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.
