Every time I hear that news story, I just can't keep from saying out loud "F-ing Moron!!!"
It turns out he's a retired CEO with an extremely generous pension, ...and what he has done is set up a family trust, and this trust will pick worthy charities to donate to.
I still think he's an idiot, ...and his pension will only last until some corporate raider does a hostile takeover, runs the company into the ground, pillages the pension funds, and declares bankruptciy. Hopefully, he'll be dead before that happens.

maybe he's holding back a ten percent admin fee for himself. or like big charities, only 17% of the donations go to the actual needy. that would leave him with about 33 mil.

He didn't found a charity, ...he founded a trust.
It doesn't receive donations from the public. It disperses donations to charities.

Another "Only in Canada" moment has Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford & Council Speaker Francis Nunziata dancing with each other to Bob Marley's "One Love", only moments after being at each other's throat about an apology.
Anyway...one thing is for sure... Rob Ford does love his Reggae! :D
It was nice to see the Mayor and Michael shaking hands and finally making peace, ...but I love the way Michael looked at his hand afterward, as if just shaking hands with the mayor left something slimey on his own hand.
Ok... From the Huffington Post...
Rob Ford's Day At City Hall:
Two Apologies, A Joke About Getting Arrested, And A Dance Break
Alright, let's bring everyone up to speed about what's happening in Canada's biggest city.
On Tuesday morning, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was asked to apologize for suggesting, a day earlier, that members of city council were "corrupt." Though he retracted his remarks, Speaker Frances Nunziata said he needed to formally apologize.
"How about, 'I am so sorry,'" the mayor said sarcastically. "Is that as good as I apologize? Or, 'So sorry?' Which one do you want, Madam Speaker? Like, 'Super, super, super, super, super, super, super sorry? So sorry?'"
A little while later, Ford, who is currently under police investigation, pretended to be led from council chambers in handcuffs.

Incidently, the mayor's partner in crime, (figuratively) Giorgio Mammolitti seen in the above picture, subsequently got tossed out of council chambers. Oh what a circus, Toronto City Hall has become these days
A little while later, Ford apologized to Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale, saying he never meant to imply the journalist was a pedophile during a televised interview with Conrad Black.
Seems Toronto Star reporter wanted an apology from Ford, over his referring to him as a peophile in his interview with another media pariah Lord Conrad Black, who gave up his Canadian citizenship in order to accept the British title of Lord. The former media magnate saw himself raked through the mud by many of the newspapers he used to own
A little while later, Ford danced.
The mayor, Nunziata and a few others busted some moves Tuesday afternoon in what The Globe and Mail called a holiday dance break.
Around the same time, Dale confirmed that Ford's apology didn't go far enough because the mayor didn't retract anything and instead "blamed the media for its reasonable interpretation" of his remarks.
"His statement today didn't come close. I'm proceeding with a defamation lawsuit," Dale wrote on Twitter.
A little while later, Postmedia columnist Andrew Coyne tweeted the following:
"The mayor is a nine-year old. A 300-pound, crack-smoking, gangster-hanging, smut-talking, compulsive-lying, staff-bullying, nine- year old."
"It's like the plot of Big crossed with Scarface."

That is the optimistic approach.
Could you imagine how much he'd be kicking himself if that were to happen?
My friend's father retired at 53. He was an executive for Kodak, a company that had the highest paying dividend on the Nasdaq. 33 years later, Kodak was filing for bankruptcy, and he lost half his pension at the age of 86 (the half he didn't diversify out of Kodak) Just ask any Detroit city worker what his pension is worth today, vs. what it was worth last year. The citizens of Poland are about to understand what is means to take a gov swap on their private pension funds, ...something Americans are about to learn as soon as the USA nationalizes all the pensions, IRA's, and 401K's. Oh don't even get me started! >:(

Best of luck to all you Manitobans out there, ...especially Winnepeggers.
It's bad enough you're having to endure minus 38 degree temperatures, ...but the recent multiple water main breaks that saw your city flooded with water cannot be fun, ...especially when it freezes your vehicles in place.
Now I hear with the windchill you're facing minus 55 degree temps. and no running water. Keep your chins up.
We're Canadians! We are a hearty lot, ...i hear spring will be here in about 3 months. :-\

Yesterday in our nation's capital, it was colder than the South Pole,
Infact 1/2 of Canada was colder than the South Pole,
...and Winnepeg Manitoba earned the distinction of being colder than the surface of Mars! :o
Heads up to anyone in Boston ...especially Body88 if he's still around. This cold is headed your way!

