Right. Toronto Emergency Services regularly hold "career expos" for "talent acquisition" at shopping malls. I see them at Yorkdale ( named highest-performing Canadian shopping centre and fourth in North America ) from time to time.

I'm in a bowling league, and a darts league with my wife. It's fun. But , this how I feel some nights.

Or Emergency Services, who , will always , get sent from one place to the next in a single 12-hour + shift . During SARS , 436, myself included, of Toronto's 850 paramedics were put on Working Quarantine.

A lot of taxi drivers inform me - without my asking - they are doctors or engineers.

Funny thing is , I try to be polite and friendly , as always, but just care less about the approval of others than I used to when I was working. On the other hand , I enjoy our pensioner luncheons and coffee klatschs. I didn't really care for some of those guys back then. But, today, I love...

Age aside for just a moment , I think it's fair - hope our readers do as well - that Veterans Service Card holders ride free on Brampton and Mississauga Transit, all GO trains and buses , UP Express and a 25% discount on VIA Rail. 12070 Perhaps other Transit agencies as well. 24 / 7 / 365

We have a 109 year old member of the so-called "Greatest Generation" in our pension plan. If he is reading these 29 pages , I can imagine him crying all the way to the bank. 😀
