Who Buys a stroller worth stealing?
Re: Who steals a stroller? April 2, 2015
The classic umbrella stroller for only $19.99--easily replaced if stolen, or, quite simply, not likely to be stolen. Folds up and easily fits into any trunk, even those new, popular Fiats. For $980 savings, 140 Persephone Red Ale growlers could be purchased. Most importantly, it would force modern, urban parents to leave every possible infant product at home, forcing our youth to face the world without the comforts of blanket, soother, favourite stuffy, organic wipes, wipes warmer, baby sunglasses, bathroom baby harness, baby bum fan, and the ever popular breast-feeding simulator harness.

Taking ‘talk radio’ too far
I just switched radio stations to a new one who recently rebranded their name and for the most part, they are great. The morning crew are hilarious and put a smile on my face every day. They annoying part is that most of the other radio hosts talk over the intro to songs all the time. I like to hear the whole song not some host yapping through the beginning. Learn timing you goof.
I did email them but never heard back. Too bad. I’ll switch back to my other station if they don’t smarten up pretty quick.

Transit Q & Eh?
I’m in favour of better transit, but I voted NO in the transit referendum. Why? Because they’re asking the wrong question! The mayors’ council had agreed that the carbon tax should be increased, and tolls should be placed on bridges and roads (“user pay” is only fair) – but Victoria overruled them because it was too afraid of offending their wealthy friends by asking them to pay their fair share.
Why shouldn’t drivers pay for better transit? They’re the ones causing the congestion – not some guy sitting on a bus trying to get to UBC. Why should he have to pay even more for improvements?
I have to laugh at drivers who want better transit, which they won’t use – but they hope all the other drivers will so they can find parking spaces faster and avoid traffic jams. They really need to get a clue.

BE-Progressive. B-E-Progressive!
Grant McLaren thinks we should ‘privatize’ Translink, the same way BC Liberals/Socreds have privatized hospital services, senior care homes, BC Rail, etc… All so we can create more profit for some corporate greedster, pay workers below poverty levels & provide substandard levels of service to the customer?
Translink, the executive that administers it not withstanding, does a great job considering the immense size of the system it manages, all while being handcuffed by that same Translink Board (BC Liberals).
If anything Translink should be handed back to BC Transit, let the province finance & be responsible for transportation, as it is supposed to be. Premier Christie ‘Crunch’ created the over-paid Translink Board, she should pay for it as well.
Regardless, voting NO is a step backwards. Not everyone uses the transit system, but everyone benefits from it.
Vote YES, be progressive, not regressive.
