(Resigned amidst scandal) Please provide the name of and link to the source where you learned Balkissoon left Queen's Park because of a scandal. There was never any explanation given for his resignation. Only earlier this month did he say family was the reason he's now out of provincial politics. There could be more to this story, but so far I haven't heard from any media outlets saying he was involved in a scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D40LF Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Although I have met a few famous people over the years the one I remember the most was Vanilla Ice, not for anything special but because I was at a truck stop in Virginia and stood right next to him. We were talking to each other and I had no idea who it was until afterwards... Does Sherman Wong count as a famous person? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

140 Southshore Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Earlier today I was riding the new Q-Line in Detroit and happened to notice WJBK Fox 2 reporter Ryan Ermanni wrapping up a segment for a report on the route's opening weekend success as it stopped at the Amsterdam Street station heading south. http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/254792904-story At around the 00:57 mark in the video in this link, you will even hear the very same cheers that I heard when the other passengers noticed Ermanni doing this report.

OC Transpo/STO Fan Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Closest I've gone was meeting Peter Joynt, a rapper. Fun fact: We both have something in common. We both stutter. My stutter used to be severe, but still not as severe as his. Mine is now mild to borderline moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
