Meatriarchy is back after a work induced hiatus. I am glad he's back...he's been missed. This is why.
If you want to get a true picture of the inane type of social engineering that passes for policy in Toronto witness the recent media fanfare over the passing of a new by-law that would penalize motorists for allowing their car to idle instead of parking it in some overpriced parking lot (if you can find one that isn’t full). The purpose is to cut down on smog emissions. However anyone who has driven in Toronto knows that most idling cars are not on the streets themselves but on the highways. Every morning great gobs of vehicles creep along the 401 and the QEW into Toronto never making speeds over 20kmh and often sitting for long stretches not moving at all – but with engines running. Now that’s what I call idling. Of course not one brave intrepid reporter brought that up during the press blitz that surrounded the passing of the new by-law. The only squawk of protest raised in the media was that there weren’t enough by law officers to enforce the law.
Great job reporters!! Your really are showing us bloggers why we will never be able to live up to your standards.
Do what you can Meat-Man. I'll take what I can get.
