The best people should be hired for the job regardless of race.
If it's not diverse, so be it. |

| You made up that I was "willing to label every single manager at CP as toxic and expendable". You keep laughing...I will keep laughing until you come back to reality. I suspect I will be laughing for a very long time...or you just show me where I said "every single manager at CP is t... |

| They took out a multi-billion dollar loan to primarily buy machines to process the lettermail - the part of the business which is shrinking. If they hadn't done that, the profits would be through the roof. But they still have to process the mail. You can't just ignore aging equipment. That's a sill... |

DrCaleb DrCaleb:
I'm kind of on the fence too. Open carry has the advantage of nothing being hidden, but also can seem confrontational. Conceal carry seems less confrontational, but also slightly more menacing.
And it makes you feel like you have a bigger dick when you open carry.  |

| 6 busses past this guy, all accessible, but there was "no room" for him despite areas on the bus designated for this. Have you even been on a TTC bus in the last few years or so? I took it to work for four months a couple times when I was between cars and still living at my previous addre... |

| Especially at a stop marked for wheelchairs. Is that what happened? I can't find that in the article, and damned if I can make that video play. In Vancouver there are wheelchair accessible shuttle-buses, but they don't look anything like the Bus being stopped in the picture. And there's a special p... |

I fully support him or anyone that wants to get on the bus. Waiting 90 minutes is outrageous! Especially at a stop marked for wheelchairs.
Further, someone on any one of those 6 busses should have moved out of the designated area for the chair. |

| It's valid when THEY screw up and still get their bonuses yet say that the belt-tightening has to be done on the front line. How have they screwed up? The company is in the red. It is taking things from the current workforce. I have seen the offers personally. I will assume that you have only seen ... |

| The amount that execs make DOES matter when they are arguing costs/sustainability and what is "fair" like their spokesperson is always saying in the media. What's fair for one worker in 1 job isn't the same for another. Trying to compare two different people in different jobs isn't a vali... |

| The union just organized that group in 2004. They didn't gain anything under Harper and neither did any working person. So, it would be fair to say that they have been 'frozen' since they became CUPW members. So they negotiated the contract with the previous Liberal government and somehow, this lan... |

25 people and not a single person saw the shooter? Yea right.
Now the group will blame the police for not doing enough to find the shooter. |

Maybe you have low standards when it comes to organizations reporting the 'news'. I measure my news by its accuracy. I don't even care if it's YOU reporting it to me so long... |
