Let’s play spot the double parked asshole. This woman had illegally parked so that she and her daughter could run into the Second Cup at 1984E Queen Street East to get a coffee. Their ignorance caused this street car to be blocked for at least seven minutes. I timed it. Oh yeah, and the [...]

Seven months later and I have finally gotten around to writing on this site again. Far too long. My beef this week? Simple. The city of Toronto has decided to apply another tax against the citizenry.
