"I find it funny that we suffered for 50 some odd days and the feds never cared (well I supposed that I should mention Ambrose forcing the vote but that was quite pointless).
And here we are, on the cusp of Obama coming to visit in three weeks and suddenly the union and the city are both willing to end the strike and, for the first time in anyone's memory, every political party was ready to stand together to get bus service running again.
I wonder how severe the pressure from waaaay high up on the Hill came down on O'Brien and those morons at the ATU.
It wouldn't look so good on Canada and Ottawa if it came out that this is a city held at the mercy of a bunch of transpo-terrorists while the government, the one that lives in this city, wasn't doing a damn thing about it.
Wouldn't want to show the world what's really happening here now would we?
I guess it took someone other than the million residents of Ottawa to get something done around here.
I give my thanks to Mr. Obama. It's the one thing that he could have ever done for me."
