Just a minute folks…Doug Ford is our premier. He is not the enemy. Donald Trump is! Today there is no help for fires and a 50% tariff imposed on Canadian products. Well now is the time to “elbows up” and hit Orange man with every thing we can. Cut off electricity, oil, critical minerals ,everything! Trump needs to be taught a lesson, that is what happens when you poke the bull.Come on Canada, are we just going to take this from him, I certainly hope not!
Sad we need machines to clean up after humans. Why can’t humans just be responsible and not litter? Super easy, bring back what you bring in. Fines should be much higher for littering. And for the cigarette smokers who think tossing them out the window isn’t littering? Think again.
I can understand supporting local and small businesses, but consumers work hard for their money. It's not charity for business owners. Nobody owes you their fare because you got here first.Being a business owner is hard, I get it. But this is a free market. When bigger competition shows up, the answer is to adapt and overcome, to sharpen your pricing, your service, your local advantage. Not lobby the city to keep competitors out and hope you fly under the radar.If you're going to gatekeep, do it with a service worth choosing. Not by lobbying to keep the competition out.
My son-in-law is a forest firefighter. He works 19 days on, 2 days off in fire season. Super dangerous job, sometime even when it isn't the fire. A couple of years ago, they couldn't stay on site overnight to fight a fire because of a Polar Bear lingering in the area. They jump out of helicopters from 15 feet in the air with full equipment. Lug equipment through virgin forest to get to sites. Work in bug-infested swamps in extreme heat wearing PPE. They deserve all the pay they can get.
I would be ashamed to be trying to take advantage of an emergency situation like this to force my agenda. OPSEU and their members need to learn to read the room. It’s not the time.
Not a fan of Trump at all, but he has a fantastic point in the fact we’ve never started experiencing drastic fires until the last 5 years roughly and we should be implementing a better preventative measures to not let fires out of control to the point half our country is maxxed out on the air quality index, something surely needs to change
Remember, some of these American good ol boys are toeing the D J Trump line. as they are part of his shenanigans and gong show. They have the same mentality of, "Mouth in motion, before mind in gear." Similar to their illustrious and delusional leader. Next time there is wildfires or ice storms in the USA....DO NOT SEND CANADIAN HELP. Do you see them helping us with the forest fires? No just their idiotic criticism for small minded minions.
Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. We are highlighting and praising a machine that picks up after people who behave disgustingly rather than educating and if that doesnèt work shaming them.
Competition is good for everyone. It keeps current companies on their toes and forces them to find ways to stay in the race. The result is the customer gets some choices and perhaps more competitive rates.
