Hi Jason,

I enjoyed your story the other morning on Matt Galloway’s show on the health hazards of commuting in Toronto. If you haven’t already heard of GreenOwl Mobile’s TrafficAlert smartphone app, you can read about it here: http://bit.ly/vlyYsk. Our goal is to try an reduce some of the stress of commuting by giving users voiced and personalized traffic reports on their route. If you drive to work, you should check it out.

Regards,

Mark

I remember that store window so well…I’ve been trying to find a photograph of it on the internet for years…

I too went downtown on a class trip and we were all so mesmerized by the Simpsons Cabbage Patch display…

it was truly a magical time of my life…

thanks for sharing your story…

Sharing luggage makes so much sense since most people only go on vacation once a year. But it will never happen because people only like to talk about sharing, not actually doing it.

Good food for thought Jason.

Nice piece Jason!

I think libraries are (were?) the pinnacle of society at its best when it comes to collective sharing.

My semester exams are over. Though loads of study, assignments, and blah blah is left but I have still nothing to do. I’m bored to tears. TV, movies, music, reading, doing funny things, reading jokes, PC games, getting out of
house..nothing is working.

Listened to this today.

And think you’re pretty much totally wrong.

Especially about cilantro. But about this too. People stand around like morons, blocking the doors, etc for the same reason they stand on both sides of the escalator, walk four abreast on the sidewalk and ride bikes on the sidewalk. Despite its size, this city is still laughably parochial and people just don’t have any big city smarts. It sounded like you’re saying the refusal to move on the TTC is a passive-aggressive response to the poor service. I don’t buy that. It’s just that people here are lazy and oblivious.
