Gil Meche

I think I figured it out, ... All teams that start with T give me trouble. Tampa, Toronto, Texas. But in all honesty, it's the way it goes. The balls I threw on the corners they hit and the ones over the middle they crushed. It's just one of those nights.

Paul Byrd

That's playing hockey in Toronto. When things are bad (fans) want to dismantle the team and fire everybody and bring in new people.

Wade Belak

When I was at the Toronto Film Festival this week, I saw this wonderful Brazilian film called House of Sand. Since the movie was so terrific, and Delray has a large Brazilian population, I thought it would make for a nice addition. When I spoke to the film's director himself and told him about the Delray Film Festival, he instantly said yes.

There really isn't a good player out there that every coach doesn't know about. For us it makes sense because we are so close.

Iain Klugman

We still have franchises in the process of rebuilding. I include Hamilton and Toronto in that group. They're not making a profit yet, but they're going in the right direction. I would say Winnipeg is a sensitive market, too. Our league is stronger than it was '96, '97, '98, '99, but there are still some sensitivities in those three markets.

David Braley

With all the young talented arms they have, Toronto has the ability to even make trades to fill in the key roles they're missing in the big leagues.

We'd have to look at the numbers. Would the hotels be willing to work with us? Would the downtown community be willing to make sure our guests - from Canada, Toronto and the United Kingdom - are well treated? Those are big and important things.

John Burton

I live for the city of Toronto, ... I heard a few things, but I assume it's just rumors.

They have to stop being a Toronto broadcasting corporation and get out and establish themselves in the cities across the land.

Brian Morrison

You can't be at a better place (than Toronto).

Randall Emmett

I'd say Toronto is the biggest disappointment only because they didn't prepare for this two years ago. I think they were among those teams that thought the new system would include a luxury tax, like baseball has, and they'd pay that and spend what they wanted. They never thought they'd be in a position where they couldn't just write checks and make everything OK.

Gary Green

If it's decided by politics, it's Beijing, ... If you ask the wives where they want to go, it's Paris. If you ask the athletes, it's Toronto.

We could not be more excited about working together with the university to enable educational innovations for their faculty, students and entire campus community.

Michael Chasen

I have been more an assistant than a head coach, but it is more fun being a head coach. It is more agony, too. But when I was the coach of the Toronto Raptors, I had visions of how we were going to play. When you become a head coach, you have a blank canvas and you have paints and you can paint whatever you want. As an assistant coach, you make suggestions.

Brendan Malone

Unfortunately, people think of Toronto as another U.S. city, not an international destination like Quebec City. Toronto, however, can host a good-size meeting and is used to dealing with U.S. organizations.

Amy Ledoux

Bill Forsyth

This is why people love to play in a place like Toronto. This is what (Gretzky) goes through every day.

It's Thursday evening in Toronto -- I had to actually ask the drummer -- but for us, it's Friday night.

Mel Clark

What really helped me the most was I went to see an osteopath in Toronto.

Carol Moore

In Toronto, the Maple Leaf emblem is as strong as the New York Yankees.

Alan Adams

I'm not playing at my best, I don't feel the ball well. I have a new coach and he's changing things in my game, so the shots feel so insecure at the moment. My first (match) with him I lost in Toronto and now here. And before that I was not playing bad. Since I started with the coach, I'm not feeling so confident.

Jelena Jankovic

It probably hits him like a freight train, ... This was kind of a perfect situation for him. His wife ( Angela ) is from here. The kids are in school, kind of established, home, and then to move all the way to Toronto, that has to be difficult for anybody.

David Wesley

It does feel like a playoff atmosphere. We've been battling to catch Toronto and we've done it. Now we're trying to pass them.

Anthony Calvillo

New York enjoys film production revenues of $500 million, and Toronto rakes in $1 billion annually. We still have a long way to go.

It's been one of the worst weeks for (Toronto) stocks since April.

