I should add that I belong to one of those unions but I don't see where their plan will help people like me because of the local hire provisions.

Here is an article illustrating the poisoned views of LIE-beral politicians and describing how LIE-berals are screwing up public transit! With some comments of my own in brackets):


A better transit plan for Ford

GOLDSTEIN: One law for SNC-Lavalin, another for the rest of us

This year, expect a battle royale between the province and the City of Toronto over Premier Ford’s ill-advised plan to upload the TTC’s subway system.

(Warren IMMEDIATELY exposes his bias! Considering that TTC would not even be upgrading its signals or tracks this year of it were not for a federal infrastructure grant- we can see Toronto municipal govt is DOING NOTHING! Toronto council is in lock down mode due to its debt, waste and extravagance!!!!!!!!!)

Both sides will spend carloads of political capital arguing about a move that will do little to enhance the use of transit.

(Toronto council has been arguing about a down town relief line for 50 years and done NOTHING! LIE-berals KNOW that they must chose between gravy for civil service union Hogs and repairs to infrastructure- with LIE-berals deliberately wasting ALL our money on buying Hog votes while ignoring NEGLECTING INFRASTRUCTURE!!!!)

Instead, Ford should look beyond this upload bromide to more important governance reforms that are long overdue. He has a chance to lead changes that would actually curb congestion and help the environment.

(This nothing more than the OLD LIE-beral whine- somebody give us MORE GRAVY and the world will be fine! This cry ignores the reality that Ontari-owe under Wynne-bag LIE-berals hit the debt wall- there is NO MORE MONEY!!!!!!!!!)

(And whining LIE-berals also ignore the ugly reality that Our idiot Boy Justin has also hit that debt wall- and he has done so faster tha n expected as his refusal to allow oil exports has crippled the entire Alberta economy! This is why Our idiot Boy is relentlessly pushing his hugely unpopular- govt killing carbon crap and trade tax scam! He desperately needs that new gravy to buy votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(No carbon tax means the death of LIE-beral govt and an immediate slam into the debt wall-nso there is no more federal gravy either! NOBODY TRUSTS LIE-berals any more - many Cdns voted for them in 2015 in expectation of aid for things like the environment, tuition costs, new transit, new housing for natives- and LIE-berals have WASTED FOUR YEARS - while wasting $100 BILLION DOLLARS IN NEW DEBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

In the 1980’s, Metro Toronto was the eleventh largest municipality in North America, but enjoyed the third largest annual transit ridership, exceeded only by Chicago and New York.

(IN THE 1980`s we were not nearly so deeply in debt- and that is the difference!!!!!!)

The ridership-per-capita was the best on the continent. The system raised 75% of its operational funding from the fare box. The TTC was a model system.

This performance level had many mothers: consistent capital and operating financial support from Queens Park. Professional transit staff identified the most cost-effective system expansion priorities and implemented them.

(TTC STILL HAS those items- consistent capital and financial support from Queens Park! All that has changed is that LIE-berals DO NOT want to admit how much gravy they have wasted on themselves! To bring govt finances completely back into the black and pay off LIE-beral pension promises to Hogs would require a tax hike of minimum 25 percent on EVERYTHING - drivers licenses to school taxes, real estae taxes, HST, income tax and etc! That is such a politically suicidal act that LIE-berals naturally shrink away from it and instead LIE-berals offer up lame excuses about how mysterious ”others” are tying their hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

There was some political meandering, but nothing like recent years. Over the last decade and a half, we’ve had three provincial governments and three Toronto mayors all with dramatically different rapid transit plans — each taking years to build.

(AND NO ACTION on any of the grand “plans” - that are called DELUSIONS by some- since the Hog gravy train has grabbed all the money!!!!)

During the 1980’s, the TTC acted as the single regional provider of all aspects of transit within Metro Toronto.

(Endless pay raises to Hogs along with total neglect of the system has caused us NOT to trust either TTC or Metrolinx Hogs any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It planned, partially funded, built and operated an integrated system of buses, streetcars and subways.

(And TTC and Metrolinx are still planning - but doing nothing except becoming NOTORIOUS for their construction cost over runs and lengthy delays on any job they actually do undertake such as Pearson UP Express!!!!!!!!!)

ON THE MOVE: Metrolinx pushes GTA transit plan forward

(Grand designs we cannot afford are a WASTE of paper and Metrolinx staff time!!!)

