Toronto does not get that much snow, it on the wrong side of the lake, Buffalo on the other hand gets oodles. That said, I remember hearing the Specials like it was yesterday back at Uni in Waterloo (near toronto, FWIW) and I love it as much now as I did the first time I heard it. |

Exactly. Love The Specials and if your understand where they were coming from you can appreciate their music even more. |

Except over here, our politicians are smart (ie corrupt) enough to be sure that they are getting paid fat bank for it too. Only in politics can you sell out the people you promised to protect, lie about it publicly, and then get even more money for doing the same thing again. And people thought lying about getting a BJ was bad. Of course, NAFTA didn't do us any favors either... So, what's the weather like in those northern countries with a decent government and national healthcare?
