This is a cool discussion, and everyone's opinions are well considered. I wish I could speak more authoritatively on this topic. I work in this field...sort of...but basically I'm a layman just passing the wrenches to people who really know what they're doing. That said, even tax lawyers and tax acc...

Another best pubs list from the Independent
This time it's country pubs. All in Britain, of course.

Re: The Globe and Mail on beer and food
Of course, you've got to applaud when a major daily gives a full page shout out to dining with beer, but did anyone else feel like this feature would have been more appropriate a decade or so ago? (CRANKINESS.) Not that I don't agree with you, but you sure write some great cranky prose! 8) There ar...

Another poorly informed writer -- who normally writes on wine, and has a limited knowledge of beers -- chimes in at today's Metro. You cannot see it in the online edition, but the picture accompanying this item in the printed edition was the Rickard's bottle. Thank you, Molson/Coors. Presumably the...

Of course, you've got to applaud when a major daily gives a full page shout out to dining with beer, but did anyone else feel like this feature would have been more appropriate a decade or so ago? Ten years ago or more?! He could have done the same article 30 years ago and plumped for a refreshing,...

Just nauseating, even if it was to some extent inevitable. Revival of a previous string that played out just as the takeover was announced. I stand by my assertions: this is one of the most egregious examples of anti-competitive behaviour that I've ever been aware of. At least since E.P. Taylor was ...

I'm drinking water, tea and fresh juices, recovering from injury. I recently learned I should never consume alcohol with ibuprophen (or for that matter with acetominophen or aspirin.) Damages the liver, it does! [/PSA] Is that reaction to mixing medication and beer a personal concern, or should tha...

Watching the Winter Olympics online and enjoying a Westmalle Dubbel. I picked up a handful of dark, winter-y beers from the LCBO's Christmas releases. But -- fatherhood being what it is -- I am only starting on them now. Last year, I had a six pack of the Bières de Boucannier untouched from the midd...

The capital costs of extensions into York region are being paid for by the York Municipalities (Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill) entirely. The Yonge extension has not yet been committed to (and will likely get dragged out a number of years before it happens). The Vaughan extension will also give...

My two cents, or two more links to articles... As regards TTC funding, (I believe that) until 1998, the provincial government covered 50% of the TTC's operating (i.e. day-to-day) costs and 100% of capital (construction and investment in equipment) costs. After 1998 both numbers sank to zero percent....
