Considering I tell Americans I'm from Toronto I could see why Waterloo would tell Amazon that

So yeah, back to the thing I wanted to talk about before all the drama: the Amazon HQ2 proposal. Holy shit, Toronto's bid is super strong, and I honestly am psyching myself up that we may actually get it, and even if we don't, that doc should just be our ad for everything: attract businesses, sporting events, etc.
Where can I read these bids? Looks like most cities are promising very similar things though I won't lie Toronto/the GTA is probably top 5.
I just don't want Toronto to become even more expensive if Amazon comes here.

Page 50 and on is absolutely nuts. It's just potential after potential.
So the good thing about it, realistically, is that of all the options and sites, core Toronto is probably the worse choice of the lot. Realistically, the Vaughan, markham, Mississauga and Brampton are the best bet, so it in theory, won't drag up those prices.
Err.. is it? There are no articles I've come across that portray Toronto as a frontrunner, and it seems many publications are dismissing it based on lack of subsidies alone.
Damn that looks good. I cringe to think of how much that proposal cost, though.
Yo. Same. But in my case its due to the cat outdoing her own scent eating litter.
Didnt Tory withhold monetary or tax related incentives in the bid? Meanwhile US cities are throw everything their kids will one day owe to get Amazons attention
that's a heck of a seat!
I went to a Leaf game last week. They won!
Haven't tried that one in particular, but the number of awesome noodle places popping up has been a blessing and a curse
I love me some noodles, but it is going to kill me
White? What white?
You're right actually, fuck winter

Most articles are from US based sites who downplay the possibilities of outside US and the potential of both Canada and Mexico.
I forgot who it was but one even managed to list that Toronto had no universities.
Ma man.
For the OP mentioning the City Pass thing. Reminded me that this summer I have found a love for the Toronto Library. Especially if you live near a good one like I do. With a Toronto library card you can borrow a pass to enter places like the ROM, Science Centre, Toronto Zoo, Bata Shoe Museum (lol shoe museum) etc all for FREE! Passes are limited but such a great little program we have access too. Toronto Library do an amazing job for the city.
That's great to hear! Have you tried TPL's digital portals yet? It'll sound like an infomercial but TPL has streaming video/music (honestly a so-so collection with a viewege cap), Ebooks/Emagazines. Access to Lynda.com & great courses if you're into self learning. All with your library card membership for free.
Whoa, that looks amazing. Is it a chain? Seems like it would do well downtown.
From my understanding, the owners of Bamyan Kabab had a falling out years ago, and the guy's bro in law decided to open up his own place in Sauga. Watan is legit amazing, easily the best Afghani food I've had. Bamyan and another place called Pamier kabab (which has a location downtown) are also really good too though.
Maaan there are so many of these Afghan places now, it's nuts. Someone recommended a Kandahar Kabab to me yesterday, so I got that for dinner. It was a bit less expensive than Bamiyan (which is my usual haunt), but not quite as good imo.
Kandahar Kabab is on Dixie right? I've never been but Royal Jasmine and BBQ Tonite are in that same plaza. Both are EXTREMELY good, especially BBQ Tonite
Someone might have a hostage inside a dispensary on King St, ETF is there and King is closed from Peter to Spadina.........it's live on CP24
I was on #teamwinter, but this summer was pretty awesome and I made the switch to #teamwarm
Reasons for the switch. Reason the first, can do a lot more activities outside. Reason the second, you are not cold. Reason the third, if you happen to have your car die in the middle of a storm, you will not freeze to death. Reason the fourth, when a TTC driver inevitably closes the door in your face despite him seeing you running for the bus, it is not big deal to wait because it is summer and you can just enjoy the weather. If that were to happen in winter, I guess your only hope is to find a tauntaun that you kill to stay warm.

Scary stuff. My wife works close by.
Goddamn, hope everyone makes it out unscathed
Not sure where the Sauga location is, I went to the one in Scarberia. I've been to BBQ Tonite before, it's a Pakistani place, right? Really enjoyed it.
I'll check out Pamier. I really gotta expand my kebab game beyond Lebanon Express, Ghazale, and Alibaba.
As an aside, has anyone been to Otto's Berlin Doner in Kensington? Any good?
Scary stuff. My wife works close by.
False alarm. Just heard the conference. No one with gun found.

Speaking of kababs, one thing that I really like is bihari beef kabab, and seems like hardly anyone makes it anymore. There's one place I know of in Sauga called Shamiana (Brittania / Mavis), and it's pretty good, albeit a bit on the pricey side, but I'm looking for other options! Particularly in the east end...
Pamier's pretty great!
Dude...how did you go to BBQ tonite and not get the bihari kabab? It is THE best thing I've eaten. Go ASAP and thank me later
Lol I don't think I've actually been there before. I just had takeout from them that someone else picked up. If I knew they served bihari I would've been all over it!
