EARLY START
TO BLACK FRIDAY
Black Friday got off to its earliest
start ever as American shoppers
put down their turkey and headed
straight to the malls.
Stores typically open in the wee
hours of the morning on the day
after Thanksgiving that’s named
Black Friday because it’s traditionally
when they turn a profit for the
year. In fact, generations of shoppers
have made Black Friday rituals
of going to bed early after munching
on turkey and pumpkin pie so that
they can head out to stores early the
next day.
But Black Friday openings have
crept earlier and earlier over the
past few years as stores have experimented
with ways to compete with
online rivals like Amazon.com that
can offer holiday shopping deals at
any time and on any day. And this
year, crowds gathered across the
country as stores such as Target and
Toys R Us opened yesterday evening,
while retailers from Macy’s to
Best Buy opened their doors at midnight
this morning.
About 11,000 shoppers were in
lines wrapped around Macy’s flagship
store in New York City’s Herald

Square when it opened.
Retailers are hoping that the earlier
openings will help boost sales
this holiday season. It is unclear
how many shoppers took advantage
of the earlier openings. But about
17% of shoppers said earlier this
month that they planned to shop at
stores that opened on Thanksgiving,
according to an International Council
of Shopping Centers-Goldman
Sachs survey of 1,000 consumers.
Overall, it’s estimated that sales
on Black Friday will be up 3.8% to
$11.4 billion (U.S.) this year.

DEADLINE DAY FOR ONTARIO
LIBERAL LEADERSHIP HOPEFULS
It’s the final day for would-be leaders
of the Ontario Liberal party to
decide whether or not to enter the
race to replace Dalton McGuinty.
There are seven contenders in
the contest to become the next premier
of Ontario after Government
Services Minister Harinder Takhar
resigned late yesterday and become
a last-minute entrant.
Four of the other leadership
candidates were ministers under
McGuinty, and also quit cabinet to
launch their bids: Kathleen Wynne,
Glenn Murray, Charles Sousa and Eric
Hoskins. The two others, Sandra Pupatello
and Gerard Kennedy, are both
former McGuinty cabinet ministers.
Kennedy left Ontario politics for
the federal scene in 2006, while
Pupatello – a Windsor native and
the only candidate from outside the
greater Toronto area – left politics
in 2011 for the private sector.
Today at 5 p.m. is the deadline to
enter the race, while midnight is the
deadline to become a member of the
Liberal party, eligible to vote for the
delegates who will actually vote directly
for the next premier.
Unlike most parties that opened
leadership conventions to all party
members and allowed online voting,
Ontario Liberals will select
about 2,000 delegates, including 16
from each riding to attend the leadership
convention.
The delegates will be selected at
local meetings in all 107 ridings the
weekend of Jan. 12, while the leadership
convention itself will be held
at Maple Leaf Gardens Jan. 25-26.
The Opposition said the winner
of the Liberal leadership won’t be
able to run away from problems that
plagued the government, including
the $1-billion eHealth scandal, a
police probe of the Ornge air ambulance
service and the hundreds of
millions spent to cancel two power
plants in Oakville and Mississauga.
“There is an unbelievable, pentup
anger with the Liberal government,”
said Progressive Conservative
energy critic Vic Fedeli.
“You can feel the anger in the
room over the Liberal government
and the fact they want them out. I
think any of these leadership candidates
are going to pay for the sins
that they created themselves.”

