I imagine if the shirt is real the mug might be too. Probably a v niche item though so could be hard to find. Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a lot to get a New Yorker out to New Jersey. I get the same feeling when I have to leave Toronto to go somewhere like Hamilton. I went for the rugby last weekend, what a nightmare trip it is. Stick to downtown stadiums, that is the trend in North America now. Oh come on now, that's gotta be one of the few times everyone else didn't have to go into Toronto for an event. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nightmare is having to travel to toronto from Hamilton in rush hour. There is a GO train that goes almost directly to the stadium. Commuting is a lifestyle choice, a personal preference for a larger residence over convenience. Link to post Share on other sites
Anita Bath 207 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Or maybe a constraint when a blue collar worker with kids could only afford a broom cupboard in Toronto. Glad its a choice for you. Personally Id rather live in Baghdad than Toronto. The people in Baghdad are nice and they dont think the world revolves around them. Remember Toronto (original name York before political correctness kicked in) is the place where the mayor called in the army to shift their snow.....cant have those princesses shifting it themselves like the rest of the country.

It may shock you, but when an event is planned outside of Toronto, the first concern isn't how people from Toronto will get to it it's for the people who aren't in Toronto. Besides, lots of Argos fans made it work today.

RayCee 1,788 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Ottawa are only going into League One. They don't need to be SL or championship standard in year one.

Referring to the ojx attitude....and it was first hand. If it aint in/from/about Toronto it aint worth bothering with. The big city with the small mind. An over generalisation for sure but one shared by many Canadians. Now back to that spot on Yonge Street and snow shifting. Link to post Share on other sites

Not a peep...Perez says he is ready to go but some minor details need to be ironed out at RL HQ. Reading between the lines I think Rimmer is trying to juice them like he has in the past with Toronto...putting everything at risk. Ottawa should be in next year if anyone actually cares about keeping the momentum of the expansion going (which many it seems do not). The bid is strong. NY I'm not so sure about; problematic since the very beginning...Ottawa is by far superior. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
