SUNSET CLAUSE

Well Stephen Harper "aka Baby Bush"got shot down again in the House of Commons today There should be a SUNSET CLAUSE on redundant and repetitive governments as Stephen Harper's government has become. .A majority of M.P's have voted four times against the current govenment on four differant bills ,these M.P's were elected by the people of Canada,so why are the Conservatives not listening ? Did not Stockwell Day go to China to check on a Canadian citizen jailed without charges and held illegality?The anti- terrisom bill does that here in Canada so why has Canada become a Hyprocrite? This is why a majority of M.P's voted against this bill!The people have spoken Stephen Harper your on way out and hopefuly you will take your hand me down MIKE HARRIS CABINET WITH YOU!

CUTTING EDGE OR BULLSHIT !

David Bradley of the Ontario Trucking Association would lead people to beleive most of his ideas are cutting edge!Let's look at some of his brain storms"speed limiters the purpose for this is driver retention"his first press release clearly stated this will "LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD" IF THIS STATEMENT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH SAFETY I WISH SOMEONE WOULD EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!Electronic On Board Recorders Mr Bradley clearly stated if these were used on a limited basis for repeat offenders of Hours of Service this would be unfair, EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE E.O.B.R. WELL EXCUSE ME MR.BRADLEY NOT EVERYBODY NEEDS ONE !MAYBE THIS HAS TO DO WITH LEVELING THE ABOVE MENTIONED PLAYING FIELD!MAYBE IF DRIVERS AND OW/OP'S WERE PAID DECENT WAGES AND RATES WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO CHEAT ON H.O.S ! Finaly Mr.Bradley stated due to the fuel shortage in Ontario truckers should be allowed to use farm fuel which is higher in sulpher content !Da what would that do to newer engines that requir

THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS ?

This keeps replaying in my head maybe it's watching our parliament in action key story line "you were in government for thirteen years what did your government do ? THIS IS THE STORY LINE FROM OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ,IT NEVER CHANGES IF YOU ASKED HOW TO CURE A HANGNAIL THAT WOULD THE OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM OUR CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT!STEPHEN HARPER'S GROUPIES SITTING IN THE BACKGROUND NODDING THEIR SUPPORT WHILE HE SLANDERED A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS WHAT ARROGANCE . WHEN WILL THIS GOVERNMENT QUIT BLAMING THE INACTION ON KEY ISSUES ON THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENTS ? <" GET TO WORK AND DO YOUR JOBS INSTEAD OF BLAMING EVERYBODY ELSE">

WOW DAVID BRADLEY SETS ANOTHER FIRST !

David Bradley of the Ontario Trucking Association asked the Ministry of Environment if it would be all right if Ontario truckers use Farm Diesel which is high in sulphur content due to the rumored fuel shortage here in Ontario ! It is nice to see Mr Bradley looking out for ordinary truck drivers NOT NOT ! Worried about Ontario's economy if trucks can't find fuel to deliver their cargo's ! Not worried about the damage that could be done to newer engines that require low sulphur diesel fuel ! MORE WORRIED OVER THE POTENTIAL LOSS TO O.T.A MEMBERS IF THEY ARE FORCED TO SHUT DOWN DUE TO FUEL SHORTAGES? JUST PROVES MY POINT MORE THE POWERS TO BE ARE SCARED OF TRUCKS SHUTTING DOWN ! DAVID YOU SHOULD PUT YOUR AMBITIONS GETTING HIGHER RATES AND WAGES FOR THE HARD WORKING MEN AND WOMEN WHO ACTUALLY KEEP THE ECONOMY MOVING! EITHER THAT OR O.T.A MEMBERS SHOULD INVEST IN A MUZZLE FOR YOU SO YOU DON'T KEEP PUTTING YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH !

C.N. STRIKE

It's funny C.N. RAIL workers go on strike Ottawa is going to order them back to work ! Would such an order have any effect ? Not likely!Chysler lays off a bunch of workers its on the agenda in Ottawa several times major catastrope !Truck drivers can shut down any auto plant in the country in a matter of hours (THANKS TO JUST IN TIME DELIVERY) BUT WE CONTINUE TO BE TREATED AS SECOND CLASS CITIZENS WHY ?Because truck drivers will not stick together,we have the power to shut the North American Economy down "LETS USE THAT POWER!

A CASE FOR A SPEEDLIMITER ?

Last night The Fifth Estate aired a segment on a middle aged male from Guelph,Ontario aggressive driving tactics<> he constantly drives well over the posted speed limit in excess of 160 KPH has received numerous speeding tickets and is quite proud of his actions!With all the talk of speed limiters these days I would say that an individual like should have a speed limiter placed on his vechicle ,speed limiters do have a place but should be used as administration tools when people do not have the common sense to control their own actions and place others in danger !! THERE ARE MANY MORE DRIVERS OUT THERE OPERATING VECHICLES IN THIS SAME MANNER AS THIS INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM AN ADMINISTRATED SPEED LIMITER. why not use it in cases like this ?
