 STRIKEWATCH THE SECOND: DESTROY THE NDP
The leader of the provincial New Democratic Party, Howard Hampton, just finished committing televised suicide. Just seconds ago, Hampton held a press scrum outside of Queen's Park where he really didn't say much of anything.
Late last night, my dementedly socialist mayor, David Miller, sent a request to my genetically dishonest premier, Dalton McGuinty, for provincial back to work legislation regarding the cocksuckers at the TTC. The McGuinty government has recalled the Ontario legislature for tomorrow and the legislation is being drafted as I write this.
The leader of the Progressive Conservatives, John Tory, is being eminently reasonable in his desire to crush those assholes under the heel of government. Although he still stupidly insists that "essential service" agreements necessarily would have to involve either arbitration or even democracy, he's as reasonable as a politician can be, I suppose. Although I would have ordered summary executions by now. If nothing else, I'm a "people person."
Hampton, however, has decided to look like a total cocksucker, trying have it both ways and pissing off absolutely everybody. The dumb motherfucker actually held a press conference to declare that he won't he commit to the legislation either way until he sees it.
That might sound reasonable, had the Liberals not already leaked that the back to work legislation is being crafted to specifically ensure NDP support and that it's a straight back to work order, with no instructions given to the arbitraitor. If anyone's getting fucked in the bill, it's Tory, who wants an "ability to pay" instruction given the arbitraitor. But Tory's supporting it even without what he wants.
Hampton, throughout his press scrum, insisted that he shouldn't say anything because "the parties are back at the negotiating table", ignoring that they're only there because the Minister of Labour ordered them there. Furthermore, the union jackals have been given the best deal they're ever going to get, and knowing that back to work legislation is about to tabled, there's very little point in negotiating.
The NDP is trying to look good for his worthless base of union assholes knowing that it won't matter in the long run. The arbitraitor will give the union they want and more, because that's the nature of things in a backward fucking society like Canada.
 But Howard Hampton has essentially told the city of Toronto that he holds the interests of the 9,000 members of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 over the 1.5 million of us who need to get to fucking work on Monday and the other 3 million across the GTA who will be impacted by the city being tied in knots.
Hampton's chosen his side, folks. Now it's time for you to choose yours. If you happen to be one of the 5 million voters in the Greater Toronto Area and you ever vote for the NDP again, you should be forced to walk to work everyday for the rest of your stupid fucking lives. And you should make that walk on broken ankles. Some assholes should be made to live their vote once in awhle.
This is a done deal. The NDP doesn't have the votes to block the legislation. At best, they can only delay it until Friday at the latest, which I don't think they have the balls to do. They're grandstanding on the side of people who have already gotten everything they wanted.
Because of the uncertainty that that grandstanding that Howard Hampton, the NDP and the 35% of the Amalgamated Transit Union's membership have thrown into the lives of millions of people, lines have been clearly drawn. They chose sides and you're not on theirs.
Vote accordingly, you stupid motherfuckers. There won't be a provincial election for three and a half years, but you can spank the NDP federally in the very near future. If you hapen to be poor or working class, Hampton just demonstrated that the NDP doesn't represent your economic interests. If he did, he wouldn't be so fucking coy about whether or not you'll be able to get to work on Monday.
On the other hand, a vote for the NDP has always been a vote to be poor, stupid and unemployable. How else can you explain Manitoba and Saskatchewan? There's a reason that those people are regarded by Toronto as something less than our pets.
