why did noone use the newsflash tag on this momentous news.

In other news, several millennium after the death of some very clever Egyptian architects, we still can't sort out "pavement".

Blame Rob Ford.

Almost everyone is texting or tweeting or surfing or emailing on a smartphone these days, even when doing things that require some personal attention.

That'll larn 'em!

$50 says you can't read this and not hear the song in your head.

Everyone knows they had help, man.

I'll take that $50 in the form of Tim Horton's gift card, thanks.

How oh how did people manage to walk across the ground before the invention of pavement?

If only there were some readily available interlocking bricks people could use to conduct repairs...

Anyone who might trip and injure/kill themselves while walking and smartphoning, deserves to be injured/killed, in spite of the nature of the obstacle that "caused" it.

Oh, Canada - Even your crumbling infrastructure is cute.

I think people are ignoring the real story here: the missing pylon. Where could it be? Who could have taken it? What do they intend to do with it. It should make for some interesting news in the coming days.

Fu*king carefully is my guess.

Don't worry, he's on the case.

Muddily.

/Wow, that's actually a word.

I don't think they compressed their underlayment adequately. Either that, or it is getting washed out somehow.

Nothing a little crushed gravel, polymeric sand, and avoidance of the lowest bidder wouldn't have prevented.

Came for Mayhem and destruction. Leaving unfulfilled. May have to watch Lohan in Liz & Dick to get my fix. .

Someone should take a bag of sand, two screwdrivers and a rubber mallet out there and spend 10 minutes fixing it.

I mean, really. That could spread and take in the whole county.

I'm stunned....how can people live like this

Someone must have needed additional ones.

In some brillant investigative reporting that only requires walking half a block in Toronto, the Star finds a single location where the interlocking sidewalk bricks have sunk....... ignoring the other half million examples across the city.

Does Canada have any real problems?

FTFY

They obviously don't drive the Gardiner very often.

Still, it's better there than Montreal...

Third world problems

Maybe in Canada, you get sued by the city if you try that in the United States. That being said, I'd fix it before writing an article about it.


/Since no one has been thoughtless enough to hotlink the photo.

Not News: The Toronto Star "fixer" isn't aware of the 311 number to call for exactly these sorts of things. Good to see the Star is as inept at general civic awareness as they are unable to produce a readable newspaper.

I think I'm going to be sick after seeing that.

Where's my money, Bucko? I'm taking this screenshot to my lawyer to see if a breach of the peace has occurred here and if I've been assaulted by the words you've written. This is America, Buddy...you just can't throw out slander like this. Who do you think you are? WBC?

One day, years ago, that man dreamed of becoming a journalist. Now look at him, the poor sap.

Right on, ElLoco

What they're NOT SHOWING YOU!!!

what the fark am i reading

Stupid tag is for the submission? Or for the green light?

It's news because The Maple Leafs are what usually are associated with collapses in Toronto.

Is this the first time that "Toronto" and "collapses" are used in a FARK headline and it's not about the Leafs?

Hey now, my in-law's basement literally IS a maple syrup reserve, since they make it and use it in place of sugar most of the time (it's great in coffee). They don't look anything like that. Lordfortuna and I use it too, about a quart a week for coffee, and while I'm fat, it's not because of that.

Also all their kids (6 of them) get to steal as much as they want whenever they visit, despite none of them actually helping with the preparation for several years now... *grumble*

Hey, you can't blame them, they had good intentions...

Pardon Me Sultan: Not News: The Toronto Star "fixer" isn't aware of the 311 number to call for exactly these sorts of things. Good to see the Star is as inept at general civic awareness as they are unable to produce a readable newspaper.

Most of the time, stuff gets published in The Fixer because 311 hasn't responded to complaints. It's basically public-shaming the city into doing its job.

Interlocking bricks disappeared?

Tetris?
