Mike Myers is from Toronto (from Scarborough, to be exact), and there's even a street named after him there (he also attended high school in Scarborough). The nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards, or the Razzies, were in yesterday, and his film The Love Guru was nominated for seven "Worst..." nominations, including Worst Picture. Just wanted to say it - I like the Razzies, and I like seeing the nominations.<BR/><BR/>In Budapest, M5 will be a commuter train tunnel project.

Sadly although the stations were built for 8 car trains, there have been persistent stories of 8 car train failing to platform correctly. <BR/>As to rush hour surcharges, this is a class equity issue. The majority of rush hour riders have fixed schedules especially the lower wage service workers--thus no option of waiting to take a later train. As such forcing them to pay extra is inherently unfair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
