Windsor's outside municipal workers went on strike Wednesday morning after negotiations failed. The heart of the issue seems to be how the city wants to eliminate benefits for new hires and of course the supposed wage increase for current workers that the city claims is on the table. The city negotiating team so far does not seem willing to bargain fairly and they are only interested in concessions, which CUPE local 82 will not bargain concessions.

So I've come back to post here on my blog after going through a bit of depression over the past month and a half. What do I come back to? None other than Ignatieff spouting off about how it might be necessary to raise taxes to fight the deficit. Well, considering I live in Ontario, which has been losing jobs at an alarming rate, I don't think we want more taxes. I don't think the guy who got laid off at the GM plant wants to pay higher taxes, and I know I don't either.

I haven't been myself since Phantom crossed the rainbow bridge. I haven't been able to find the motivation to do the things I love to do and am basically depressed. I haven;t followed politics much of late, haven;t gone to my martial arts class since my grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and haven't really done much of anything.I made this video for Phantom because she was a great cat and friend.
In case the youtube video ever goes down, heres a link to the video. Its 7.5 MB in size
