Gonna be ugly next week in the BC lower mainland if transit goes full shutdown. I hope they figure something out.

I have been puzzling over what to do to improve driver safety though, that’s possibly the toughest nut to crack. Fully enclosed driving cockpit? It’s terrible they have to put up with abuse and needs a good solution for sure.

Make transit fully funded so it doesn't need fares, and yeah, put a barrier between the driver and passengers. Give them a window they can open for the drivers that like to chat.

For certain problematic routes, have plainclothes "air marshal" style support riding with them for a while until people get the idea that bus drivers aren't punching bags.

quote:

Scheer has fired two top aides in his office as the party deals with the fallout of an election loss.

Chief of staff Marc-André Leclerc and communications director Brock Harrison no longer work for Scheer, according to an email from the party leader sent on Saturday. 

Multiple Conservative sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, explained the two men were told of the decision on Thursday night. They said Scheer informed them personally that they were to be let go and not be allowed to resign.

It's the first sign of shifts within Scheer's office since the election. In a press conference two weeks after the results, Scheer blamed the loss on communications issues. "There were times where our message didn't resonate with Canadians, that's clear," he said. 

Lmao they think they lost because they didn't communicate well and they fired these guys instead of letting them resign

Conservatives are going to run the same campaign next time, because its voters who are wrong not their LGBT and environmental policies just lol

Socialism was removed from the NDP constitution under Layton. Sure he was charismatic, but he was such a moderate he hand-picked Thatcher- and homeopathy-loving Mulcair as a successor

yeah but people think fondly of him, I feel like demonizing Layton and gaining support for next election is going to be a really steep incline.

And save the circular firing squad and purge for after victory, people I can't stress that enough.

Is this true?
Bill Blaikie
and the NDP Wikipedia entry indicate those two attempts were unsuccessful and the preamble itself retains reference to democratic socialist traditions.

Won't challenge that point. Maybe Mulcair believes in socialism but thinks it would be more effective diluted 10400 times.

Up until I ran into that Blaikie article a few weeks ago I thought it was a thing too. It's been a very persistent story.
