When, in the history of unionism have the unions not stuck together?? If there was ever a communistic group, it is unions. How does that song go ? solidarity forever ?? Good for one, good for all LOL

Huh??? I said anyone and everyone can question authority. What is your post about??

Why would you even talk about or even bring up trudeau as this is solely an Ontario issue?? He has nothing to do or say about this. Stay on topic.

You should know by now that there are several here that will do and say anything and twist and deflect and change subject and otherwise disguise so that they can keep on perpetuating their position

I justify nothing. Is it so impossible to have an intelligent non confrontational on topic conversation with you?? Every post you make is dramatic and inciting argument.

There ya go. You have no idea what transpired and when the guy was questioned, under oath, he did not whine like you are now.

On the contrary, anyone and everyone can question authority. The ones that become conspiracy theorists are the ones that pull out flaky videos, facebook pages and when debated, just pull out more and more to bulk themselves up or start to call others names and insult. Their credibility is gone and the conspiracy tag takes hold.. Everyone can and should question authority but, they should also know an understand when their point is made. An effective critic is one that does not drag out their position for months and years.

Sorry for using an old phrase but it basically means that you will get what you deserve. Normally meaning you get worse for what you did but can also be used meaning get a lot cause you are great. In my intent, it was meant the former. I was unaware that some have never heard that phrase.

This is an opinion post and the guy uses the Union contracts facts, he has it linked. For sure the use of notwithstanding clause is over reach. Thing is, they went out in Friday anyway. Lets see how far he is willing to go with his power now.

Here are some facts: "Ford has been cutting education, a false premise - In the 2017-18 school year, there were 125,980 teachers plus 9,054 early childhood educators overseeing 2,020,301 students. Now we have 130,923 teachers, plus 10,072 early childhood educators for a student population of 2,025,258. We’ve gone 16.1 students per teacher in 2018 to 15.4 last year and the government is still hiring more people. In 2017-18, the total education budget was $29 billion, it’s now more than $32 billion with spending increasing every year and hiring increasing every year as enrolment is flat. CUPE’s initial ask was for 11.7% annual increases for three years, the government’s offer was 2% per year for four years. The government came up to 2.5% for the lowest paid workers and 1.5% per year for those making less than $43,000 per year. the idea that CUPE workers only earn $39,000 a year, that is utterly false. It depends on the job, the skill level and whether the worker is full-time or part-time. CUPE has a lot of part-time workers who, according to their contracts, work six hours a day for 194 days a year. Once holidays, PD days and March Break are factored in, that’s a 10 month-a-year part-time job. This is why hourly wages are the better comparison. The maintenance staff represented by CUPE in the Toronto District School Board earn between $20.82/hour for a part-time cleaner, up to $42.23/hour for a building automation specialist. Head caretakers earn between $30 and $35/hour."

Ontario has the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90e09

Please,in his own testimony and evidence presented, he is far form an ordinary guy,. He had multiple websites, multiple tiktok and facebook posts espousing racism, hate for muslims and asians. And he set up his own fund to collect money for himself. He made fun of it when questioned by a lawyer. He had cajones for sure. He fooled a lot of people.

"Just deserts" meaning for your edification : A punishment or reward that is considered to be what the recipient deserved. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/just_deserts "Was held" until it was discovered what kind of person he really is. As I said, the other convoy leaders learned it and wanted him out. Sorry, autocorrect in action, was supposed to be "colleague" and "disappeared"

I am not going to get into what trudeau is or isn't. I really do not care and he will eventually get his just deserts. Thing is, Pat King is not held to a higher standard. His racist hate mongering videos and rants were shown at the inquiry. He is a bad apple. His convoy colleges realized it and wanted him to dispensary. He is not the hero you and some others on this forum tried to make him out to be. His colleague leaders and the inquiry have really painted him as bad seed and wished he had nothing to do with the convoy.

Owww, profound retort? NOT

Now there is an oxymoron LOL

Can happen to everyone. Possibly the stupidest retort to ever come from your keyboard LOL

Ha Ha Ha ...Preston Manning... Reform Party??? LOL Go for it Preston. Ha Ha Ha

I have one. Been together for many decades. In real life, not an internet affair.

Yeah, ya gotta keep stroking each other LOL

Ha Ha Ha... can you suck up any more LOL LOL LOL

There you go again.....a part time low rank whatever blowing smoke. I live in Ottawa, all the rest of you that know everything are hundreds if not thousands of kms for here and get your info from each other or social media.

Tsk, tsk ,tsk. You folks are funny. You are now realizing the screw ups of the entire event, from the protesters side as well as the police side and you cannot accept it so, attack the person that shows you what its being said. You are realizing it was not what it seemed to be. The people are being asked questions and are answering under oath. The police admitted their screw ups and miscommunication and lack of confidence and, the protesters are also describing their lack of organization, leadership problems, communications problems and personal problems. Suck it up folks, it was a cluster form beginning to end. No one wins here.

Making what up?? That they doled out envelopes of cash to unidentified people?? From the million dollars Lich put in her personal account? Wrong, that is what the communications guy testified under oath. Oh and the 209 accounts frozen did not occur until the EMA was enacted.

Chuckle, You too are caught in your ill aimed support. Now attacking me for your misguided praise and hero worship. Chuckle.
