    1. @Neo AndersonYep. Remember when seeing a Canadian flag didn’t make the person immediately suspect? Miss those days.

    2. @Neo Anderson What does an individual such as yourself even do for a job; I’m thinking something pretty menial….

    3. @RandomAnonamo I look down on anyone flying a canadian flag on their car now, and 2 flags means the driver is a lunatic

  1. Even with the economic inflation, I am very happy to have earned $10,250 on my investment every 15 days 😊.

    1. Same i here, i will praise mr Felix Hartmann over and over again because he has great skills, i started with $2000 and after 2week i received a returns of $6,000 then i continue with him ever since he has been delivering.

    2. I trade with him quite often,and all profit are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to you..

    3. @René Schneider I just looked him up on google and he’s a licensed broker, I am contacting him right away, thanks.

  2. with the threat of voting blocs and removing essential services the govt. cannot bargain with any weight. public service jobs must become contracted positions.

  3. Was initially on CUPE’s side but they have lost my support in these round of discussions. Not that the Ford Govt got any more. But her reason for serving strike notice this time around is ridiculous. A reason never articulated initially and interviews are just more of the same talking points…she should maybe join Lecce and the others at Queens park because the reality is neither party truly cares for kids in school…it just sounds nice for them to say.

    1. Wait, so you supported CUPE during the “we need a raise” part, but stopped supporting them for the “students need more support” part? What? How?

    2. Ya how dare those cupe workers want to keep their sick days, benefits, ensure the kids are safe in class and make a living wage.

    3. If it wasn’t for CUPE reaching a tentative deal, education workers across Ontario would be on strike today. CUPE knows it’s a losing battle dealing with Lecce and Ford so they called off the strike. Personally I hope CUPE members vote to go right back to the bargaining table.

  4. “We’re never going to leave the table” …says the guy who refused to even read the CUPE offers once they’d issued the 1st strike notice….Does he think all Ontarians are stupid and gullible??

    “We’ve demonstrated reasonableness” – Does he forget the notwithstanding clause fiasco??
