My 2 Second Shelf Life

Two Bitches and a Howl

Bombardier just axed 1,330 jobs, and will dole out 31 million (US) in severance.

Didn't Canadians just bail them out?
Again?
Didn't we just make a deal to spend millions to give them the contract for the subway cars instead of getting more bang for our buck by going with a European company?

Bombardier is clearly one of the sacred cows of this country.
No wonder our transit system is shit. We're pissing our money away on companies that can't stay afloat because they're bloated with over unionized employees, and know they can depend on the Canadian taxpayer to bail them out whenever they look like they're going to nose dive again. Them, and Air Canada...Jeeezus!

The mud slinging continues in the Mayoral race, and any mud hitting Miller is ok with me.
His stupid ideas continue to make me marvel, from the axing of expansion of the Island Airport which would have eased some traffic problems, and congestion...to do what? Appease a few hundred people living on the island? It cost us millions to break the deal...for what?
Holy Mother of Pearl....islanders need to get with the idea that Toronto is a big city, and they live just a little way across the water from it.
I hope that Porter Airlines buys even more planes with the money they got from Millers' incompetence. Porter Airlines just expanded, and I say GO GO GO with it Porter.
His idiotic idea to take down the Gardiner Expressway because it's an "eyesore" is so stupid it makes my head hurt. You know what's an eyesore? All the fucking luxury condos right on the lakefront so that you can hardly even see the lake anymore, period. From anywhere. Unless you're standing by the lake...and many of those condos are now starting to gate access for their residents only...so, yeah. It's still about the Gardiner.

The Gardiner is still a prettier drive than the 401, and we're not talking about taking that down for esthetic reasons.

Pitfield says that Miller is anti-905...he's not just anti 905, he's anti North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough...well essentially anti anything west of Dufferin, north of St Clair, or East of Woodbine...over the past four years, he's proven to be at the level of City Councillor for a downtown ward...certainly not Mayor material.
Torontonians need to take that broom of his, and sweep his ass out of office.

And last but not least, A newsstand owner in Philadelphia refuses to stop selling, or cover the porn he sells, and put up a sign saying he'll rape anyone who complains about it.

Yeah.
That's a cutting edge idea.
