Not at all. Nice poll! I see the mayor of Toronto (aka ARbound) is in a 12 step program.

lol. He called me one afternoon and I answered my (former) iPhone suspiciously as it was a blocked number.

Me: Hello?

Him: ROB FORD, MAYOR OF TORONTO

Me: ummm, ok...

He may have been high on crack then, but for a city of 2 and a half million people and even for people who hated his
politics, character and never voted for him he really did reach out to constituents, I won't take that away from him.

(The conversation was underwhelming, no mention of crack, vodka, bumbaclot or any other of the mayor's favorite
things were spoken about).

dangling prepositions aside (grammar nazis!!) I have been here 2.5 years and have to say it's working fine for me. I am happy in my relationship and we like it here; having a good community is I'm sure what makes all the difference. Otherwise it's just another big city with nice weather and lots of troubles.
