The beer is good. Demos are on another level.

But there are the laws against wearing hijabs and turbans. . . . and all the other racism.

somebody was asking about tow trucks in USA. Meanwhile in Canada.

Alexander Vinogradsky's Facebook posts share puns, poke fun at Gen Z and show off a trip to Tokyo Disneyland last year. In others, he is smiling or highlighting damaged cars in need of a tow.

But beneath the cheerful faces and overseas vacations, a constant menace lingered in Vinogradsky's life: as a kingpin in the Toronto area's tow truck underworld, he was a marked man.

Before he was gunned down March 28 outside a north-end Toronto plaza, he owned Paramount Towing, one of four outfits allegedly locked in a deadly turf war that prompted a major police crackdown in 2019 and 2020. The investigation prompted dozens of arrests — Vinogradsky's included.

I now added quote marks to the title in case it wasn't clear that I am not saying this. Not certain if you or anybody was confused by that.

To tell the truth I didn't read the whole article. It was too annoying. I hate everyone involved too much. Thanks for putting in the work.

Living in a big house with several long term friends. I hope your dream comes true.

If you are in Ontario maybe you can get on co op housing lists for large units. In 20 years your names might come up.

Certainly the ones who oppose it are wealthy elitists.

On the other hand, everything I have ever heard about this idea of "filling in" seems like homeowners who want to rent out their alley without having to conform new-built residences to code so they can maximize $$$$$.

Do other cities have this "movement"?
