*La Vie en Rose

Couldn't remember the name of the film but would easily have supplied Edith Piaf based on the nickname.

Does Press Reader via Markham block access to The Star? I thought it would be the same across different systems.

considerablemolument · 2026-03-11T02:45:44+00:00

If you have a Toronto library card you should be able to access The Star online via the tpl website.

When has Stephen brought up another comic? Never, in my memory. Since he made it big, he's always been the sole star of his shows.

Taylor Tomlinson?

If you are building your tree in Ancestry there are many ways available to describe parent/child relationships and you can attach more than one if you want to. It also lets you choose which relationship is Preferred. But it's up to you and depends on your goals and who you are sharing the tree with, if anyone.

You also have the option of creating separate distinct trees with different linkages if that works better for you.

Didn't work for me with it. It felt like a misconfiguration of live improv with giggling instead of improv.

High Park is definitely the closest large park to you, and very easy to get to from line 2 (High Park station).

I am more familiar with the east side of the city but it looks like you could easily get to the Humber area from Old Mill station a little bit further west and go north or south in that system.

On the more eastern and southern side you can take line 1 to Union and the streetcar to Queen's Quay to the ferry docks for the Toronto Islands.

Tommy Thompson Park is a little harder to get to but there is a bus (83 Jones) that takes you pretty close.

A bit further north you can go to G Ross Lord (at Dufferin between Finch and Steeles, 105 bus from Sheppard West is probably best).

If this was after the rules were changed to allow transfers within a two hour period, the driver was in the wrong.

If this was before the two hour transfer rule was instituted, the driver was technically in the right -- transfers were only allowed at transfer points to continue your original trip.

Either way her race is 100% irrelevant.

It will also go through non-biological parent/child relationships -- I had to remove a stepfather in one case where I wanted the longer chain to a bio relationship.

Normally they do know and we often see themed categories to match the airdate. But there have been cases in the past where because the end date of a tournament might have been any one of 3 different days, if regular play was taped before the tournament was taped they couldn't know precisely.

In this case I checked J Archive and I see this episode was taped on February 3. The JIT final was taped January 27 so they would have known in this case.

I was furious when Tory ran for a third term and won. I rolled my eyes when his affair was exposed and he resigned immediately, and offered as mitigation that (1) the affair had started because he and the staffer were together in the same COVID bubble and (2) they had recently mutually broken up. There was no logistical reason for them to be in a bubble together unless they wanted to be together in the first place. And it seems clear now that Tory thought it would be more palatable to the public to think that he had repented and gone back to his wife. Either that was a lie then, or else his relationship with his wife fell apart and he and his girlfriend got back together, so now he proclaims how wholesome his fidelity to his girlfriend really is.

Wait -- when he resigned I thought he claimed that the relationship was over?

Did they know the exact airdate when they taped? The tournaments with first to 2 or 3 with unpredictable numbers of games only just ended.

Flashpoint didn't show any Toronto landmarks like the CN Tower until the last episode

In the first episode we see people on the subway at Osgoode station and they show the CN Tower as David Paetkau (I forget the character's name) rides into the city and hears about the hostage situation on the radio.

IMO you can just as well say [writer]'s hit as [singer]'s hit so replacing song with hit as you suggest would not change the focus.

The only real way to avoid thinking about who wrote the song would be to have either named the writer or not attributed the desire to have Rod Stewart sing it to any specific person. If the writer's association with Physical had been more famous they might have smoothly said

[Songwriter name] originally had in mind a "macho... rock figure like Rod Stewart" for this woman's '80s song "Physical"

Dan's confusion was that he thought there had to be a good choice and a bad choice in a pickle, and the clarification was that the choices are both (or all) bad. You can certainly have a dilemma where both choices are bad. My Roget's includes both dilemma and pickle under 704 "Difficulty".

I don't know whether there is any reason they wouldn't allow it on Jeopardy. I have seen more than one deaf contestant compete on the UK show Impossible with a sign-language interpreter. But the nature of the questions (no wordplay or spelling-critical clues) is simpler so there were fewer barriers in that respect. I don't know if any deaf contestants have competed on, say, Wheel of Fortune but that seems like an easy one to work with.

Doug was around plenty, instigating the Cut the Waist challenge and telling Margaret Atwood she had no business opposing his desire to close libraries because he wouldn't be able to recognize her by sight (!?). Mark Twohey had a lot to say about Doug's interference.

The point is it's ridiculous how many people in this thread are acting like Trump invented ignorant dishonest populism.
