the ponzi bomb under the city walls

put there by public sector unions, it's now exploding. will it leave anything behind?
[This is about US cities, but applies to Canada, the provinces, and cities, too.

These unions are permitted to hold essential services for ransom, and the resulting public outcry always causes politicians to cave to unsustanable demands.

Then things get nasty. It is long past time to bring these unions to heel, but who dares to bell the cat?]

These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