[Chen allowed two hits in eight innings and Chris Ray pitched a perfect ninth Wednesday night in the Orioles' 7-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.] I did want to go out there for the ninth inning, ... I had good stuff and I felt like I could have done it, but I'm just glad I helped this team win. We really needed a win.

Bruce Chen

They called Bryan in for a status report today and a contract is not being offered at this time. He is still very interested in continuing his career in Toronto. We've had some contact with other teams, but he will take a week or so to decide his future.

Rick Curran

Toronto has finally lost its innocence. I think we're going to feel this day for a long time to come.

Savas Kyriacou

There was two second left in game. I don't know why he do it. He was disappointed we beat Toronto, I guess.

Alex Ovechkin

You now see stars coming in from all over the world. That's an advantage in a marketplace like Toronto that is so culturally diverse. We know we're going to attract a lot of Russian-speaking Torontonians.

Michael Downey

There may be some excess fruit that producers in the Toronto area could purchase.

George Rose

Richard Powers brings over 12 years of teaching and administrative experience at the University of Toronto to his new position, as well as a wealth of experience in the not-for-profit sector. I look forward to working with Richard to ensure that our MBA programs continue to grow and prosper.

Jim Fisher

Turn it in and save a life. We know half the guns on the streets of Toronto are stolen.

The best thing we ask for is to give ourselves a chance to win. I like what we did in Montreal but we just didn't finish it off in Toronto.

Henry Burris

I just know we're ecstatic about the opportunity to come down with probably a younger group of guys than we had in Toronto and a great goaltender in Luongo. We feel we can make an impact and make the Florida Panthers a better hockey team.

Gary Roberts

We've even had some quiet visits from Toronto officials.

Barry Friesen

In light of the recent barbaric attacks in downtown Toronto . . . we are very concerned that our informational advertising is being intentionally misconstrued for political purposes.

Larry Whitmore

It's a pretty low period right now. We had two fantastic games versus Buffalo and Toronto, and to come down tonight with that type of performance is unexplainable.

Jean Paul Marat

September is the new October. Everything is moving up in the year, and Toronto is the right festival at the right time.

Dawn Taubin

It (returning to Toronto) wasn't really a consideration. (Tonight) is just another game. It's going to be a tough game for us.

Alexander Mogilny

The international star power that descended upon Toronto in the past days was unprecedented.

Noah Cowan

For a long time Dermot worked more, and I would always go on location with him... Dermot did all the work-I think he commuted maybe 10 times between flying to Omaha from Toronto. It takes effort when you're both working, but we try not to work at the same time.

Catherine Keener

Toronto will be the focus of the international soccer world.

Kevan Pipe

Toronto is missing out on a great economic opportunity.

Barry Friesen

Unlike most American galleries that increasingly have to cover the bottom line, the National Gallery of Canada is a large gallery in a small city and there's not so much pressure to have this huge attendance that you night have in Toronto or Montreal.

David Franklin

He's a great player and I have a ton of respect for him. On the other hand, you kind of say: 'We'd like to play Mike O'Shea and beat him because Mike O'Shea is the Toronto Argonauts.

Greg Marshall

The recent spate of gun violence in Toronto is something that is of concern to the federal government.

Alex Swann

The people of Newmarket- Aurora (her Ontario riding north of Toronto) elected me. They are the ones who will either re-elect me, or throw me out in the next election. I answer to the people of my community not to the political operators of the NDP.

Belinda Stronach

We anticipate he'll return to form in Toronto and do what he needs to do and get his career back on track.

John Ferguson

Toronto is one of the safest cities of the world.

John Bitove

This game means everything. It means a lot. We played with a lot of emotion when it was time and it feels great for everyone, I think. Every game we can see progress. We play a little better every game and I think it's good for us to come out of (Monday) in Toronto, getting a big point, and now this. This is a huge win for us, and not only on the scoreboard. Emotionally, as a team, it's huge.

Maxime Talbot

It's beautiful. Make it as hard as possible for us. We're not looking for any easy routes to a championship. We want to go through the best to be the best. (Toronto is) the team to beat, and you know you're ready for a dogfight with them. Beating them (again) could be a big momentum-builder for us.

