In remembrance of my grandparents who all served in the military during the second world war, I thought I would post these amazing photos of Toronto during the war. Even though many of our grandparents are no longer with us, their selfless actions and sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Yeah, this is one of those long blog posts, so if you're not feeling like reading, we're cool with that. I think it's worth the read, but I'm a little biased. What is your average commute time? I spend 15-20 minutes driving to my office 7 days a week and you may occasionally catch me yelling at myself as an eighty year old couple leisurely cycles past me while I'm stuck in some construction traffic. Traffic congestion in our city is forecasted to come to a grinding halt sometime around 2031. The "average" commute time ... read more
