I'm not anti-establishment, but is it my fault the establishment are a bunch of thieves, liars and crooks? Those who don't fit that description are to ineffectual to notice. Douchebags all of them, Dr. DAS for Mayor.

...maybe I'll have more success if I run under Dave...

The unions are a significant part of the reason why Toronto is in a difficult shape financially.

Union contracts are crippling the city and the privatization of key city functions would drastically reduce Toronto's capital budget.

Blaming unions is too easy.

We must blame the monopolistic attitude of the unions toward work, when they don't want anyone else (private sector) doing a job.

An exemple: a new road must be built, unionized city workers come up with a bid for job to be done, private sector players can do the same, and the best offer wins.

Unionization isn't the plague, its the meonopolistic application of it that causes troubles in our cities.

Unions are like an abacus. Revolutionary in thier time, useful for a while, obselete in today's world. I am NOT a fan. I'm lucky enough to work in an industry that is an even mix of open and closed shops and I can tell you from every one of my dealings with unions (there are several players) that they are princesses with a serious sense of entitlement...believing that they are (or should be)in control of everything, at the expense of everyone. I quote one of the great philosiphers of our time, Ash from Evil Dead, "You're in charge of two things, Jack and Shit - and Jack just left town."
