Ottawa’s “embattled” City Council met into the wee hours of the night discussing the ATU’s latest proposal. Undoubtedly putting back urns of coffee, chain-smoking cigarettes and ordering in pizza from Lorenzo’s..
OK – they likely weren’t smoking.
Which they essentially turned down by presenting a , uh, counter-offer.
And yes, I fully expect the union to turn down the counteroffer and we’ll be no further ahead – leaving Canada’s Capital City once again without transit for the foreseeable future.
This reminds me of a game that little boys play when they stand side by side to see who has the most, um, “distance” – if you get my drift. It is a game better appreciated in the winter where the lengths of the yellow tracks in the snow are easier to compare.
So what next? Like I said, I don’t expect the ATU to go along with the City – but I hope I end up eating my words.
But remember – never eat yellow snow, eh?

No censorship whatsoever.
That wasn’t even a counter-offer. It was just more digging in of the heels except with an arbitrator. Would you censor me if I just said “fuck” right now?
