Zach6668 513 Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 and I assume your firm will be in the running Hope so. We did the TMP for York Region a year or two ago. This will be the first proposal that I've done a considerable amount of the work on myself, so fingers crossed. (We won't actually know until the end of May!) Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Is it just me or is duct cleaning telemarketing calls getting out of hand in this city? Speaking of unsolicited calls... I just got one from the PCPO asking if I'd vote for Doug Ford if the election were held today. You'll never guess my response. (It's the first pre-election poll I can remember being a part of.)

Fenxis 99 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I just got one from the PCPO asking if I'd vote for Doug Ford if the election were held today. You'll never guess my response. Pretty much every election I want to vote "none of the above" but boy howdy the next one is a brutal choice -- albeit with Ford in charge of Conservatives, let's just say it's changed my likely vote away from them.

serge 904 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 wtf happened..Some maniac plowed down pedestrians on Yonge Street? Hope everyone is safe Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Everyone ok? Can we get a check in? 9 dead, 16 more injured. I'm only piecing it together from Twitter, but sounds like he did it all on purpose. Drove down the sidewalk for quite a ridiculous distance. Sounds like it went from just south of Finch all the way to Mel Lastman Square. ****ing insane. I'm in shock right now. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Def on purpose, then tried to get himself shot by police. Video out there of him pointing something dark at officer, and making gestures of pulling gun from pants. Its surreal, just horrific. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’ve been pretty numb since I heard as that was an area that is very familiar to me. Used to live there for many years and work in an office nearby. I pray for the families of the victims. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Numb is a good way describe it. Just scrolling aimlessly through twitter reading update after update, temporarily distracting myself with work, before I get drawn back in. So terrible. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 On that topic. I don't know who this is, but was RTed into my feed. Christine Estima Verified account @christineestima 14m 14 minutes ago Before far-right Islamaphobes slide into my mentions: 1. Minassian is an Armenian name 2. Armenia is not in the Middle East 3. 95% of Armenians are Christian 4.

Zach6668 513 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Also, apparently some guy in Richmond Hill named Alex (note the X) Minassian has been getting harassed since they published the name. He's the first result on Facebook. People are the ****ing worst. The guy who did this, and the internet mob idiots. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Definetely Armenian.. Apparently he was researching killing in California and was known to police. 25 year old student at Seneca College Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I pray that this guy isnt tied to any extremist Armenian group with the genocide commemaration day tomorrow April 24..Also there was a heavily publicized political struggle in Armenia that just concluded . Some reports say mental illness is an issue... Regardless of what comes out, hope he sees a lot of dark days in jail. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’m pretty sure mental illness has to be an issue to commit an act like this. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I was working around Yonge and Lawrence today. Lots of sirens heading North and took a long time to drive home, traffic everywhere really bad with all the street closures. There's video of the officer making the arrest, he really did a great job. We'll find out a lot more about the murderer over the next number of days. Just so senseless and sad. My Step Daughter's boyfriend lives in a condo on Yonge between Finch and Sheppard right in the path. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Making plans for next week, I just realized that on Wednesday April 25th, we may have: Game 7, Leafs at Bruins Game 5, Wizards at Raptors Game 2 of 2nd leg of Concacaf Champions League, TFC at Guadalajara oh and Jays home to the Red Sox Holy crap!
