M.Dancer Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 How can you put all the blame on Harris? Doesn't Toronto deserve the blame for any of their own actions? Yes. Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
DFCaper Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Miller did a TERRIBLE job looking out for his citizens during the strike. I can't believe he filled the parks with garbage and did nothing to prevent the HUGE delays at the dump sites. It is on these two points he seemed to be a HUGE union sympathizer. Toronto was a mess almost immediately. Miller is just lucky the Mayor of Windsor never got much more press, as he demonstrated what a Real leader does as a mayor. He cleaned out the dump sites with a private company every night, etc. Wait times were far shorter. Just another reason to never live in TO. Miller must be the only person capable of becoming mayor that can make Lastman seem somewhat competent.

OddSox Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 ...and the workers (I use that term loosely) are now being paid overtime to clean up their own mess! http://www.financialpost.com/related/links...html?id=1883169 Quote
Guest RCSB Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Well the strike is pretty much history but one thing I’ve noticed lately is that those big blue bins really stink and they’re on the street all day unlike plastic bags which were gone once the truck went by. Another nice touch is that many people have nowhere to store the bins so they (the bins) sit around and stink up the place really nicely all week long. As for Miller, I think Adam Vaughan should be his replacement - that little twerp could pick up right where Miller left of and then really run the place into the dirt. Hopefully, they’ll create more bike lanes and take down the Gardner soon - that should be hilarious. Quote

Guest RCSB Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 ...that's your raison d'etre - whine, whine, whine Garbage strike didn't effect me at all - some nameless company just take ours away and they can stick it wherever they want to thereafter. As for the bins, I've noticed, when driving through some areas of the city, that the stench from them is quite remarkable and it seems to be around even on non-collection days. Toronto always wants to be "world class" and being up to your ass in garbage is certainly world class when considered on aggregate so yeah, it looks good on them. I'm not whining - just laughing.

Bonam Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 whine when the strike started; Shouldn't have been a unionized work force to begin with, then they wouldn't strike. whine when it ended; Damn mayor shouldn't have caved in. whine when Lastman runs for help; whine when Miller settles it himself Both shoulda just fired the whole union and contracted out garbage disposal to a private firm. Clearly both took the wrong approach, whether running for help or settling themselves. whine that it lasted 37 whole days 37 days of garbage rotting in the city? Clearly unacceptable. Why didn't they hire a private company to take the stuff out in the meanwhile? whine that it's too short If the union members didn't lose their homes and starve, then clearly the strike was too short. The city shouldn't have let them come back to work even if they wanted to. whine about trucking garbage to Michigan We should be self-reliant. What if Michigan stops wanting to take the garbage? whine when we get our own landfill site Landfills are ugly and damage the environment. We should burn the garbage for energy, while sequestering the emissions. whine about having to recycle and compost Such activities are not worth the time and hassle. Besides, recycling can take almost as much, if not more, energy than making a new product. And compost can be a health hazard, not to mention it can be smelly and unsightly. whine about how stinky the garbage is Do you disagree? It does stink, after all. whine about no place to put our garbage If we had enough places to put it (or burn it) then no one would whine. whine about the place to put our garbage Clearly, they could have put it somewhere better. whine about budget deficits Government should have managed the money better. Irresponsible spending. whine about budget surpluses Taxes must be too high if they are having a surplus. Shoulda cut them rather than overtaxing the people. whine, whine, whine Mission accomplished.

Oleg Bach Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 I'm pointing out that you sound like a petulant spoiled brat whose TV privileges have been canceled and is blaming his situation on his parents and not his own stupidity. That's common - like one of my kids saying, "Dad it's your fault" - when if they wanted to achieve their dreams all they had to do was do the work. You want a classy house - a place of order - scrape the food off the plates and do the dishes...If not the dishes - then at least contain things - garbage goes in garbage - NOT THE SINK. Is it because my father was a military man - is that why I like order - and now because of that - I'm the bad guy ----but if the younger generation were left to their own devices they would die from kidney failure due to a bacterial infection. Yes the kids are stupid these days - and they have been taught not to recieve their inheritance of common sense from parents..Our schools and courts insist that our kids stay stupid. Quote

Ha ha, sounds like me lecturing my kids about behaving like a mining company leaving their mess for the public to clean up. ...or like the people whining about the stinking garbage when all they had to do was practise separating the recyclables and food scraps from the real garbage. I'm pointing out that you sound like a petulant spoiled brat whose TV privileges have been canceled and is blaming his situation on his parents and not his own stupidity. Nice try. Now you're whining about (not the strike)...me!! I didn't have any problems with the strike or its outcome at all. Edited August 21, 2009 by daniel Quote

That's the point. If people had done what they should have done, the garbage would have been much smaller and would not stink at all. But people are makers of their own destiny and prefer to just whine about it. Quote

Oleg Bach Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 I well believe that. My ten year old was equally oblivious to both. Nor did I have a problem with the strike it's out come. I did have a problem with the prolonging of the strike for political reasons..that was abusive of the populace - anyone willing to abuse the people to stay elected is not to be elected again. Quote
Guest Oldcrow Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 Windsor is still picking left over Garbage from there last strike. I think something like 16 weeks.. Mayor Francis refuses to give any overtime to them.. Windsor stunk to high heaven and looked like a garbage dump! Haven't been to Toronto in quite awhile, so I camn imagion how it looks and smells.

M.Dancer Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 !Haven't been to Toronto in quite awhile, so I camn imagion how it looks and smells.
