903: What's Yours is Mine

[blu]

just too chime in here. Granted I've lived in Vancouver for most of my life and I have spent a considerable amount of time in Toronto. It definitely has it's advantages, the night life some may say is better for example but for me I always get a little anxious knowing that I am far away from an ocean but that's a personal thing I guess. Toronto is heavy on the concrete and not so much with the greenery. Living in Vancouver you get used to tree lined streets and having green grass etc. Toronto is definitely lacking in that department and compared to Vancouver it feels enormous. I feel like Toronto is like Vegas, it's cool to visit, but after 4 days I am done.

With that beign said, I am biased I guess because I love the West Coast and I love Vancouver.

You just described every major city I've ever been to.

Dude, you stiffed waiters on tips because you refused to eat at home. That's an asshole. It's not colored perceptions. You are depriving people of a proper wage. Fuck you.

I take tipping very seriously. I'm very easy to please, but if you don't even make it past the low bar I set I won't tip.

But great service gets amazing tips. I've left a $20 tip on a $20 meal.
The service is as important as the food.

Worse than a garbage-dump because it's full of Torontonians as well.

There's a lot of cool places in Toronto to visit and shop at, but at the end of the day it comes down to the fact that the people there tend to be empty and soulless.
With BC, you have that "out west' attitude - which is just cool, laid-back and party-filled. With the maritimes, you have people who are just "salt of the earth" and the type of people who'd take you in out of the cold if you needed. Quebec - or Montreal where I am - tends to have more of a european sense to it ( without the inherent snootiness ). Ottawa - has Rhian - which is enough to make it a great place.

Yeah, Keith, spend a long time in Canada and you'll realize even without black people, we have an equivalent: our First Nations, or Canadian-Indians. The similarities are staggering - they whine more than they should, especially about hardships they haven't faced in decades, they have their own MONTH, they get massive tax breaks from the Canadian gov't, etc, etc. They even get cash handouts for little to no reason. I have a friend of this race who monthly receives a cheque for a couple hundred dollars. Actually, they have it even easier than black people.

So McNally, with you moving back to canada, what will be the odds that you make any guest appearences on the show besides maybe just call ins?

[McNally]

I plan to be in town for Keith's April 15th shows as long as he keeps doing them, and I'm sure I'll keep podcasting on my own, if you find yourself curious about my various horse-fuckery. Or just swing by Canada and ask around. They know me.
