Re: Transpo charges up; New e-buses added to fleet, March 20

Article content

Brand spanking new EV buses are coming to the nation’s capital; now what could go wrong? Judging by the past record of this sad-sack behemoth transit corporation, one heck of a lot. Just look at the infamous “Streetcar to Nowhere”.

They said the trial run for these electric buses was a success. Perhaps they should take a look at venues in the U.S. that have had massive problems with these electric beasts. California, Philly, Asheville, N.C., Colorado Springs, just for starters, and most of these places do not have the frigid climate that we have. We had a very mild winter this year, however there is no guarantee that the next one will be the same, it could be super cold.

The people at OC Titanic just keep spending more and more taxpayer dollars just because EVs are cool. What a classic bunch.

FRAUD PREVENTION MONTH

So, the other day I received a call, wondered if I should answer it or not, and then thought, what the heck, it could be fun. It was “Danny from Bell.” Danny said Bell was offering a promotion. I told Danny I was a Bell customer, to which Danny asked about my cellphone. I said, “Let me say it one more time ‘Danny from Bell’, I am a Bell customer. Then the line went dead.

I called the number and heard, “The number you have dialled is not in service.” That was fast. It was in service two seconds ago.

Called Bell and found out March is Fraud Prevention Month.

I wonder if “Danny from Bell” knows.

MULRONEY WAS TRUE LEADER

Brian Mulroney was, in fact, a truly great leader, but listening to Justin Trudeau heap accolades on him was a bit like hearing Hitler praise Churchill.

You might wanna take it with a pinch of salt.
