Communal toilets, change rooms resented by many women

by  • 

There’s a long and lively Facebook discussion thread which continues Sunday about communal washrooms and change rooms. They have private rooms for removing a swimming suit and getting dressed. But these are accessed from an all sexes space where, as many women complain, men can walk in and see a woman in her swimwear. Several comments say such communal change rooms will be installed at the new Davisville Community Hub next door to Davisville Public School.

Scare me Daddy with a Halloween rhyme on Belsize Drive

Scary things happen
Mr and Mrs Newlywed

Here again is the annual Belsize Drive Halloween display that comes with more than just a nod to our fascination, young and old, with scary things. And once again there’s a rhyming account of the evil things that can happen to good people. Scare me, Daddy.

Mr and Mrs Newlywed
Picked up their clubs
At the Marshall’s shed
Giddy on their honeymoon
…12 holes later death would loom
The Marshall warned a storm was near
But busy kissing, they did not hear
On the 13th green she grabbed the pin
As the skies turn dark
And the storm rolled in
The lightning forked and with a CRACK!
Both were killed on their favourite track
But if by chance you play at dawn
You’ll hear them walking on the lawn
They may be ghosts but as golfer do
Just step aside and they’ll play through

Let the ghosts play through

Mayor under fire, Marc Garneau is a man and vlog traveller

by  • 

Mayor Tory is firing back against criticism that he shouldn’t be trying to mediate the strange framily feud at Rogers Communications.

Was Marc Garneau dropped because he’s a man?

Marc Garneau

An indignant voter in Marc Garneau’s riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grace-Westmount says the only apparent reason for dropping Marc Garneau from the cabinet is because he’s a man. Oh well, sure, he ran against Mr. Trudeau for the Liberal leadership in 2012 too.

Vlogger visits every country in the world (but one)

Drew Binsky is said to have visited every country in the world except one. Somehow, we find that less amazing than his vlog audience of eight million fans. Seasoned travellers will tell you however that it isn’t so much the number of countries one visits as the time spent there.
