417...Sleepless In Seattle; Clueless In Ottawa

The Carleton University newspaper, The Charlatan, reports in its latest birdcage liner that the idiot savants [wait, that is one too many words] who run Ottawa have decided that the price of bus tickets will go up 15 per cent today, July 1st.

In his Canada Day address to the nation, uber lefty Alex Cullen, the transit committee chair and city councillor, a man who has never actually seen the inside of a city bus but has heard many good things about them, justified the huge raise by saying that "...poor people have enough money..." May be not an exact quote but that is the gist of it.

Lauren Fogazzi goes on to quote U of K undergrad Nadia Rehman who makes the valid point that "The fare increase shows the true character of OC Transpo...greedy and deceitful..."

Not to mention public relations wizards.