CANADA’S
‘BACHELOR’:
IT’S TRUE LOVE
The stars of The Bachelor Canada
are adamant: They will get married.
Brad Smith and Bianka Kamber
say they are eager to tie the knot
as soon as possible now that the TV
series that brought them together
has wrapped with a tearful finale.
The duo cuddled on a couch for a
day of media interviews yesterday,
pausing between declarations of
affection to offer pecks on the lips.
“It’s hard for a lot of people to
believe that you can have an organic
relationship on a reality television
show, but for us it was seamless,”
says Smith, his arm draped around
Kamber. “We knew by Day 4 that
this was the best decision that
we’ve ever made.”
A wedding date has not been set,
but Smith, a former wide receiver
with the Canadian Football League,
says he’s hoping it will be “ASAP.”
They say they’ve already begun
hunting for a house in Toronto
where they can start their lives. In
the meantime, Smith says he has
moved in with Kamber and her
family in Mississauga.
The first-ever edition of The
Bachelor Canada wrapped
Wednesday with the beefy former
football player presenting a
diamond-studded engagement ring
to the curvaceous brunette nurse.
In doing so, he bid farewell to
24-year-old Whitney Lee, who
floundered after meeting Smith’s
family in the finale.
“B, this is by far the easiest
decision I’ve ever had to make,”
Smith said as he got down on one
knee.
“Bianka Kamber, will you marry
me?”
“Yes,” she said immediately, later
letting out an exuberant “Whoo!”

REVIEW: LIFE OF PI
By ANDREW PARKER
CRITICIZE THIS!
Director Ang Lee brings Yann
Martel’s best-selling novel Life of
Pi to glorious and stunning life on
the big screen, in one of the most
sumptuous and intricately written
stories of the year.
Young Pi Patel (Sharma) gets
separated from his family in a
shipwreck off the coast of the
Philippines as they are moving
their family zoo to Canada. The film
focuses on the young man’s fight for
survival in a boat full of animals as
the older Pi relates his story in the
present to a Montreal writer.
(20th CENTURY FOX)
Dir: Ang Lee
Starring: Irrfan Khan, Suraj Sharma
Lee’s visuals are some of the best
of the year, but the surprisingly dexterous
script that conceals the film’s
biggest surprises is the real winner
here, along with Sharma’s excellent
lead performance.
Lee’s film never tries to outthink
the audience, and the film’s climactic
rumination on the nature of
storytelling and faith can be easily
accepted by anyone.
Don’t let the slow start fool you:
the emotional power of this film can
blindside even the most cynical of
moviegoers. It’s undoubtedly one of
the best films of the year.

GO LOUNGE
1718 QUEEN ST. W. 416-588-7529
WORDS: ROBYN URBACK
PHOTOS: ALEX DUNCAN
Go Lounge is Parkdale's very own board
game café. Opening yesterday to much
community anticipation, the new spot,
which squeaked in right before the
Parkdale moratorium on new restaurants
and bars, will offer over 300 games,
plus panini, coffee and best of all: table
availability.
As good as Snakes and Lattes is, the
caveat there always seems to be that if
you want to drop by during a busy time,
you better be prepared to wait. Granted,
Go Lounge is only in its first week, but
the availability of tables seems to be in
stark contrast to what you'll find in the
Annex. That’s enticing to those who
abhor a lineup.
Alisa Sadler and Samantha Lerner
are the women behind the shop, both
of whom abandoned their former positions
to venture out to open this café.
“We really liked the idea of Snakes and
Lattes,” Sadler says, “but we wanted to
do something different, something that
wouldn't necessarily be in competition."
For that reason, the women initially
looked to the east end (Leslieville, in
particular) for a spot, but decided on
Parkdale when this specific space became
available.
“It just felt really cosy,” Lerner says.
“And we’ve got traffic from both Queen
VISIT US ONLINE AT

and Roncesvalles, and a little more activity
during the day.”
The space certainly has a cosy vibe,
with warm exposed brick, salvaged
wood and glowing, hanging lamps. The
tables have been specifically designed for
optimal gameplay, and the back nook
area seems perfect for a small group.
To drink, Go offers coffee made with
Detour espresso, plus teas, pops and
juices, with Circles and Squares bites on
the side. The café also features panini
specials including brie, pear and walnut
($7); and turkey, gouda and avocado
($8), which each come with kettle chips
or a salad on the side. A liquor licence is
in the works.
Unlike Snakes and Lattes, Go Lounge
will not be charging cover. “We're a little
more intimate, more casual,” Lerner says,
noting their collection of games is considerably
smaller than Snakes and Lattes’.
“It's not only about the games – you can
just come here and hang out.”
The women admit they don't know
how to play all of the games that they
have in stock, but they expect to learn the
ins and outs of each within a few weeks.
Their collection includes classic games
(Monopoly, Life, Scrabble), party games
(Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, Taboo),
strategy games (Catan) and kids’ games.
There is even a vintage Bop It on one of
the shelves.
Go Lounge also has a classic Twister
board, and if you stop by the café before
word really gets out, you might actually
find room to play it.

