  2. Not sure he knows the difference between the words.
  3. The Sens got rid of the hockey chicks....wonder why? It was also funny because the dudes that took out the net and such during intermissions had to wear hard hats....but the broads didn't!
  4. Gerber starts. Lee and Zubov back to the bigs.
  5. EUGENE! EUGENE! Time to shake up this mess! Shaun Van Allen for GM!
  6. The city initiated the "spare board rules" during our last strike to try and save them money. It backfired, and they want to take it back. The 97 agreement... It's amazing how much we have given up since then. The following news article is from the Ottawa Citizen web site at > http://www.ottawacitizen.com/online/1996/dec17/cit/cit5/cit5.html > gives details about the ending of the OC Transpo strike. > Tuesday, December 17, 1996 > Buses set to roll on Thursday > Deal highlights > Wages: Pay increase of two per cent in 1998 and 1.3 per cent in 1999. > Buyouts, bonuses: $1.8-million surplus in benefits fund gives all > members $300 signing bonus.

  7. Or this guy: Dieter Doneit-Henderson And I agree, that driver who nearly hit the picketer should have gotten a medal for what he did! They have no god damn right obstructing City Hall's other operations and that of the Courts of Ontario! Hopefully more drivers act erratically like this and maybe, just maybe, they'll be too afraid to picket, like they are now...Hence why the left the downtown core...I wasn't the only one who shouted as I drove past with my window down!
  8. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA... On the floor!
  9. and hilarious the second AD...CMON get a grip man! I have a city park across the street from me...Maybe I'll set up a picket line there and not let anyone use the sidewalk!
  10. Have you been out on the picket line yet dinghy? Nope...still, no rides or buses People are already getting hurt. On the news last night they showed the 5-oh pulling some woman out of her car for trying to run the picket line.
  11. But he want to ensure there is a minimum level of work. Booking 6 hours to get paid 8 is VERY rare...maybe 5 to 10 operators.
  12. I think I'm negative in all positions.... Including doggystyle
  13. That hour of television was the funniest I've seen in a while. Christ....What were Dwight's 5 rules for intervention again? Number 5 was punching!
  14. Is it just me or does this make no sense. A minimum level of work...I don't understand. They tried that out for one booking on the weekends, and have since removed it because it wasn't beneficial. Not sure if he understands.
