Things that annoy Canadians

When I saw this result from a very recent Angus Reid survey, I thought of the protest posted here in our very own blog. How would you vote as a GO transit user ?

GO Train Drivers wanted !

We've just discovered that Bombardier is hiring GO Train drivers (actually they're called operators). Here's the video :

Ping Pong Cannon

A previous post showed an elastic band gun worthy of Rambo, The Terminator or Sigourney Weaver (Aliens). Not so dramatic but quite obviously great fun, this is a 5 minute build for sure. Enjoy !

One less washroom in Toronto

This is not an April Fool's joke. For many months, the afternoon GO train riders have been watching a "Johnny on the Spot", mobile toilet, "bog sled" or porta potty that has progressively been tilting further and further towards the precipice of a building lot excavation. We can now report as of the 1st of April that it has finally tumbled into the hole and is lying on its side. Whoever had 1st April 2008 in the pool had the right poop. So to speak.
