TTC on Strike: Again!
Deja Vu All Over Again: TTC:
Broken Promises is not the way to win the hearts and minds of the Toronto commuters
who rely on the TTC
for work and play. Stranding countless customers with 2 hours notice when the union had promised a 48 hour
lead time just doesn't cut it.
They're in the Money!: Over 700
cops took home more than $100K in 2007. Thanks to legislation Bill Blair has to report all cops
that earn over $100,000 to the TPSB in an annual report. Blair took home $270,052.59 according to
his own figures. Of the 700+ cops 80% of them have a base salary of less than $100.000.
368 uses from 454 Tasers: Every
year Toronto's Police Chief is required to report on the use of these conducted energy weapons, Tasers.
We take a closer look at the report of those on the other side of the Taser. According to Bill Blair
270 of them fit in a category defined in part as "a person who suffers a temporary breakdown of coping skills,
but often reaches out for help". Help! Not a Taser pointed at them!
Coping with Cancer:: Volunteer drivers
from the Canadian Cancer Society one of the positive aspects to this battle. Chauffeur service
to and from radiation and chemotherapy appointments.
