I see that LRT trains still have priority at street crossings.
Why can't the tax eating freeloaders who ride the LRT stop at traffic lights and wait their turn?

LRT Offensiveness
I see that our local lawgivers still give light rail transit traffic priority.
We poor fools sit here in our vehicles behind the barrier in rush hour fuming as the train does not come. Where is it? In the station, a hundred yards down the track, taking its own sweet time. It's past, why does the barrier not rise? Because another train cometh from the other direction.
Meanwhile traffic is now backed up for 3 blocks to the west and maybe 4 or 5 blocks to the east and the major north south road 1 block east.
Did the drivers attempt to coordinate to minimize disruption? Har.

Retail follies part 1 of many
I see that Future Shop still thinks they can compete in appliance sales by making customers wait for a delivery from out of town.
That's even worse than my recent experience with Home Depot, where they took my order, made me wait 2 weeks for the stove and pay $50.00 for the delivery. Mabe, Home Depot's supplier, then called 3 or 4 days later to tell me they were out of stock and it would be at least 3 weeks. Order cancelled.
Meanwhile I had an unhappy tenant with no stove, so back I went crawling to my usual wholesaler.

Home Depot follies, part 1 of many
I see that Home Depot Canada still has one of the worst web sites ever.
I need 6 new windows for a renovation project. When I enter 'windows' in the search field I get 1473 hits. I narrow them down by category and find that none of them, not one, is an actual 'window'.
My very dear Home Depot fools, if I wanted skylights, I would enter that into the search field. Likewise, caulk, awnings, rugs (?), and so on.
