So am I understanding it correctly that you've quoted me twice to criticize the Video link I posted...twice...without watching even the first minute of it? I'm about as socialist as you are a rodeo clown and an astronaut.
An astronaut??????????????????????????????????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really Ron- that is weirdly unique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That if you walk like a LIE-beral....................
Talk like a LIE-beral.........................
Slag any view that does not support LIE-berals.........................
And REEK of selfish LIE-beral entitlements................................
And bathe regularly in great gobs of gravy showered on you by LIE-berals............................
THEN YOU ARE A LIE-BERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lack of a paid up party membership card DOES NOT DISQUALIFY YOU FROM WEARING THE LIE-BERAL LABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An is it not an INSULT to our intelligence that every time the weather turns sour and Toronto public transit grinds to a halt- Metrolinx pours oil on troubled waters- using the same old TIRED EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Metrolinx whines- "there is lots of snow blocking our switches- as idf they had never seen snow before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Metrolinx whines- its has gotten very cold and our equipments cannot handle it because it is all OLD"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the equipments is ONLY ONE YEAR OLDER than it was last year when they offered up the SAME EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And WHY is the equipment so old and frail?????????????????????
Because Metrolinx prefers to spend OUR CASH on gravy for Hogs instead of keeping public transit in reliable order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the price we pay for letting LIE-berals BUY civil service union Hog votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That unholy alliance of Hogs and LIE-berals is driving UP the price of everything and letting quality and reliability GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is another article on the outrageous behaviour of Metrolinx and the efforts of LIE-beral transport minister Del Duca to bury the problem-along with some comments of my own in brackets):
Metrolinx stumbles from crisis to crisis. First posted: Tuesday, August 02, 2016 10:39 PM EDT | Updated: Tuesday, August 02, 2016 10:49 PM EDT
The good news is, or rather was, that Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca was finally driven by repeated Metrolinx screw-ups to order a review of the province’s disaster-prone regional transportation agency.
The bad news is Metrolinx Chair Rob Prichard got in a snit about it and told the Metrolinx board he got Del Duca to substantially “soften” and limit “the breadth” of that review.
(Great-the Metrolinx HOGS are telling the guys that sign their pay cheques to mind their own business and not snoop into their wild spending habit!)
That letter having gotten out courtesy of the Toronto Sun’s Shawn Jeffords, spokesmen for Del Duca and Prichard now say everything’s proceeding swimmingly with the review which is supposed to be out in the fall.
In other words, instead of kicking down doors and taking names, which is what is clearly needed to right the listing Metrolinx ship, it sounds like this review will be little more than a whitewash of this “arm’s length” government agency as it stumbles from disaster to disaster.
Metrolinx ignored seven — SEVEN! — of its own detailed reports telling it the $27.50 one-way fare it was planning to charge for the Union-to-Pearson Express was too high to attract riders.
Metrolinx charged it anyway and riders stayed away in droves, until it finally lowered the fare to $12.
Then there was Metrolinx’s bizarre, costly and unnecessary promotion of new uniforms for UP staff.
Plus its pointless cross-promotion deals with everything from the Toronto International Film Festival to a Toronto, Buffalo Bills football game, which always seemed to end with Metrolinx staff being showered with goodies.
(I say Del Duca won’t want to admit it but Metrolinx Hogs are simply behaving like LIE-berals! All Hogs think they are ENTITLED-just like little kids in a candy store whose parents have told them they can have anything they want! Because they are SPECIAL! And LIE-beral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Ontario’s Liberal government created Metrolinx to take the heat off itself on major transit decisions — then overruled it anyway, when, for example, the Liberals decided they needed to back a Scarborough subway, instead of an LRT, to get a Liberal candidate elected in a Scarborough byelection..
(And now that a LIE-beral represents Scarborough, WILL there be a subway? Gosh NO! What is wrong with Ontari-owe citizens that any of them continue to BELIEVE LIE-berals-in SPITE of the roughly THREE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS in outstanding pension IOU`s that LIE-berals have offered up but cannot pay for!)
Then auditor general Jim McCarter blasted Metrolinx in 2012 for letting the budget for its “Presto” pass almost triple to $700 million.
(Hey-if EXCESS is good for ORNGE and E-health its certainly good enough for Metrolinx! Or is it? And PRESTO is now proven to be what its critics called it: the most costly and least reliable of several systems available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
On Tuesday, Metrolinx awarded a $428 million contract to build double-decker Go Trains to Bombardier, even though the company is behind schedule on a $1 billion streetcar order with Toronto and a previous $770 million contract with Metrolinx for LRTs.
(And of course now 59 of the new street cars are being SENT BACK to Bombardier for remedial work on BAD FRAME WELDS!!With an additional 6 more of the new cars needing repairs after being driven into and stranded in rising flood waters during thunder storms!!!!!!)
(And this brings us to the issue of neglected city drainage systems!! Are the storms really getting that much worse or is the entire Toronto sewer system simply getting clogged with sediment and garbage? Or should we assume the drainage system is simply overloaded since most of it was built 100 years ago- with no expansion to deal with the growing city? Maybe global warming is a HANDY LIE-beral EXCUSE for LIE-beral neglect of infrastructure?)
(IN my suburb there is a street where people had flooded basements- full of raw sewage 3 times in 5 years- RIGHT AFTER several new subdivisions were built UP STREAM from the old neighbourhood! And the govt got tired of listening to voters whining and built several rain water retention ponds- and problem solved!!)
Maybe it’s time to put Metrolinx out of its — and our — misery.
(Oh-I would say its WAY PAST TIME! Metrolinx was created to get things done-and NOTHING is being done. The only thing being built is Eglinton LRT-and its being done because of former Toronto mayor Rob Ford-who recognized that the city had money for one thing - they could have either Hog gravy OR they could have money for LRT-BUT NOT BOTH-so Ford cut the gravy!)
(Metrolinx was supposed to make transit choices-and they have been over ruled on Scarborough subway by LIE-berals.)
( They were supposed to ensure transit jobs such as UP line were done on time and on budget-ANOTHER FAIL! )
(And what of the MESS on Queens Quay? Over time and over budget-with a BADLY designed intersection that causes all manner of trouble for drivers!)
But Mertrolinx HAS provided a GRAND series of COSTLY studies on Toronto transit options as requested-but since the city and province are BROKE-nothing will be built. And we don’t need more plans-we need cash money and shovels in the ground and Metrolinx ain’t needed for that! Kick those Hogs out of OUR trough!)
(And in the latest insult to tax payers, Jackass John Tory has hired a “transit czar” to cut red tape and bureaucracy with “laser like focus”!!!!!!!!! Yes the new czar will have an annual salary of over $200 grand per year and a staff of 15 people!!!!
Though what they will be doing all day to actually EARN THEIR GRAVY is a MYSTERY! Jackass John seems to think the major obstacle to building more transit is that other levels of govt are too STINGY to shower him with cash!!!!!!!!