HOCKEY’S GREY CUP?
The Argos and Stampeders fight it out for
the Grey Cup Sunday in the 100th
anniversary of the big football game. But
originally, the Grey Cup wasn’t intended
to be associated with football at all.
Governor General Albert Grey’s intent,
when he had the Grey Cup made, was to
hand it out to the Senior Amateur Hockey
champions (pro teams were already
competing for the Stanley Cup).
BROKEN CALCULATOR?
While this is the 100th anniversary of the
Grey Cup, the first time it was handed out
was 1909. That’s not a miscalculation;
WWI caused a three-year hiatus for
Canada’s top football prize, and after the
war, it was all but forgotten about – until
finally being revived in 1920. WWII didn’t
stop it from being handed out, with
military teams competing for the honour.

EDMONTON MEAT PLANT SUSPENDED
EDMONTON – The Canadian Food
Inspection Agency has suspended
the licence of an Edmonton meatprocessing
plant over concerns for food
safety. The decision involving Capital
Packers Inc. came yesterday.
The CFIA says adequate controls
for food safety “are not being reliably
implemented in the facility on a
consistent basis.”
The agency also says the company
hasn’t corrected deficiencies previously
identified through CFIA inspections.
It has placed all products at the
plant in northeast Edmonton under
detention and control.
The agency says it is investigating
whether products shipped from the
plant pose potential risks to consumers,
particularly related to listeriosis, a
foodborne illness that can cause high
fever, severe headache, neck stiffness
and nausea.
The CFIA has already announced
the recall of two products, saying ham
sausages produced at the plant were
being pulled from shelves because of
concerns about possible listeriosis.

“We have agreed that there is
some very good opportunity for us
to exchange technical information
around economic development,
the environment and the technical
development of resources so that we
can have an informed conversation,”
Redford said.
“I think what is really important
today is that we have acknowledged
that there might be opportunity. We
are not concluding what those will
be, but we are sharing some very
important information.”
Marois said she will travel to Alberta
to discuss the development further,

@miscbrah: I agree – fat people
take up too much space! Worst is

@ DoubleStandard: Reading Fifty
Shades offends you?? Maybe you
should get your wife/girlfriend to
pick it up and give it a go, maybe
then your nerves could be calmed,
or at least titillated!! I hardly think
you can compare a novel, even
one with sexually explicit details,
to that of a porn mag. And I am
pretty sure there are plenty of men
reading a couple pages of Grey and
loving it. I hardly think any of the
ladies enjoying Fifty Shades are
undressing you with their eyes as
they devour the naughty, steamy
parts of the book. They are too busy
minding their own business, and so
should you. LJ
This is for my new friend Judy who
rides the 755 train from Richmond
Hill. Up until this morning, I had
no idea what a big twit was called.
Thanks! Kept me laughing all day!
To the few individuals who get on
at Guelph at 6:14 in the morning:
please keep your loud voices and
laughter down. Most of us are still
half asleep and your piercing loud
voices make our heads hurt. Be a
little more considerate and let us
enjoy the peace and quiet of the
morning a little longer. - Sleepy
To the person who sent from
everyone. Please speak for yourself.
You must be ignorant as well to
speak for everyone. I agree with
MISCBRAH not that they should pay
twice but they should understand
the uncomfortable ride they make
for the other person. People
complain about smoking, smells,
eating; complaining about being
uncomfortable from someone’s fat
suffocating them is understandable.
I’m not going to dance around
people’s insecurities which is all this
is, so if you have those problems,
hit a treadmill! -don’t speak for me!
I knew that the Indian FWB was a
guy and look at the amount of fools
(men) who fell for that. Did anyone
else notice that quite a few of those
“men” who replied to the Indian
woman looking for an FWB had
already sent a Shout Out of their
own for an FWB? You guys must be
hard up. And ladies, the men who
post a Shout Out looking for an
FWB are bottom feeders. I’ve met
a few out of curiosity and all I have
to say is “WOW” and not in a good
way. @Not desperate at all

