  1. One of my favourites when in the US.
  2. Just the sharp ones like Warren Buffet... he made his fortune doing the exact opposite of everyone else. If everyone is selling he's buying and if everyone is buying he's selling... making a fortune along the way.
  3. STACKED breakfast - gold mine He opened a pizza place but didn't like it and sold it within a year. New guy added Hamburgers and fries, he sold it after 2 years, newer guy trying to keep it going Pizza and burgers Is what he posted... show proof of 3 opened in the year, where when. I don't believe him. As far as it being lucrative. You would know well with all the startup costs the first couple of years would be tough. The food business is tough at the best of times.
  4. BS story from Fail about having a friend that keeps opening new restaurant.... prove your not blowin smoke out your ass... Name these restaurants
  5. Like a toothache Wynnebag won't go away... after all what else could she do that would pay her as much for doing so little. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/you-re-stuck-with-me-wynne-keeps-focus-as-pcs-hike-threshold-for-party-status-1.4186129?fbclid=IwAR3Tlul5v2PG-AtLi-A2M5ooV77i9Q5lGjG44_7_2V1h8GDxR5SWTfBCA8Q
  6. Dumb as a stump... you overdosed on your stupidity today. Public sector wages are higher than warranted. Plain and simple. Supply and demand is everywhere else. Too bad that's a concept you can't understand. Go ahead Fail... show me where they got these raises you claim... oh that's right they didn't and you can't. Thing is Fail the restaurants did cut staff, that's why 50,000 of those minimum wage employees became unemployed in Jan 2018.
  7. I would be fine with mail delivery twice a week or perhaps once a week. It seems my carrier does that already. Perceptions among the neighbours are that he only walks to your door when there is enough to make it worthwhile for him. You go days without anything then suddenly one day your mailbox is filled with a lot of junk mail and a bit of mail, all bearing different dates. I get all my bills electronically.
  8. Dumb as a stump doesn't and never will understand... if an electrical contractor hires 10 electricians but 10 restaurant workers lose their jobs employment levels are just great. Number of jobs didn't go down right Fail. Tell that to the restaurant workers who aren't qualified for the jobs as electricians and are now unemployed. You would make a great politician.... out to lunch.
  9. Dumb as a stump will never get it. Private sector gets paid what the job is worth based on supply and demand based on the skills required for the job and the number of people available to fill that job with the required skills. Public sector is simply grossly overpaid. You contradict yourself as usual Fail... first you ramble on about 20 years of wage freeze for public sector then you suggest private sector hasn't kept pace. Which is it Fail... are you saying public sector got massive wage increases on those very few years they got raises. For private sector to be still well under public sector who had 20 years of wage freezes just think of how grossly overpaid public sector would have to have been those 30 years ago. You know the reference you made to 20 years of wage freezes out of 30. Showing your lack of logic and stupidity is just too easy, More stupidity from the idiot who can't grasp the simple concept of supply and demand. Just like the clowns who took a one or two year computer course at a community college who were deluded to think that qualified them for $70K a year. WRONG.... Well maybe in government. More stupidity from the deluded mind of STILL WRONG Fail. At 7 a.m. on August 3, 1981, the union declared a strike, seeking better working conditions, better pay, and a 32-hour workweek (a four-day week and an eight-hour day combined). In addition, PATCO wanted to be excluded from the civil service clauses that it had long disliked. In striking, the union violated 5 U.S.C. (Supp. III 1956) 118p (now 5 U.S.C. § 7311), which prohibits strikes by federal government employees. After supporting PATCO's effort in his 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan declared the PATCO strike a "peril to national safety" and ordered them back to work under the terms of the Taft–Hartley Act. Only 1,300 of the nearly 13,000 controllers returned to work.[5] Subsequently, at 10:55 a.m., Reagan included the following in a statement to the media from the Rose Garden of the White House: "Let me read the solemn oath taken by each of these employees, a sworn affidavit, when they accepted their jobs: 'I am not participating in any strike against the Government of the United States or any agency thereof, and I will not so participate while an employee of the Government of the United States or any agency thereof.'"[7]He then demanded those remaining on strike return to work within 48 hours, otherwise their jobs would be forfeited. At the same time, Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis organized for replacements and started contingency plans. By prioritizing and cutting flights severely, and even adopting methods of air traffic management that PATCO had previously lobbied for, the government was initially able to have 50% of flights available.[5] On August 5, following the PATCO workers' refusal to return to work, Reagan fired the 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored the order,[8][9] and banned them from federal service for life. In the wake of the strike and mass firings First bold sure seems like the ATC's wanted more money aka raise to me. Second bold, go back to work or be fired. On the third bold... 11.345 were fired. Sure sounds like he caved and gave them all a raise eh WRONG AGAIN FAIL. Were you a glint in daddies eye yet when all this happened? I was around for it. You beat me to posting this.... another scenario where someone far better qualified than Fail didn't get the memo from Fail telling them they were WRONG. He claims people didn't lose jobs and employment went up. What a buffoon. According to a new study by the Montreal Economic Institute, former premier Kathleen Wynne sacrificed the jobs of 56,100 Ontario workers, aged 15 to 24, when she hiked the provincial minimum wage by 21% to $14-an-hour last January. Not only that, but in the restaurant industry, where 70% of the workforce earns at or near the minimum wage, the price of meals rose 5.6% in Ontario, more than three times faster than in other provinces, over the same period. Moreau’s findings are consistent with numerous other studies, including one by the independent, non-partisan Ontario Financial Accountability Office, which in September, 2017 predicted a net loss of at least 50,000 jobs because of Wynne’s minimum wage hikes. She pointed out Ontario lost more than 50,000 jobs in January, 2018, the month in which Wynne’s $14-an-hour minimum wage became effective, and over 80,000 jobs in August, 2018, most of them part-time, countering claims Wynne’s minimum wage hike did not cost jobs. Definitely the experts didn't get Fails memo.... nobody lost jobs and the prices didn't go up.... only in Fail land.