Mark Steenhuis

Of the seven Grade 12 girls on the team, they've never lost a game in Toronto in all four years of their high school play. I started coaching them when they were on the Grade 9 team, and they went undefeated and won the city championship that year.

Bill Mackay

We received a report from a volunteer storm spotter of a tornado in (northern Toronto). But we haven't been able to verify if there was any damage or if anyone else saw this.

Geoff Coulson

I think NHL teams and fans should know that if a $33.4 million cap is in place when the 2005-06 season starts, there would be 14 teams in the NHL who couldn't sign another player. Eleven teams would still lose money. The Toronto Maple Leafs, for the '05-06 season, would have $35.5 million and they would have nine players to play the games.

Pat Morris

And then it wouldn't be opening the Toronto film festival and it wouldn't be opening around the world.

Deepa Mehta

Toronto always was No. 1 on his list. A.J. is thinking of living in Toronto, he wants a stable environment. His wife is now only 400 miles from her family (Annapolis, Md.).

Darek Braunecker

The lesson is those things have to be negotiated in private, but once you finish those negotiations, all those things have to be public, and that wasn't done in Toronto.

Robert Poole

Winning large conventions such as these takes months and often years from the initial bid through to the site inspections and final decisions. Global competition is more intense than ever and Toronto is now demonstrating it can compete with top cities around the world and win.

Bruce Macmillan

We came out flat and didn't get the start we wanted and they jumped on us. I don't know. Toronto had to wait through the ceremony too. Both teams had the same wait before the game and that shouldn't have been a factor at all. They're desperate and they want to catch us in the standings.

Rick Rypien

Other teams have called but he's not going anywhere right now. He's always wanted to stay in Toronto (where his family lives) and he's considering his options. He'll decide at the end of the weekend what he'll do.

Rick Curran

This image of us as being art supportive and very cultured is false, ... The money that we have now that is keeping this place going has come from Canada-the University of Toronto. When you come across sponsors like these gentlemen we have today, what it does for the individual artist is enormous. It means that we can feel that there is some direction to our lives.

Derek Walcott

I was fortunate to play for Toronto one year (1998-99) and I quickly realized what that team means to the city and to Ontario -- it's the Maple Leafs Nation.

Dallas Eakins

We're making a concerted effort to show Ottawa's diversity to leisure travelers, meeting planners, tour operators and the travel media in our largest market, Toronto. By partnering with an existing event that draws 100,000 people over the course of five days, we can maximize our visibility.

Jacques Burelle

It was really as simple as that -- not to mention it's a pretty great place to start off. It's really always been a fantastic U2 market, and very supportive -- you know, Canada as a whole -- but certainly Toronto. I think it'll be a great vibe.

Arthur Fogel

I would say overall it was a relatively stress free market. People were more on the level and the condition of the vehicles was better than buying in Toronto or Vancouver for sure.

George Iny

That has been a major part of our training in Canada. Without that financial support we probably wouldn't have been able to stay in Toronto and train with these amazing coaches.

Nina Daniels

I moved to Edmonton in 1950. I left for a period of three years, 62. 63, 64 when I worked in Toronto and traveled around with the Leafs.

Brian Hall

He pitched well (as a starter) in Arizona and his first year in Toronto. He did well, and that at this point is a greater area of need for our club.

Josh Byrnes

[April 1997 -- The House of Commons approves a last minute appeal by Liberal MP Dennis Mills to amend the Canada Marine Act to give Toronto federal port authority status.] I'm totally surprised by it, ... We were assured the City of Toronto (port) would be excluded from the legislation and a consultative process would be set up.

Barbara Hall

We're battling for first place with Ottawa, so all those games are going to be huge. Then Toronto and Boston are fighting for playoff spots, and Montreal's trying to stay in. Those are all going to be huge, key games for us. Those are all four-point games.

