Haha I don't disagree hence why I'd take advantage of having my ideal lifestyle subsidized by others 
Also a great method of getting back at hipsters in my own passive aggressive way

To be fair polak, the garbage is full of crap that can't fit with the rest of the crap in the undeveloped basement, so the car is being worked on in the driveway. If we're generalizing.

Chalk up another benefit of suburban living... It enables hoarding

Can you get through more than two days without reminding everyone that you think that the inner city subsidizes the suburbs? You sound like fricken Rainman with his ten minutes to wapner with your subsidizing obsession. Go run for mayor or something if you're that obsessed.

Dammit, Seb got me all sidetracked. I meant to post that Jill Belland is a babe. If she was still the host of BT, I'd still turn on the TV in the morning.

The mayor and I have similar positions on this. If I were to run, it would be counter-productive, because of first-past-the-post. We really need electoral reform!

I should certainly rank higher than Mayor Nenshi on the Sexiest Calgarian list.

If only there was a suburban times so I could indulge in articles such as:
How to diffuse the situation when someone cuts in front of you in the line going out the door at the Swiss Chalet
New trends in earth tones for your stucco in 2013
Parking tips when you plan to drive downtown, get out, walk over the peace bridge, have someone take your picture on the bridge, walk back the other way over the bridge, back to your car, then drive back to the burbs.

Man CP should really just JIHAD the FFWD poll next year. Pick some little inconsequential business, or hell any/all restaurants at the airport and stuff the heck outta the ballot box.
Best Bar:
Cheers - YYC Airport
Best Coffee House:
Tim Hortons - YYC Airport
Best Sushi:
Edo - YYC Airport
And so on, just to see some dang variety in this poll one year.
Don't get me wrong, The Ship & Anchor IS the best pub in Calgary, but I don't need a reader poll to remind me of that ever year.

Agreed, I don't think I've ever been to a less fun bar than the #### & anchor
