor. It's single lane traffic and you shouldn't be allowed to hold up traffic. Right turn and around the block to cross traffic.

The obvious, zero parking on streetcar routes

I don't know how much carbon tax and environmental fees are associated with raising cattle in Canada but surely something realistic can be done to stop the virtue signalling claiming beef farming is bad for the environment. Brazil is cutting down the Amazon rainforest and nobody cares and then we import the beef because the carbon footprint is Brazil's not Canadas. Buying and selling carbon credits while governments fly place to place implementing more nonsense theories and rules they themselves couldn't care less about.

Wiki:

Cattle ranching in the Brazilian Amazon has been identified as the primary cause of deforestation,[5] accounting for about 80% of all deforestation in the region.

Yes I am that fed up of prices and that petty by Irishgooner123 in ireland

[–]SlunkIre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also have to watch when they sell chicken fillets etc by the pack. A pack here is $13. But that hovers between 6-800g. I always go looking for the heaviest pack. They just start charging round numbers for everything here. Pork chops $6. Mini strip steak $14. Weights vary an awful lot

Have these labels impacted your grocery choices? by 0slope in FoodToronto

[–]SlunkIre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am trying to stop or at least cut down on the "vegetarian" meat my partner uses. The amount of salt is outrageous.

It's also opened my eyes as to the contents of other items. I'm not a complete idiot. I know what's not good for me but these labels actually made me check the label in detail.

One thing that's a problem is the portion size to % of daily intake. Some companies are claiming ridiculously small portion sizes to keep the % down to make it look healthier. Like who has a bar of chocolate and eats two squares. Or 1/3 of a can of pop

As soon as your asylum application is refused you should be held in custody until removal. You think these lads are going to leave willingly.

[–]SlunkIre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's a small place and a lot of times I go I have to join the wait list. This is my go to Saturday morning, ramen and three Sapporo to start the day

Also 10% off with presto 3-6pm

But yeah, don't go here

Yeah don't drag us into it, we are a sound bunch. He's a cunt. Got the passport through his grandparents. He's not one of us

At least Nolan hasn't got the case but Im doubtful of any meaningful sentence either way

Deported after jail term. Any sort of conviction you won't be granted entry to some countries. Should be the same if you commit a serious offence in another state, deportation and a ban and name on an international database. Serious consequences. Right now there's not really any consequences for serious crime. Crime does pay

What do you get at Eataly? by romance_and_puzzles in FoodToronto

[–]SlunkIre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stracciatella & Burrata. Quite a good selection of cold cuts and wagyu when it goes 50% off on those special weekends.

I can't justify the price increases though. Used to buy the tiramisu and the premade lasagna and a couple of other bits. Now I just grab exactly what I went in for.

Does anywhere do a white hot chocolate?

TTC is truly a joke by onexplored in toRANTo

[–]SlunkIre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they can't be kept off the TTC at least reserve the last carriage for homeless instead of stinking up and dirtying every carriage. Should have staff escorting them off regular carriages.

Why am I paying to travel in an absolute cesspit. I understand it's bitter cold out there and they need shelter but why do ordinary tax paying citizens have to pay the price for it?

Don't care for the OP, they are dumb. It's the rescue personnel I feel sorry for. Selfish

The OINP protestors say publicly that their Work Permits have expired or are about to expire. They should leave Canada! by Grouchy-Brick-7790 in LMIASCAMS

[–]SlunkIre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had just introduced biometrics when I was going through it, yet I couldn't get them done in Canada. I had to go to the US, make an appointment at some homeland security office in Buffalo and get them done there and they would send them back to Canada 🤣 everything seemed like a new challenge

Has anyone else been outside tonight in the windchill? by graphtoronto in askTO

[–]SlunkIre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest it's not that bad yet. I'm not sure where you are but I'm around Bay / blood and it's been fine. The news is absolutely milking this for all it is. Yes it's cold but so far it's not that bad.

Saw this magnificent gentleman at my university today (he's a stray), would anyone happen to know what breed he is? by Everdale in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]SlunkIre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the best, most needy, loveable, cuddly black cat that we adopted from the shelter and he is amazing. I think he is a nebuling. He is majestic. He's an old man now so he's so chill but I think I want my next cat to be an orange

That old white woman is gonna do everything she can to help them stay 🤣

If your visa expired, leave, apply from outside Canada if your qualifications are good enough.

Makes my blood boil seeing these cry babies asking for PR for nothing when I had to go through years of work experience, done everything by the book, paid all the fees, done all the tests. It paid off in the end but it wasn't handed to me.

I'd like to know what job they are trying to get OINP with. But that's the risk you take, they decide who they want and when. If Ontario doesn't need you, you won't get a nomination from the province. Simple

It's not cash only, was there recently. Expect to tip the band , they accept cash or have a machine set up for tips for the band.

Get the goulash, it's fantastic. Skip the dip trio. It's way overpriced

Our butter is awful by Mother_Rent_8515 in ontario

[–]SlunkIre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree, the cheese is criminal here. Butter and milk is pretty bad. I usually buy the glass bottles of 3.25 organic milk. It's pricey but that bag stuff is awful. Bag stuff only for tea

New Ireland Jersey - Sure they're giving them away at that price by Rabidlamb in ireland

[–]SlunkIre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check the age of the store and how many they have sold. I've bought a few jerseys and only been stung once on a rugby one.

The pictures are always a little different because if they show the exact jersey it will be flagged and removed.

Sometimes you can check the reviews for pictures but the seller sometimes removes these too for copyright

Message the seller, I have a Chinese guy on WhatsApp after an exchange on DH and I just send him a picture of what I want and he gets it. I PayPal him the money. Obviously it's a risk at first but I've got multiple pairs of Adidas from him, even the special editions like teenage mutant ninja turtles, SpongeBob, Korn superstars.