Ontario government appoints new chair of Metrolinx

(The Wyyne-bag LIE-beral govt reached a point of anger and frustration over spending scandals at Metrolinx! CHANGE was needed!! The LIE-beral action DID NOT curb the extravagance and HOGS MANDATED ROT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Metrolinx agrees to raises for Amalgamated Transit Union workers
Metrolinx stumbles from crisis to crisis
EDITORIAL: If province taking over subways, Metrolinx must up game

This regional role was a key factor in the TTC’s success during that period.

Today there are ten different transit fiefdoms across the Greater Toronto Area, all with different plans and responding to local political directions.

(LIE-baral Fkae NEWS! Durham Region amalgamated multiple municipal transit systems into one unit - they recognized the need for more effective transit! To bad Toronto is merely fixated on building better excuses for doing nothing till a they find some Leprechaun GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

TTC ridership has flatlined since 2014.

(The combination of increasing unreliability PLUS the fact that most TTC vehicles simply cannot carry more people has forced people to travel in other ways! If LIE berals want us out of cars- they must improve TTC and Go service!! Sadly both TTC and Go are looking for Leprechaun gold to pay for major service improvements!!!!!!)

Established in 2006, the provincial agency intended to coordinate transit services across the GTA, Metrolinx, has strived to deliver on a mandate of “To get you there better, faster, easier” — with limited success.

They are investing tens of billions of dollars on rapid transit projects across the GTA without the authority needed to make the resulting network truly integrated and car competitive.

As a result, congestion is still growing. The car is still omnipresent.

Metrolinx cannot improve rider experience across an area like the GTA with ten largely autonomous, local transit fiefdoms, each delivering different levels of service and competing for funding.

(So the LIE-beral HAS now talked himself into a circle and WANTS SENIOR GOVT- with grwater powers TO TAKE OVER Metrolinx??????????????)

Regional transit authorities are not a new idea — just look at the Massachusetts Bay Area, Chicago, Washington, D.C. or New York City.

The Toronto Regional Board of Trade has called for the creation of a “Superlinx” transit authority for the Toronto region, to centralize planning, funding and decision making for fast-track expansion. This uploading would include all assets, liabilities, planning, fares and real estate development.

(That`s nice- but this “new agancy” MUST NOT be dominated by Toronto Hogs!!!!!!
Toronto ALREADY GETS TEN TIMES MORE in provincial transfers than other municipalities! The ability of other municipalities to improve their own facilities is being hampered by forced gravy transfers to Toronto Hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(This frantic LIE-beral need for better excuses to avoid responsibility while dumping their problems on other levels of govt is the only option LIE-berals can see - with their faces pressed up against the debt wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Obama Urges Canada to Take More Action on Climate Change


http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2019/0...age-at-barack-obamas-calgary-stop_a_23685248/




"Moose right now (have) to deal with tick-borne diseases that they didn't have to do 10, 15 years ago. I really like moose. I assume Canadians, you, do too," Obama said.

"Imagine when you have not a few hundred thousand migrants who are escaping poverty or violence or disease, but you now have millions. Imagine if you start seeing monsoon patterns in the Indian subcontinent changing so that half a billion people can't grow food and are displaced."




Obama touched on two items that petrify Canadians... sick moose and the Canadian Immigration Crisis.

Federal environment minister, Ontario premier spar over carbon tax ahead of April 1 changes

I found this part of the article interesting

McKenna said putting a price on pollution creates good jobs and said clean solutions are a $26-trillion industry.
"If you want good jobs, if you want to grow your economy and position for the future, if you want to make life affordable, then the way we've approached putting a price on pollution is exactly that," she said.
As for fuel costs, she said the federal government anticipates the price of gas will rise by about four cents due to the tax, "which is less than you would see the movement of gas prices sometime in a weekend or in a day."

