Home - Obama's Playlist | CBC Radio: "49 Songs from North of the 49th Parallel
Canadians choose 49 songs from North of the 49th parallel that defines Canada to the new President.

Beginning Monday, January 5, CBC Radio 2 invites Canadians to help select the top “49 songs from north of the 49th parallel” that would best define our country to the incoming U.S. President Barack Obama.

His playlist could definitely benefit from some Canadian content, especially given the depth of our musical offerings – spanning a wide variety of genres and representing our culture from coast to coast.

“One of the best way to know Canada is through the depth and breadth of our artistic expression,” says Denise Donlon, Executive Director, CBC Radio. “We're excited about the new President and we want him to be excited about us, so we're asking our audience to help compile the list of our most definitive Canadian songs!”

A total of 49 songs will be determined.
So, what Canadian music do you think are the most definitive 49 songs from North of the 49th parallel?"

Cross-boundary Specialized Transit Service in the GTHA

I'm just looking for people to fill in a short survey about cross-boundary specialized transit in the GTHA if they use cross-boundary service...

Here's what I originally posted:
Hey everyone, I'm a 2nd year Master's student at UofT in the Urban Planning program. I'm doing a study for my final research paper on cross-boundary specialized transit (paratransit) in the GTA & H. Does anyone here ever make cross-boundary trips using specialized transit in the GTA & Hamilton? if you do, and you're interested in filling in a short survey please send me a message. Or email me directly at krepostmans@geog.utoronto.

Quote of the day:
'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

List of current National Football League stadiums - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The following is a list of current National Football League stadiums, sorted by capacity, their locations, their first year of usage and home teams.

Stadiums represent a considerable expense to a community, and thus their construction, use, and funding often enters the public discourse.[1] Also, given the perceived advantage a team gets to playing in their home stadium, particular attention is given in the media to the peculiarities of each stadium's environment. Climate, playing surface (either natural or artificial turf), and the presence or lack of a roof or dome all contribute to giving each team its home-field advantage."

Billboard Hot 100 Chart 50th Anniversary: "Fifty years ago, in the Aug. 4, 1958, issue, Billboard launched a revolutionary chart called the Hot 100. After nearly two decades of tracking songs distinctively by sales or plays (on jukeboxes and at radio), the Hot 100 was the first list to measure popularity by incorporating both radio play and sales. Scoring the chart's inaugural No. 1 was Ricky Nelson with 'Poor Little Fool.' Billboard.com is celebrating this milestone in a big way. We have posted all kinds of Hot 100-based charts leading up to the newly-unveiled special All-Time Hot 100 chart and the commemorative Hot 100"

TSN2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The Sports Network 2, or commonly known as TSN2, is a Canadian English language digital cable specialty channel owned by CTV Specialty Television Inc; a division of CTVglobemedia (80%) and ESPN (20%). The network was launched on August 29, 2008. TSN2 was originally an 'alternate feed' for TSN, showing only programming that could not be shown on the main channel due to other programming commitments (initially for blackout purposes, but then for other programming it could not air). In August 2008, it was relaunched as its own channel with a separate 24-hour lineup, now known as TSN2."

TSN2 -TV: The T in TSN doesn't stand for tennis today - Posted Sports: "TSN, meanwhile, decided that Monday Night Football was more important, and farmed Federer-Murray onto TSN2, launched last week. This would be great except for two things. One: TSN2 is largely theoretical. I have about 600 channels in my idiot box, and TSN2 is not one of them. If one didn't know better, one would think it was a cynical ploy to boost demand for the second station with Rogers, Bell and Star Choice, none of who carry it. You know, if one didn't know better"

TheStar.com | Sports | New TSN channel slowly coming into focus: "most Canadians couldn't find TSN2 with a GPS. That's why few watched yesterday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race, which was shown here exclusively on TSN2.

Prior to landing on the Cogeco cable system last week, TSN2 wasn't available in the Toronto area and still hasn't found a home with the region's big guys: Rogers Cable, Bell and Star Choice.

But TSN assures viewers this is a temporary situation."
