Yes this is gonna be a “Let’s all hate Toronto” diatribe. But seriously it’s 11h30 am and I’m already bored and I’ve done tons of shit. I’ve been to “The Bunker” aka the US Consulate to get my US work VISA, which is the purpose of this whole trip. Then I went back to my [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A recent commenter called me a racist for wondering why I can’t get a French speaking Taxi driver in Montreal and then calling a French Canadian a “real Quebecois” in a recent blog post. Well I’m gonna go off on a rant here.