Derek Roy

'American Beauty' really reinforced in Hollywood's eyes the idea that Toronto could actually break a film that was very important. They came here and gathered acclaim and critical support that lasted through the Oscars. Subsequent to that, virtually every year, we've had a significant number of films here that later came out with nominations and Oscars.

Piers Handling

What's going to be one of the big issues is who's going to be the face of the Toronto tournament, Stacey did that so well. We've got to make sure we don't lose that standard.

Michael Downey

Thailand can handle the most-complex products almost as well as our operations in Toronto and Italy. Those two spots are technically as deep as any other plants in the industry, and Thailand is not far behind.

Rob Sellers

As he got closer and closer to Toronto, more and more news spread about him ... it was fantastic. It was really exciting and it was inspiring. It was kind of magical.

Tony Baker

Obviously, we won't be replicating that, but in our own buildings we should continue to do well. We expect another great year in Winnipeg. The loss of the team in Edmonton will hurt but adding the Toronto Marlies helps offset that. We have four new teams in all so we think we very well might hit (7 million) again.

David Andrews

It is that machine that they put together in Toronto that is really at the heart of Arthur's operation. They are the best in the world at what they do.

Paul Mcguinness

(Toronto) is one of the best places, if not the best place in North America, to launch films. Journalists from all over are there, and it?s the most responsive audience you can wish for. That can be a liability when making an acquisition call but not a liability when you are launching a film and want to show it in the best possible context.

Michael Barker

I've been happy here. Toronto has been my home away from home. That made it easy.

Tomas Kaberle

He had a couple of chances, ... It's coming. It's just his first game and I hope he's going to get much better. We were playing exactly the same way as we did the last couple of years. When I got the puck I always looked for him. But we're going to work on that in practice [Thursday] and against Toronto [on Friday] he's going to score a couple.

Ilya Kovalchuk

I know they're upsetting a good part of the Toronto city council and I know they're upsetting the mayor, but frankly, I don't have any eloquent way to put it: We don't care, we need some sort of presence.

Andrew Ferguson

We're incredibly proud that 'Smoking' is our debut film and we're thrilled to be partners with Fox Searchlight. Jason, the cast and crew did an amazing job bringing the film to the screen and our experience at Toronto has been a dream come true.

David Sacks

At this concert we did in Toronto, there must have been 10 kids or so, ages five and up, standing in front of the stage and dancing, ... That makes me feel terrific.

Jay Siegel

I said Dontrelle Willis before the game. I say Chris now. I faced Chris when he was in Toronto and I thought he was the best I'd ever seen then. He's better now.

Doug Mientkiewicz

I just want to enjoy the win. I faced Toronto like eight times and [didn't] win. I threw my fastball and my slider well. I was happy with that.

Daniel Cabrera

For 16 years in Toronto we thought he was a good scout. It only took the Cubs one month to figure how bad he was.

Tim Wilken

The airlift situation is not seamless and although in the last year we have seen, for example, Continental Airlines starting non-stop service from Newark to Beijing and Air Canada doing service from Beijing to Toronto, the difficulty of the visa over the US presents a problem for the Chinese.

David Shields

Here in Toronto, the Canadian model is showcased for the world to see. It is an achievement that has eluded many societies and one that we Canadians sometimes take for granted, and that is unfortunate.

Michaelle Jean

We've seen worse, but I'm sure there are people in parts of Toronto who were not happy to see any rain after the events of Aug. 19.

Geoff Coulson

From what I can tell, hockey is not selling in the U.S. Sunbelt anymore. All the Canadian franchises are doing well at the gate, although only Toronto is doing well financially. But would you rather sell hockey in the desert to the few people who know about it, or sell it where people love it and worry about the value of the currency.

Patrick Laforge

Tons of movies are shot in Toronto, but Toronto is never Toronto.

Eugene Levy

She starred in the original Toronto production of Hair. It's a great time to go back and revisit some of that music.

Eric Epstein

It has been a long time coming and I'm excited to be part of the Argonauts. I can't wait to get to camp and I am eager to become part of the Toronto community.

Eric Crouch
