Jesus Christ. Touch of Gener in there!

Wahooooooooo

Holy fuck...tomorrow is Hockey Day in Canada!!!! who cares about Les Brahs!

So we gave up Deaner and a first rounder for someone we had in the fold previously? I'm going to start planning the parade!

hahhahhaha!

I was lucky enough to accidentally catch the motorcade and it was exactly as Velvet mentioned... Two things.... I was on my way to work when my bus got detoured...I ended up at Lansdowne Park. I need to be at work in 15 minutes so I got off the bus to walk. Came up to the Bank St. bridge and was greeted by an RCMP officer. He was extremely friendly. We started talking, he was in from Montreal for this and will be heading to the Olympics next year. He said the security for the Olympics was nothing compared to this. Anyways the whole time his radio was on and they'd keep announcing where the 'cade was. The officer and I had a great laugh when across the radio was announced "The package is on the hill!" I immediately came out with "that's what she said!" and the cop couldn't stop making "package" comments! Needless...even though the package was already on the hill, I still wasn't allowed to cross. Next, over the radio "a bus has broken through at Hunt Club and the Parkway" the look the cop gave me followed by the laughter from him...Then...out of nowhere making a bee-line south towards the airport a chopper goes screaming by, "look, they are off to get your buddy!" I think the poor RCMP officer was delirious, he said he'd been standing there since 7:30am. So that's my Obama story.

I'd boycott bluesfest if Radiohead played

No thanks

Holy sheepshit batman. 5 in a row!

Can't we just skim the grease off the top?

I was myself, said Hello to everyone, some just looked down and didn't acknowledge me...Nothing out of the ordinary happened, and I haven't heard any stories. I'm on the 2/12 today...that could be a different story. Quick hit....talking to another driver... Guy comes on and shows the driver a penny. "This is what I think your service is worth." Drops it in the box. Driver. "Why'd you do that? You know the service is free today?"

Blizzap! I for one am excited to see all youse! Bring empty bellies....by the sounds of it there's going to be tons of food.

OUch

I guess great minds that tend not to agree, can also think alike. Love ya Todd!

Did you know that if you got downtown to "fight" your ticket, chances are you'll get off "scot-free." No pun intended. Also true for Transit tickets. Same goes for speeding if you go to the Ontario courthouse on Elgin. Also, there was a report sometime last year about out of town parking tickets just torn up, costing the city further millions.

I love lawyer talk.

Schwa hangs out with Tewks?

You want more. The city allocated 100 "extras" a day for the back to work schedule. This is about 100 buses that have not been used on a daily basis. These drivers have had almost no work since we've been back. I've heard that drivers have been sitting around for 8 hours doing absolutely nothing. Why? The buses are in better shape than they had anticipated. Another mistake made by Mercier. They could have easily got away with the normal 40 "extras" they use. The City of Ottawa fucked up HUGE! They could have easily left the schedule the way it was, give us 2, 2, and 2 and this would have never happened.

How so? Fighting yelling and screaming in a city council meeting, flip flopping on the issues? Sending out incentives to the media saying fares would be free until the end of February (see yesterday's Ottawa Sun...it was mentioned 3 times in different articles) Changing December passes good till the end of March till the end of February instead. Sorry you're not laughing, but working with OC for the past 5 years, versing myself quite well in this city's politics, I have never seen anything quite this laughable. PS. The city screwed up our temporary Phase I schedule. We were not to have overtime coming back to work. Guess what. There are over 80 overtime shifts available on Saturdays. Why? A city clerk counted the shifts incorrectly. I'm laughing all the way to the bank. What a joke. Mercier needs to be canned.

Paddock speaks out against Murray and the Players!

Far right looks like Booche.

Hahahahhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa Coffee everywhere.. When does Price quit the Habs?

Citizen's, Taxpayers, and riders all get burned because of the strike. I'll apologize, but in the end, the strike made city council look like a bunch of morons. (again, sorry for posting a "told you so", I am an arsehole that way) Alain Mercier's an idiot. This is fucking hilarious!

Go SENS GO!

City gets fucked again!
