Who cares if RF supports Pride? Is that an issue that this election is being fought over? Is that a pressing issue in Toronto? How about his feelings on Scientology? Does he think video games are more fun than board games? Does he prefer cats over dogs? Tee shirts or muscle shirts? Regular or...

Et all. Problem is, the highway is really intended for trucks, both to get to Toronto and to cross southern Ontario to Windsor/Detroit like the old CASO/MC did 100 years ago. Truckers have been crying for this for years. For reasons I can't fully explain, it is not possible to put them on the...

If ehealth didn't prove that Smitherman is not a capable leader, nothing will convince those that support him. The whole thing was/is a fiasco. It's true that nobody is perfect, but what those consultants are doing with the Gov'ts tacit approval is sick, and those in power seem disinterested in...

The whole thing is stupid. A bunch of politicians feeling self important and smoozing up each others posteriors, who don't seem to do much other than decide "hey, lets do this again sometime"... though it's nice the bank tax was killed. And the protesters are just the rent a mob and pissed off...

Earthquake. Rob Ford running for Mayor. Coincidence?

Well, he finished his days work and helped a buddy with his. That PO'ed someone.

What that is supposed to mean is that we, the tax payer, are being over-billed. They simply don't do much work relative to their compensation. I get my point of view from a former TTC maintenance worker, since moved on to another city department. Got tired of not being able to do more than 30...

This: It is mentioned, though it seemed to come out of nowhere. As for resurrecting a dead thread, I don't necessarily base my decision to post on the date of the last post...

I'll remember that every time I hear TTC riders complaining about another fare increase. Your logic is pretty flawed and exposes an acute inability to grasp reality on your part. It doesn't matter if it's Gov't or private sector, controlling costs is essential, and part of that is getting as...

Comparing a Canadian political to the Nazi party is simply is despicable.

GM was warned year after year that they were in deep trouble, yet they averted bankruptcy by increasing borrowing and, amazingly, continued to find people willing to lend them money. Now they are a bankrupt ward of the state. It took decades for GM to hit the wall, but they were warned all...

On a personal note, those who love to apply the Nazi label on everyone they disagree with or find to be conservative obviously don't know anyone victimized by them. Please stop using Nazi as a label; it trivializes the suffering they inflicted on millions, and though you may not care, many of us...

Kind of like saying all communists support death marches and massed deportation.

I think in general it might be unfair to say that all city workers do poor work. In most cases, this is untrue. It is true, however, that the city could save a massive amount of money by increasing the amount of work they can do in a day, but the unions won't let that happen. I can think of a...

Tendency is a subjective opinion, not really an argument. My question is if Toronto isn't in trouble, why all the press year after year? The same media posts stories about murders, drug busts, global warming and celebrity deaths. Is none of that true? Dismissing someone because they are...

Tee hee, it's Skeena :) Typically the on board operating crew is given a manifest showing their power and consist, GBO's (general bulletin orders) detailing with outstanding track conditions for slow orders and the like, and they are notified of all planned stops. Outside of scheduled stops...

Oh, the media is more sensational here. Thank goodness, I thought Toronto was in trouble! What about the York Prof, is he being sensational too?

I don't read about Calgary or Hamilton or Windsor teetering on the verge of bankruptcy every year. I wonder why they keep writing about Toronto's troubles since, according to you, there are none?

You get the same ethics and more work from the private sector... at a significantly lower cost.

Another one... though I suppose it's irrelevant since it appears in the National Post even if it references a York Prof: http://tiny.cc/j17tf
