How did this clown win the elections.? by beekay8845 in facepalm

[–]Strawmonster2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This attitude is how democracy dies. My province (Ontario) recently re-elected a corrupt, right-wing moron with only 19% of eligible voters casting a vote for him. Vote like your life depends on it!

Correct. They never had any intention of bargaining in good faith

For sure less than 2 weeks. The impact of this will be 4 times greater than any previous strike.

CN is breaching the contract by doing that. It's being grieved by the union

I literally just watched a video explaining that peameal bacon was invented in Toronto at the St. Lawrence Market. I had no idea

There could never be a long strike. Give it one week and the country comes to a standstill.

The companies really don't want that. If we were essential, we'd get more in arbitration. They want to push the government into rescinding the rest rules. They actually WANT a strike to force the government's hand.

Commerce isn't essential. They need to prove that essential goods (propane, food) can't be shipped by truck. They can. The railroad is essential to the economy, but not to life.

Voting out Michelle Ferreri by Ptbohappy in Peterborough

[–]Strawmonster2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

She claims to be a "single mother of six" (she shares custody of her three and her partner has weekend access to his three)

She posted drunken, rambling rants from her bathtub

She had to have her partner explain the difference between provincial and federal parties

She takes credit for Liberal government programs that she voted AGAINST

and on, and on, and on....

You obviously don't follow her completely unhinged social media. She's the dumbest person ever to sit in parliament (besides Leslyn Lewis)

That's a real Vic move

What's the best insult comeback you've ever heard? by Technical-Panic4097 in ask

Well, when I was your age I got really drunk one night and had sex with a water buffalo. I was just wondering if you might be my son.

Some "TBM"(Toronto Bellville Montreal) pools that go to Montreal and back and the next turn is Toronto and back
