This post has more investifative reporting than the editor and "journalist"in the Spec.
Also, don’t forget to sign petition e-6879! Don’t be distracted by the fact that the biggest imposition on your quality of life is by billionaires who are winning the class war:
4·4 months agoAlright silly question, but how do I vote for a party leader in this election? I’ve received a plethora of emails about who to vote for, but not much about the process of how.
3·4 months agoIf you don’t want to be the bad guys, then don’t act like it. This is what soft power fading looks like.
America is in for a hell of a ride the next ten years. If I was American, I’d be out every day, because foreigners only go by what they experience and feel every day, and when you’re overseas, well…
Let’s just say I wouldn’t feel safe leaving the bubble of the ol’ Red, White, and Blue.
After years of the NDP playing weak and rather performative politics, I’m glad to see aggressive and blunt political messaging.
The NDP catered to some leftist bourgeoise and left the working class in the dust. It always needed to be a party of ushers, not gatekeepers, and the kind of righteous individualism needs to make way for collectivism. People have forgotten that banding together powerless people with discrete experiences against power and subjugation is the only answer right now. Its what the Carney speech got completely right.
I agree with this comment on unions AND contractors (though not all). I think the problem is when service becomes a game or grift and not actually being efficient.
City of Toronto was one of the worst performing unions in most sectors and stank of corruption and over employment, and then on the other side you have MetroLinx which has been one of the biggest wastes of money a government has ever seen.
Then on the flip side you have Parks Canada and the National Archives doing amazing work with limited budgets.
I know with Toronto the culture came from the top, but these days I think contract farming and middle management bloat is what is really killing efficiency.
Also let the damn people work from home.