Is she trying to say the Ford Gov, would miss out on $26 Trillion dollars

Goodale stronghold starting to turn on him I hope he is punted in this election cycle the good he did in the beginning has worn very thin in the last couple of election cycles

Sask. MP Ralph Goodale faces boos, questions on carbon tax and canola at municipalities convention

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities represents many farmers, and many of them aren't on board with the federal carbon tax.
That was, predictably, one of the issues that was put to Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale when he took questions at SARM's annual convention in Saskatoon Wednesday.
The Regina-Wascana MP was booed by delegates at the convention when he was introduced, which prompted SARM president Ray Orb to call for respect for Goodale.
The cabinet minister went on to take questions from delegates, including one about the carbon tax exemption for fuel used on farms. He said that exemption for farmers will be a top priority when the plan comes into effect in Saskatchewan April.
Other comments made to Goodale centred on another concern for farmers: canola exports to China, following that country's ban on imports from Richardson International, Canada's largest canola exporter.
The three leading trade priorities for the federal government are canola, pulse crop issues in India — which has imposed stiff tariffs on Canadian pulses — and steel tariffs, the MP said.
There is currently no Canadian ambassador to China after John McCallum was fired from the post in January.
"We have a very effective chargé d'affaires in China in [deputy head of mission at the Embassy of Canada in Beijing Jim] Nickel, and he is is already dealing with this issue at a very, very professional level," said Goodale.
Minister of International Trade Diversification Jim Carr is expected to meet with SARM delegates Thursday. He will "undoubtedly talk about canola," according to Goodale.
Earlier Wednesday morning, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe addressed the SARM delegates and criticized the federal government for focusing on the internal SNC-Lavalin issue rather than international trade.
Moe also asked earlier this week why Marie-Claude Bibeau, the new minister of agriculture, skipped Saskatchewan during a trip west to tour agriculture sites.
According to Goodale, it was a simple scheduling issue relating to the cabinet shuffle.
"So rather than cancelling those meetings and starting her own all again, she is fulfilling the previous minister's schedule, which had already been prearranged," he said.
"For this particular week, there are at least three federal ministers in Saskatchewan meeting with SARM and travelling to to other places like Prince Albert and Meadow Lake, and other locations around the province to communicate about rural and agricultural issues," said Goodale.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



She specifically referred to a $26 trillion dollar industry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But lost in the detail is the usual LIE-beral fast and loose artistry with facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


First- she is likely referring to Green Spending across the entire globe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And that global number- while large- IS NOT LIKELY anywhere near $26 trillion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And she avoids any discussion of how many govts are going sour on Green Spending and backing away from it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So Climate Barbie is just spewing the usual LIE-beral propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Climate Barbie also refers to the B.C. carbon crap and trade scam and suggests it is working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And I suppose you COULD say it is working...................................


if you think that driving high carbon use industries out of the province.................................


taking their jobs and money with them to another location should be considered as a win for the environment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The LIE-beral carbon crap and trade tax has been FULLY EXPOSED as the gravy grabbing LIE-beral SCAM that it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this really the Green answer to Carbon

Nova Scotia wind turbine catches fire

WEST PUBNICO, N.S. - A towering wind turbine went up in flames Friday at a wind farm located at the edge of a southern Nova Scotia community.
The West Pubnico fire department responded just after 5 p.m. to monitor the rotating blades and make sure flaming debris did not start additional fires on the ground. Fire department chief Gordon Amiro said the fire burned itself out after about an hour, once all flammable materials had burned up. Amiro lives a few kilometres away from the wind farm and said he arrived about five minutes after the call.
The tower, which he estimated at over 90 metres tall, was "all aflame.""It was something we'd never seen, for sure. And we couldn't get near it," he said.
Firefighters were unable to get close enough to put the fire out directly because of the turbine's height and movement of the blades — and it couldn't be turned off with the gearbox on fire.
"It was too dangerous to get close to it," Amiro said. "Because of the length of the blades and the blades were turning, you didn't know where they were going to go when they fell."
The department was stationed a few hundred metres away, watching as material burned off and fell from the turbine, advising curious onlookers from the nearby residential area to keep away.
Amiro said only the frame was left standing when he left the scene.He said the incident could have been worse in summer or early fall when the dry ground is more flammable.
The 17-turbine wind farm is located on the southern tip of Pubnico Point in Nova Scotia's Yarmouth County.
Amiro said the fire was the first he had heard of at the wind farm since it started providing power in the mid-2000s but research suggests fires are a surprisingly common yet underreported challenge facing the wind farm industry.
A 2014 paper from researchers at the University of Edinburgh and Imperial College London found that fires are the second most common accident affecting wind turbines, following blade failure.
The turbines are surprisingly susceptible to fires, given the flammable materials on the body and fuel in the nacelle, or the main gearbox — and once fires catch, they most often destroy the turbine, given the challenges of fighting them from the ground. The researchers noted there are poor statistical records of the phenomenon, however, making research and data collection difficult.
