Jim in the Great White North

Stevie Harper reminds me of another Blow hard from the West,John Difenbaker former prime minister who in his wisdom cancelled the AVRO ARROW project which threw thousands of Canadian workers out of work,but helped the U.S.A. raid our job force to develope the Modern day N.A.S.A.All on the say so of a U.S. president yes people we do not need a state of the art fighter jet,you need state of the art Made in the U.S.A missles ,sucker shot by the U.S.A.Point we have tar sands lets rape Canada to satisfy The U.S.A. sure we create jobs but in the long run who profits?

I would like to apologize for naming identifying factors in a previous post which I have taken off my blog. I am sorry to those individuals who privacy may have been compromised in my doing so. So I ask that they please accept my apology for this.

TOPIX FORUM IS NOW FULL OF POSTS CALLING A NATIONAL WIDE TRUCK STRIKE FOR APRIL 1 2008.This action is being called fo over escalating fuel prices,rates and wages not keeping pace with fuel prices.As a truck driver I feel this would be a much needed action,keep in mind Ontario/Quebec are on the verge of passing speed limiter laws which will further erode the earning power of drivers/ow/op alike.The general public does not realize if all trucks stopped deliver goods and services the economies of both the U.S.and CANADA would implode within a few days."IMPOSSIBLE SORRY TO BURST YOUR BALLOON ALL CONSUMER GOODS IN BOTH COUNTRIES ARE ON A TRUCK AT SOME POINT ON THEIR WAY TO CONSUMERS."A small group of drivers/ow/op's successfuly shut down major border points in North America in the late 80's this shut down was starting to effect the economies of both the US/CANADA.Governments on both sides of the border we're quick to pass laws ,that would include the use of force to re

On the eve of the release of The Ontario Budget Jim Flaherty chose to hold a news conference hoping to sway the tone of the budget,being a former provincal finance minister Mr Flaherty knows full well the budget was drafted before his press realease today.So is there another motive for his frequent press releases that continuly critize and demean the economy of Canada's most populous province,"COULD IT BE HE IS TRYING TO FOCUS THE MEDIA'S ATTENTION AWAY FROM SENSITIVE MATTERS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL{CHUCK CADMAN AFFAIR OR THE BRENDA MARTIAN SCANDAL OR OTHER SCANDALS}?JIM FLAHERTY AS ONTARIO'S FINANCE MINISTER LEFT A 5.6 BILLION HIDDEN DEFECIT IN HIS WAKE!THIS WAS AFTER HE SAT ON THE BOARD THAT NEGOTIATED THE SALE OF THE 407 WE ALL ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR THAT SALE!ANOTHER WELL KNOWN FORMER ONTARIO CABINET MINISTER TONY CLEMENT WHO NOW SITS ON THE HARPER TEAM WAS ALSO MOST LIKLEY SITTING AT THE TABLE WHEN THE 407 WAS SOLD AND YET THEY BOTH CLAIM THEY LEFT ONTARIO IN GOOD

#1 REASON THIS LAW IS NOT GOING TO WORK***SPEED LIMITERS WILL NOT WORK IN ONTARIO 401 IS THE MOST TRAVELED HIGHWAY IN NORTH AMERICA.TO THINK THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS PER DAY WILL REMAIN IN THE RIGHT LANE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION(as the self proclaimed guru of trucks David Bradley claims is a pipe dream)AND IF THEY DO REMAIN IN THE RIGHT LANE HOW ARE ALL THOSE COMMUTERS SUPPOSED TO ENTER AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY WITH A SOLID LINE OF TRUCKS FORTY MILES LONG ALL IN AN ORDERLY FASHION IN THE RIGHT LANE?#2 MOST DRIVERS/OW/OP'S ARE PAID MILAGE/PERCENTAGE "LESS SPEED/"LESS TAKE HOME PAY SO THESE COMPANIES ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STEP TO THE PLATE RAISE WAGES WHICH IN TURN RAISES RATES BOTTOM LINE END CONSUMER PAYS MORE.GO AHEAD PASS YOUR LAW AND I WILL GLADLY IMPEDE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND I MAY NOT BE IN THE LEFT LANE TO DO IT IF ONE SITS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND SIMIPLY PACES THE TRUCK BESIDE HIM/HER AFTER ALL WE WILL BOTH BE SET AT 105 YOU SURE CAN FUCK UP TRAFFIC.SO WHEN YOUR LATE FOR THAT HI

You want free labour for your company just call a truck driver!We will not only deliver your load but if requested(or forced by your company we will not only sort,break down pallets if stacked to high for your likeing or as a last resort we will gladly pay for a lumper out of our own pocket).We activety support the underground economy by paying lumpers cash,so they don't have the inconvience of paying taxes or your company has to make all the payroll deductions.Why in this day and age drivers/ow/op are still falling for this is beyond me.Futher the D.O.T should step make illegal for drivers/ow/op to spend hours doing manual labour because some company is too cheap to hire somebody to unload a truck or too dumb to tell the shipper to only put 5 boxes high to the skid instead of 8 or only 1 product per skid.Gordon Food Service,Milton,Ontario,Skor Foods Concord,Ontario Loblaws,Toronto,Ontario

The O.P.P. patrols the 407 these patrols include enforcing the highway traffic act,speeding,accidents etc.This is reasonable but what I can't understand is why a taxpayer funded police force is in fact collecting tolls for a privately held company?The O.P.P. watch for heavy trucks not displaying a transponder and will stop and ticket them.Collection of tolls would be a civil matter,so how does our provincal government justifiy a taxpayer funded police force collecting tolls for a private company.Taxpayers should be actively contacting their M.P.P.'s and asking them why their tax dollars are helping a private company to collect tolls!
