  1. I got kicked off a bus in my town for daring, DARING I say, to tell the driver someone was aiming a laser pointer at other passengers’ faces. that was before surveillance became defacto on all of them. as luck would have it, I told the story to a new tenant about 2 months later. his jaw dropped. he was *on* said same bus so now I had a witness. and filed a formal complaint immediately, including THIS article:

    I have since made 3 more complaints about drivers. I used to stand up for them in the old pre-surveillance days. not anymore. not after THAT very offensive episode.
    now I don’t even need a witness AND with cell phone in hand I report the complaint right on the bus within earshot of everyone. and usually mention the laser pointer incident in the process. dont fcuk with this oldtimer.

  2. Get used to it. Once Kathleen Wynne and her Green Gestapo outlaw gasoline, there’ll be no other way to get to the job you won’t have anymore because Ontario is following Venezuela down the socialist sewer.

  3. I take the bus, and I swear, I either have good luck, take the right routes, or need to ride more often, because the passengers I’ve seen are always the well-behaved sort. Well. Except for the single moms who yell at their kids to do whatever.
    Or this city is boring or lacks enough side show freaks to give bus rides to.

  4. Like the idiots who oppose fracking or want us to stop all drilling and coal mining(Keep it in the ground)with out thinking where their household products came from or the fact that all modes of tranportation needs petroleum products

  5. DN, they won’t live past the attempt to do that never mind succeeding.
