well you could buy a discount alumni membership to use the gum

yeah!!!!!!!! more debt for the city!!!!! on the plus side, i'll hopefully have escaped Toronto by 2015. the only other positive i think is the fact that Miller won't be around to screw it up.

[andrec2g]

Oh no, many more new taxes will be added upon torontonian before the game

[Squiggles]

Now I really do hope the legends are true and the world is ending in 2012 so I won't have to see the mess they make of this one.


On a side note: What the hell are the Pan Am games? Does anybody watch them or care?

[Paolo]

congratz toronto for winning the Panama games bid! GO Toronto!

[Hairball]

Awesome, it's nice to see that we get some semi-big event for once. Hopefully this improves a lot of the crumbling infrastructure in the city.

[ReDmAn]

why would they do this? we're all dead after 2012 anyway

PPl @ UofT need a membership to use gum

Yep, the money's going towards financing the Pan Am games.

obviously he meant gym. lol.

i'll have graduated from UTSC by then, but the pictures of the facilities look really nice.. if you can actually go back as an alumni and get a gym membership i would definitely consider getting one.

I'm REALLY curious how this is going to play out. Toronto pretty much needs to start it's road to recovery tomorrow to be ready by 2015. Otherwise it's going to be a big mess.

+1 to being the hell out of here by then.

[Hairball]

I'm just going over the bid book right now, it's kind of remarkable how pretty much every place in the GTA will get an event or two.

Even at Centennial Community Centre across from Markville Mall in Markham!

won't happen, miller is still in charge. funny how both miller and mcguinty will be out of office by 2015 and both were loud supporters of the bid. why wouldn't they be, it'll be "someone else's problem".
