The only real argument I can see for Fords argument is that the choice at the LCBO sucks, even in the “big” stores. It’s mostly “canoe” beers and cheap spirits when I go in looking for decent single malts.

Then again, that could easily be managed with a policy and whatever happens, I don’t want Galen f*cking Weston taking over any more retail in this country.

Ironically, that’s exactly how this post started…

What next? A flight for whites-only as you don’t want to sit next to someone who doesn’t look like you?

I had hoped someone would give me this quote…

I think it’s more technically correct as “of whom are you afraid” as you should not end a sentence with a preposition.

Then again, I’m a software engineer so perhaps not.

Clearly, you don’t read the Sun…

it’s something of an in-joke as one of my friends observed that very spelling of the word in said publication.

I love reading the “news” in the Star. The only paper to cater to people dummer than The Sun

The headline suggests the Police are looking for comped accounts…

I don’t know what the hate is unless you are trying to store time as a String property. There a special place in hell for all developers who do this.

IMHO, all you really need to know is an Epoch time stamp and whether it’s localized to the viewer or the creator… Not that complex. The problem with time zones is that politicians keep changing them

Honestly, I’d rather give the creator of NULL a slap.

Do they really think this will reduce oil consumption the way banning tobacco ads reduced smoking?