Hardly a surprise since it is "summer" on the South Pole.

And despite it being summer, ...researchers in the Antarctic got frozen in place in their boat and had to be rescued. Water that freezes your boat in place can hardly be considered "summer weather" by any stretch of the imagination.

I am single without children by choice, ...and 1980 was Tonya.
What is your obsession with me? Do I remind you of all the girls who have rejected you in the past,
...who reject you in the present, ...and most likely will reject you in the future?
Or is there something about me that reminds you of something you detest in yourself?

Only in Canada
The CRTC (Canada's equivalent to the FCC) those diligent watchdogs and hard nosed vigilant(e) protectors of Culture across Canadian airwaves are screaming again, and this time, it's the porn channels that have got them all hot & bothered. They want to see some changes, ...and FAST!
Those uncompromising defenders of all things Canadian... {whisper}: ok, uncompromising defenders of all things 35% Canadian are bemoaning the lack of 'can con' Before you start picturing some super duper condom that protects adults from the moral & physical consequences of their vices, or some weird, kinky, convoluted sexual position from the Kama Sutra that only the most limber of gymnasts could master, it seems the various porn channels aren't pumping out enough "Canadian Content." ...and they think the closed captioning for the hearing impaired quite frankly... SUCKS!
Looks like Chatsworth is just going to have to rectify this somehow. It's not yet known if showing more beaver closeups, or perhaps having the performers eat copious amounts of beaver tail will satisfy the CRTC's desires for now, ...after all they are our national animal, and considered quite the delicacy. :P
PS: All naughty puns intended. :D

Only in Canada
What do you do when a complete stranger reeking of alcohol pulls up to your door and demands a room for the night? Well in Canada, ...you give it to him. An alleged drunk driver pulled up to a Police station on Rutherford Rd. in Vaughn and belligerently demanded a room for the night. After blowing twice the legal limit, he was accommodated by an overnight stay in the station's holding cell. :D
At least he didn't hurt anyone. :)

Sooooo... they said it was officially spring, and we've just had our first full day of it...

Ummm, ...I thought when you said you were blue, that you were talking about your mood, ...not your balls. ;D
btw, can you watch how you quote things. Wouldn't want to be giving the impression that I'm posting nudies. :D

Women and their 'logic' ;D The donkey (thought it was a pony) looks depressed in that winter landscape. Snow makes me happy like a young boy, we have only 2-3 weeks of snow here, some years nothing :-\

Theres a physiological explanation why women have more problems with low temperatures ;)
If I was living in Canada, I might change my opinion.

Nothing special.
1. Less blood flow to the body ends due their different fat distribution.
2. Their menstrual cycle.
3. Their temperature decreases faster during night time.

¸.•*¨*•.♪♫♫♪ Ain't No Party Like A Brampton Party.♪♫•*¨
♪♫•*¨*•.♪♫♪♫*•.¸'Cause A Brampton Party is INSANE!!! ♪♫¸.•♫
Such is the mantra of every teen / young adult party in this city, ...but over the weekend, one kid cemented it!
So a kid in my neighbourhood organized a house party that he promoted on social media. Lots of people showed up... Lotssss... as in over 2,000!!! ...the house was being renovated, so it wasn't safe to be in to begin with, but with 2000+ people? What could go wrong?
Yep... you guessed it... lots of damage... to the tune of over $70,000 in damages. They were jammed in like sardines... to such an extent that people were breaking windows just to get out. Stair railings broke etc., etc.
It took over 60 police units including tactical units, and K-9's, forensics & road safety to clear out the party. lol.
The cops saw the invites over social media and warned his Mom ahead of time that the party could get out of hand, but her response was "That's ok, I told him he could have a few friends over" ROTFLOL
The house is now trashed! We'll be talking about this one for awhile. Canice... You done f**ked up man!!! ;D
-
2,000 people inside the house, another 1,000 people waiting in line to get in.
...that's not including those sitting in the party bus who came from Etobicoke (Mayor Rob Ford's neighbourhood)

What the fuck are you talking about??? I've never had an abortion.
Just because I believe in a woman's right to choose, doesn't mean I've ever had an abortion.
Grow a brain, ...and while you're at it, ...Get a life!!!
