Please, if you're going to respond, skip the condescending emoticons, it sounds like you have half decent points, but then make a jerk out yourself with this roll-eyes crap. Act like an adult and save the emoticons for a less respectable board.

It is not my intent to be a jerk....however, when I have to explain things over and over again to the same person...it gets a little frustrating. I am not the only one that uses those things, I am pretty sure almost everyone has used them.

I watched the interview the union head had on Global, he made it sound as if the vehicles belonged to the union to do with as they like. - strange.

Normally I would be all over in support of the Unions but I can see the road this goes down and 9/10 times I wont like it.

Like I said earlier, if council wants to take them away from us in Edmonton, I'll put my own on. And what are they honestly going to do about it? Send management to take them off? I doubt it.

Correct me if I am wrong...but didn't Edmonton council approve to have them put on?

Yeah, I am just saying that if the decision happened to be reversed for whatever reason.
