I dont think its negativity, its raising issues to the public. Perhaps TA is not the audience to make something happen on the problem....but it does raise some awareness. |
issues? it's constant rants, not issues:)
i would not believe my eyes if he posted something positive he read/found out about this city |

yeah, it ing sucks.
BUT you have a choice, pay it to ride on it.... or sit in traffic for sometimes HOURS.
for the time being, i choose to pay and ride on it..... until i move to the city, and park the car that is!
(p.s. - i used to bitch about jay's posts.... i like them now.) |
i used to think the same way. And i dont mind paying for it if they tell me the price up front and i agree to pay. Its when i end up with all these bull surprise charges and get scammed, thats when i freak out.
If they said 10 cents a kilometre, the end. Id be fine with it. |

no because you don't post anything constructive either! srsly, if you hate Toronto/Ontario/Canada so much, ing leave! you complain about everything and anything
well this isn't your ranting blog, ffs's. |
i dont hate toronto/canada. I hate what is happening to it. And if everyone who had a problem just gave up, nothing would ever get accomplished would it?
In fact one of my "rants" is about how complacent canadian society has become which is the very reason we keep getting screwed over like this. |

Don't we have enough of paying rising gas prices, sick car insurance fees(plz Ontario gov., do it like they do in Quebec), and now tolls... |
If you're concerned about high gas prices you shouldn't be looking for a Societe D'Assurance Automobile Quebec style auto insurance.... in Quebec your SAAQ premiums are added to your fuel costs. Additionally, you still need to purchase a private auto insurance policy for collision/comprehensive, and if you travel outside the province. Ultimately, you pay way more. |

socialized anything is rarely the way to go when you want to save money.
The best way is properly regulated private sector delivery. But the key is in the balance struck when it comes to regulation.
The 407 is an example of privatization without proper regulation. The P3 hospital deals (which mcguinty kept dispite his "opposition" to them) is a good example of proper regulation when it comes to the private sector |