  10. Not for all.... just the overpaid government workers.... they aren't all.... Too bad Trudope is disappointed by cuts to French services in Ontario... what are his thoughts about the almost complete lack of English services in Quebec. After all diversity you know... except for Quebec. A sinking ship that's 2/3 full of water thanks to Wynnebag doesn't get the water bailed out over night. Only you could think 15 years of corruption and waste can be undone over night. Yup... if they have it so bad and are paid so poorly they would leave the public sector for the private sector in droves... but they aren't. Like the federal employees who have been suffering the screwed up payroll system for a long time now. Don't get me wrong... the system is a screw up and they should be paid. The question is why are they still working there and not going elsewhere. Oh that's right. They can't get paid the same for a similar job in the private sector. He doesn't have enough fingers to count up to 20 years. I guarantee for every government worker that quit there would be plenty of people that would do the job for much less. Too bad the union won't let that happen. Private sector has seen pay cuts, job sharing, and more when the company runs out of money. That can only happen in the private sector I guess. In public sector the union says you can't afford the wages.... too bad... raise taxes... pay up or else. We need another Ronald Reagan when he took on the air traffic controllers. Here's what we are willing to pay, you're all terminated and free to apply for the jobs at the new lower pay.
  11. and yet government is STILL paid more than the similar job in the private sector....
  12. Get your head out of your ass Fail and join the real world.... you just don't pay attention do you. It's been all over the news for a while about the scam where people get a call from CRA threatening arrest if they don't pay up on taxes owed and lots of people have fallen for it. You probably saw it but like a lot can't remember it since you saw it yesterday when you were high.
  13. Dumb as a stump Fail keeps blathering on. Myself I let someone else, the dealer sell my vehicle when I trade it in so it's not a worry. They ask me if I'd like to keep the same plates or get new. Do you go to Service Ontario with whoever buys your new sled and change it over Fail. Or how about your boat, do you go to Service Canada with the buyer and change ownership? Something tells me NO.
  14. He just won't get it...never will... incapable of understanding it.
  15. Isn't happening any time soon. Trudope needs to stop pushing his social agenda on China who will repeatedly but politely tell him to stick it. Gender equality and all that stuff. Trudope will be long gone and back to being a snowboard instructor before it even has a glimmer of success. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/john-ivison-when-it-comes-to-china-trudeau-needs-to-stop-lecturing-and-start-selling Trudeau’s idealism has no place in a realistic vision of foreign policy, particularly since the finger-wagging has already proven counter-productive with prospective trading partners Anyone seen this movie before? If not, spoiler alert — the plot-line sees a callow Canadian politician wander wide-eyed into the capital city of a nascent Asian superpower and propose opening his market, as long as said ancient civilization adopts “Canadian values” like labour and environmental protections, gender equity and Indigenous rights. Suffice it to say, it doesn’t end well — they do things differently over there. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/andrew-coyne-why-the-liberals-single-minded-obsession-on-free-trade-with-china
  16. More BS from the pot clouded mind of Fail.... the guy who NEVER gets anything right. Think about it, the plates are transferrable to the new owner, just like a sled. There are lots of people out there that do lots of crazy / risky things. Like all the people who fall prey to the scams demanding money or get arrested for back taxes. How much have you lost to the scams Fail... you must be pretty easy to get one over on with that fogged up head of yours. So you're a duct cleaner?
  17. So how can they if they haven't seen inside the furnace. All they have done is stick a vacuum down a duct. Exactly. If they open up your furnace yes but if they don't get in it, it would be like standing outside and saying you have a problem with your furnace. I read an article recently where someone sold a vehicle, didn't go to the MTO to change it over with the new owner and got hit for 1000's in 407 tolls. They couldn't renew their plates for any of their vehicles until it was paid.
  18. Wrong yet AGAIN. Employed people paying their own way and paying less income tax is a far cry from freeloaders who choose not to work and live off the system. Multi-generation freeloaders.... if it was good enough for mom and dad it's good enough for me. I get free housing, food and enough to buy my beer. What more do I need. Only suckers work for a living... those ones I have a problem with. Of course you don't give any thought to the burden a 33% + increase in labour costs to the employer would be. As for you.... I know you have virtually all day every work day to post here and do lots of other non-work.
  19. Way to go Doug.... keep it up... and fix the screw ups Wynnebag made
  20. More from the FAIL over active imagination...
  21. You aren't never have been and never will be part of the real world. That is unless your overpaid underworked government job gets axed and you have to really go to work. You seem to forget they already had a 23% increase in minimum wage this past year. Only a government lackie can't wouldn't be able to understand the concept of an employers costs going up results in the product or service going up in price. Government pays more they just take more tax money or go further into debt. Business just can't do anything close to that.
  22. Sure is easy to make Trudope look like the idiot he is.
  23. These aren't priorities... they are just real quick easy things to do at the same time as working on the much more intricate significant harder to implement priorities... like no income tax for those earning $30K or less. Yet you whine about the minimum wage not going up. Instead those low income earners have more money in their pockets and it doesn't drive up the cost of everything for everyone else as the employers would have to pass on increased costs to consumers. Go Doug go... $500M off of the Fiberal concealed deficit. Gotta love it. The province is going to review all depts. for functionality, efficiency, what they do, how much of it actually provides any value. I guarantee there's a lot of things done, just because they always did it that way. If you don't produce value you won't be doing it any longer.