Hey Brown Girl, Thanks for the
warm welcome to the GO. You
know I always prefer leather over
lace. Love your Black Ops Man!
@miscbrah: Beauty is only skin

to believe not only were you beaten
with an ugly stick, you fell outta the
ugly tree and hit every ugly branch

Mr. Double Standard: Have you
read or opened the book, Fifty
Shades? If you had you would know
that there are no pictures, so I don’t
see the comparison to Playboy
magazine??? or have you been
reading over peoples’ Fifty Shades
over their shoulders on the GO?
Now that’s “disgusting!”
I feel like the GO would be a great
place to meet ppl/get dates. I’m
a cute guy but don’t seem to get
any looks/smiles/2ndtakes. What’s
the deal with women on the GO? -

Double Standard: Comparing
Playboy Magazine to Fifty Shades
of Grey, really? The last time I
checked, there were no pictures
of unrealistic naked people on the
cover or inside of our book. Unless
we were reading aloud, I don’t see
what you’re complaining about. I
suggest you pick up a copy to give
to your partner to read because
you obviously haven’t been laid in
a while. Signed, Anastasia
Darn, did I miss the Fifty Shades
of Grey version with pictures? Just

Dear dead end ... In case you don’t
think I know this is for me, you are
mistaken. I have known for weeks.
This needs to stop. I’m not sure why
you would think I like you when
I’ve told you that I am in a serious
relationship. What part of that do
you not understand?? You keep
trying to interfere in my relationship
and it’s not going to work. Please
leave me alone. And by the way ...
You were never in the friend zone.
Only the work acquaintance zone.
Why would i care if you move?!?
get it? Got it? Good!!
I would love to meet a virtuous,
intelligent or educated woman,
34-44, of Western or Eastern
European descent. I am a faithful,
one-woman man who likes movies,
travelling, music, theatre art,
dining, etc. I am a 45-year-old,
caring, professionally employed
black man with a love for family.

Sorry but I agree that if you know
in your heart, after trying to make
it work, that you no longer want to
be with your partner, you should
part ways. I have a few friends who
are divorced, all have children,
and their kids have adjusted. I
am a child from unhappy parents
and I wish my parents would have
divorced when I was younger. My
childhood was unsettled. And I
was left with the guilt that they
were forced to remain together
miserable because of me – tell me
what child wants that?! Signed

Miscbrah: You are very ignorant
and cruel for making the comments
that you did about people who are
overweight. Calling them plague is
wrong on so many levels. Referring
to them as abnormal makes me
wonder what you are? I am not
overweight but I have many friends
who have medical conditions that
makes it impossible to maintain
their weight. If you don’t want to sit
beside them, that’s your choice but
calling them names is just wrong.

Shame on you GO. Not providing

delay is within your control. How
do you promote service guarantee,

23K who are/will still use the monthly

much better for Presto card holder,

Dear Double Standard: four letters:
STFU. I will read my 50 shades-type
novel or “porn” where I please.
If you don’t like it, fund me for an

of. That one is just scratching the
surface, baby! -CG
Re: T.O. Barbershop Haircut: So the
Muslim guy was not comfortable
cutting a woman’s hair. BIG deal. He
was nice enough to call the woman
back and tell her he found someone
else in the shop for her, but she
refused? Why? Because she wanted
THAT person to cut her hair? Get
real. And she took the “case” to the
Human Rights Tribunal? This lady
needs to get a life. What a waste.
I’m a Caucasian, non-religious
female, and my response to her
would be “Go friggin get your hair
cut somewhere else and stop
wasting people’s time.” - FiFi FoFum
To all Bramalea GO riders who

every morning by those who wait
till the last minute to move to the

to Bramalea and my row moves
so slowly because many cars drive
ahead and sneak into the 2nd
