Smoke

We have an empty space in one of our rental properties. It has it's own meter, and we are going to convert it to a one bedroom apartment. It has been sitting like this for roughly 2 years and we get a bill for a bit over $40/month AND WE ARE NOT USING ANY ELECTRICITY. It's all delivery, debt retirement and taxes. That's almost a grand we've paid for absolutely nothing from Hydro.

Why, because he thinks they could be treated better with an improved agreement?

Canada's demoralized public service? You are referring to the ones that were dancing merrily in the halls of parliament and cheering when Trudeau Jr. walked by? Those ones? What a joke. You really have lost your mind now that you have become a Liberal. If the overpaid public service, with all their extravagant benefits, who have their own personal Ontario Premier and their own personal Prime Minister, bought and paid for with money that they've extorted out of us taxpayers, are "demoralized", well that's their problem. Wonder how demoralized they'd be if they were someone on disability, or with a fixed income, that are watching their hydro rates jump by $40/month because of that heartless witch Katherine Wynne. Wonder how they'd feel if they had to decide between food or heat? Think they would be demoralized then?

Most of the posts in the comments below were on point.

Waldo you argue so much for the Trudeau's that I am beginning to think you are actually a Trudeau yourself. Would you mind if I start referring to you as Trudeau Jr. Jr.?

Always nice to see gov't. employees getting what some of the people who pay their wages will never get.

Obama: You hang up first! Trudeau: No, you hang up first! Obama: No, YOU! Trudeau: No, YOU! Obama: No, YOU! etc., etc.

First, I have not claimed there's any outrage. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left. Please don't get me wrong Army Guy, I respect what you do and like others, I am always impressed with your (very knowledgeable) insight into the military. However, and once again, to me anyway, it's more of the same old same old.....gov't. employees wanting more and more. The issue of programs and compensation for our military is one thing and memorials are another. Memorials and other forms of symbology are, and always will be, an important part of the Canadian fabric. But I guess we should just cancel them all so we can pay our gov't. employees more. Of course vets would be happier if the money earmarked for a memorial went to them instead. To me, it's not unlike teachers, who complain about the situation that they themselves chose, and the school boards don't have money for supplies because the teachers take the money for increased salaries. We need teachers and we need our military and our police and nurses and firefighters. Yes they are all noble jobs, but they are only jobs nonetheless. Sorry if you find this insulting, but it's the way I feel, and until I see gov't. employees being more responsible in their demands, I will continue to feel that way without the shame that is typically heaped on those opposing gov't. salaries by the left, who in my opinion, make up the bulk of gov't. employees.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

I think the next engineering meeting I attend for our client, I'm gonna where shorts, sandals, a skull cap and a very loud Hawaiian shirt (or maybe my favorite Iggy Pop t-shirt). I wonder if the boss will say anything....

I've eaten in a lot of restaurants, both high end and fast food, and I honestly don't think I've ever seen waitresses wearing high heels. In the strip clubs however....

Yeah but it gets the Liberals lots of votes. Remember when Liberals used to complain all the time about Harper buying votes. I'm sure they will criticize Trudeau Jr. for this, right?

Things went downhill around 1993 when the Liberals started modeling their campaign and attack ads using the methods of their hero, James Carville. That's when the dirty politics really started.

Umm, wasn't it you who hijacked the thread about her passing by talking about her policies? Ohhhh never mind... [minor meltdown]

Yeah, I have no doubt that Sophie is a lot smarter than Justin too! Amazing isn't it?

I agree, kinda like Hillary when Bill was president. Anyone remember her "WE are the president" comments?

Obama knew that Harper was a tough negotiator. He also knows what a pushover the giddy young Trudeau is going to be. He's licking his chops like a dog looking at a t-bone steak.

Like I said, he's a talentless goof.

Not talentless you say. Just try sitting through his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. I don't think you will make it all the way through. I couldn't.
