I do have a good friend who lives in North Perth, and works near Waterloo. I also have an uncle in Guelph.
I had been looking for work in the area, but my wife got a full time job in Toronto, so....

That's three this year. Plus the huge increase in gun violence in Toronto.... this country's stressing me out this year, man.[DOUBLEPOST=1346368284][/DOUBLEPOST]Wasn't Chad Sexington supposed to visit Toronto this summer? I feel like we'd actually organize the meetup we keep talking about if that happens. And Vrii will be leaving the GTA for Vancouver soon.

Dude, that's soon.
checkeredhat My best friend went to Yale for school and I kind of waffled on saving up to visit him vs. vacation in TO. I reeeeally want to visit your city but obviously I'm out of summer to do so.

Couldn't decide whether to post this here or in Awesome Videos. Decided here. As you know, Zellers is going the way of Eatons, as most of their stores are closing and being reopened as Targets.
At least they have a sense of humour about their impending doom:

No biggie, Tim the Enchanter just lives here.
EDIT: Also I am adding Great Balls of Fire as a song that represents my city, I am just to lazy to necro that thread.
I was just pointing out that CNN managed to spell it wrong three times, in two different ways ("Winnpieg" and "Winnepeg") on the same screen
...How the hell does that happen? They don't even look the same!

I am unreasonably happy about this.

The Halifax explosion one is probably the best one. I always liked the Sam Steele one too. Sam Steele was a badass.
The Avro Arrow one was pieced together with scenes from the made for TV movie "The Arrow", which is actually a pretty decent docu-drama. I definitely recommend it.

I actually knew the guy who built (and flew) the model plane used for the in-air shots of the Arrow for that movie. The guy owned one of the hobby shops in Calgary where I lived at the time, and I flew model airplanes at the time, and it's a fairly small community, so... it was kinda cool. I actually got to see some of the "spare" jigs and such (his workshop was right behind the store, he lived in the building too) because he had to make more than one for the movie. It was also kinda cool hearing about how he had to control it from a helicopter, because they needed it flying high enough for some of the shots, whereas usually with models you just control from the ground. Cool stories from the guy.
