      <![CDATA[If I was the mayor I would fie myself if I was not ethical and progressive and refused to fire others who were committing fraud by receiving a tax paid pay cheque and did nothing all day every day. Riders are a captive audience, we can complain and moan and groan all we want...we still need to wait for the bus..it gets there when it gets there is the new time schedule....

      <![CDATA[Google maps has Metro transit schedules built into it, BY FAR the best way to figure out how to get from A to B by bus. Now, it is using the "official" schedule, so god forbid the bus runs behing then it all goes broke.

      <![CDATA[it's the only city where the managers of a transit system controls the riders using said transit,whereas in a truly progressive city,the riders control the system..do you think the transit managers want  you to see how pathetically slow the buses really are,or how often they fail to meet scheduled times or connections...lets get rid of these managers that won't change or develop a plan that truly works for the vary people who use this system...

      <![CDATA[The HRM Tech department said it it was absolutely impossible to block any SPAM from reaching HRM accounts.<br>
<br>
No way, no how, no filters, no programs could stop any SPAM.<br>
<br>
Think of that.<br>
<br>
OUR techs in HRM could not think of any way to stop SPAM mail. <br>
<br>
Not 90%<br>
<br>
Not 50%<br>
<br>
Not 1%<br>
<br>
"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP ANY SPAM"!<br>
<br>
What does that say of them?<br>

      <![CDATA[As far as IT goes there are forward-looking government departments out there...and then there's the other 90 percent.<br>
<br>
When something this simple can't get done it's down to one (or a combination) of:<br>
<br>
1. Bureaucracy making simple things difficult, and difficult things impossible - while 2 competent programmers could get this thing done in a month at the outside, that's ignoring the dozen or more other people that need to get involved and generate paper to justify their existence;<br>
<br>
2.
