They trick you into thinking their food isn't poo poo, because the restaurant looks nice, but it's still garbage.

Yep, save your money for restaurants that are actually good and can do something that can't be trivially accomplished by any semi-proficient cook at home.

better yet buy a proper pasta cookbook and learn to make your own sauce for a million times better eating, also impress all your friends by making proper food for them

But, yeah, learning how to cook well is awesome and everyone should do it.

I actually think the beer stuff is worse because it's provincial. So like Ontario has beers that cant be sold to Quebec but CAN be sold to the u.s, it's madness. It's prompted breweries in Toronto to do weird poo poo like open bottle shops in order to circumvent the LCBO and ugh god its a lovely tangled web. A tangled web that would really REALLY like to have a monopoly on the distribution of weed as well! Dieu de Ciel couldn't sell 'Aphrodisaque' in ontario until it rebranded as 'Aphrodite' par example Zajajaja has issued a correction as of 17:25 on Jan 24, 2018 |

None, you don't say If I can make pasta sauce, pizza, burgers, etc. when drunk off my rear end (and I have!) then you can do it with kids around. Better yet, once they're old enough, involve them with the parts they can safely handle so they learn a fundamental life skill, and then when they go off to live on their own they'll be able to properly feed themselves. My parents always cooked meals from scratch and let me help out. It was actually a great way to spend time as a family.

CBC Radio Toronto had an interesting piece today about Amazon's new headquarters and the costs of encouraging a tech boom in the city. They had an economist on who argued that tech booms increase inequality and displace the working class. This isn't exactly news but what IS news is the fact that these issues are being covered in light of how much everyone seems invested in the new HQ. Radio One seems indistinguishable from rich liberal Boomer radio most days so I'm glad they had someone addressing issues that will primarily affect young people and lower income earners.
