Just wait until you find out his brother wrote a one-page memo on mayoral letterhead, cancelling a transit project that had been years in the making, and with the stroke of a pen costing the city nearly $100 million dollars in wasted effort and cancellation penalties. Oh, and the beneficiaries are the same construction-and-development types that Drug Fraud is courting with changing zoning laws and paving over agricultural land for an expressway that nobody asked for.
Trudeau underestimates how many people will vote against their own best interests because of a grudge.
And when their social services are cut, and they’re made homeless, or sick / dead / disabled because they couldn’t get the healthcare they needed, they’ll still find a way to blame anyone other than the people responsible for extending their misery.
Yeah, Ford wants Singh to know that, in no uncertain terms, he should be grifting his way to a fabulously wealthy retirement by lending political favours to developers and private healthcare companies, just like Mike Harris did.
So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold
It’s a crown corp. “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.” is the order of the day.
If you can’t negotiate and come to an agreement with your union, and ask the government to intervene, the government should impose conditions that are better than what the union is asking for.
I mean, they won’t do it… Even though CN made $5B last year, and $4B the year before that, then turned around and spent most of it on stock buy-backs to inflate their share price, making insiders an insane amount of money…
Yeah, my buddy was under microFIT - he missed the deadline for 80c/kWh, but got into the program that pays him 40c/kWh.
Works in Ontario. A friend of mine generates 2x to 4x more power than he uses. He had a 10k kW solar roof put in, it faces south, and the pitch of his roof was actually optimized for power output in the winter. His heat is propane, which isn’t optimal from an environmental aspect, but it’s modern and otherwise power-efficient.
If the government gets involved, it should mandate that the union gets 2x or 3x their demands. 7% raise? Now it’s 14%. 14 days vacation? Now it’s 28. Unions are asking to reduce shifts from 16 hours to 12? Congratulations. Now it’s 8.
If companies force the government to get involved, it’s the companies that should get fucked in the ass with a stick for dicking around.
You think the people that commissioned this train wreck were careless, lacked attention to detail, and has so little over that it produced in a terminally putrid result?
Just take a moment to imagine how much they’re going to fuck up if they get elected into positions of power.
Yup, CN could double or triple what workers are asking for, and it would barely make a blip in their income.

Income of 5.3 Billion in 2023.
I think they can afford several times what the union is asking for.
Man, I can’t wait until government schmuck decides that the stock I bought that dropped 80% over the course of the pandemic is ‘unfair’ and I should be compensated. Absolutely utter bullshit.
If their gamble on real estate didn’t work out, take the hit, sell at a loss, and learn your lesson.
No fucking wonder people can’t buy a starter home anymore.
Because they’re ignorant and entitled.
If all these people were in one place, it would be Ontario’s 10th largest city – bigger than:
Barrie Guelph Kanata Kingston Milton Brantford Thunder Bay Sudbury Peterborough Belleville Sarnia Welland - Pelham Sault Ste. Marie Bowmanville - Newcastle North Bay etc…
A wise man once told me: One crime at a time.
Now that Trudeau has run through his idea list
… and ignored the one most important to Canadians that got him elected (electoral reform)… … Canadians are unhappy with the economy
The hypocrisy is what gets me… Yeah, axe the tax… But let the forests keep burning, the rain keep flooding, the heat keep broiling people and droughts starving us…
It’s not rocket surgery… Make the thing that is bad for us more expensive, and use that money to make things that are good for us LESS expensive. I still don’t know why there isn’t a tax on gasoline and diesel and natural gas that doesn’t DIRECTLY fund public transit…
