The NDP is so fucking stupid that even if you want to vote for them they make it harder for you to pull the trigger. It's no wonder the Liberals always win, the NDP will fall for every little trap hook, line, and sinker.

Omg what a complete facepalm move by the NDP. Are they seriously this stupid? A simple "we will look at all options" would have kept them neutral. Coming flat out saying they reject it? Holy that's political suicide.

Mmm carrots.

lmfao
aaaaaand the NDP already fucked themselves in this election

that didn't take long

What they said was they will consider all options and come to a fair decision but will have NO concrete plan before the election...which is basically nothing lol. They're so incompetent!

Even if they're 100% against Uber they could just lie and say we're leaning towards Uber since it's the future. Instead they do exactly what the Liberals were aiming for...Refusing to let Uber in is like Trump saying he will bring back "clean" coal for energy.

GG NDP, make Uber happen. I don't give a fuck about the cab industry or traffic.

When it's 2am, I just wanna get home.

If there was ever a gif to sum up my reaction to the NDP it'd be this

How stupid and detached from reality do you have to be to fall into such trap. There could be so many ways to spin it. I mean, fuck... Politicians aren't exactly technical. If you don't even have the brain to spin well, then just gtfo.

Remember the "scandal" in the 90s where Moe Sihota was forced to resign to due Herb Dhaliwal 's limo company. It is indicative where NDP's power base lies. They won't be happy with Uber here. It is not a trap if NDP members don't like it, the party has to say no.

Though I find it funny timing with the announcement with so much negative press with Uber in the States the last month!

I don't think much of the negative press with Uber will stop people from using them. From my limited experience of taking it in Toronto, it's still a hell of a lot better than taking any sort of cab. It's convenient, it's cheap, and it's easy to book. It beats taxis in every way possible when it comes down to end user experience.

We're talking 20 years ago there and the Liberal party hasn't exactly had a sparkling record when it comes to abusing their power to reward friends and donors.

This province needs a legit 3rd party. I want the Liberals out because they're barely trying to hide their corruption anymore but at the same time, Horgan pisses me off the same way douchebag Mulclair did in the Federal election.

i wish the NDP will say FcUk to Uber and that they'll bring Grab to BC...haha

That's how they seemingly approach all policy not just uber.

To be fair, anybody who actually remembers the NDP from the 90's won't be voting for them

Is this actually a thing? Thought it was just Asia

Anybody who knows anything about that party wouldn't vote for them. They're the rejects of the political swamp. They get voted in once because people get all bent out of shape over their current liberal or conservative party and then they all go "oh shit, we done fucked up" and they get voted out. Case and point; Alberta.

No, people outside the party won't remember, but the two families involved still have big influence in the NDP party; hence the party's stance against Uber. Again, a political party won't vote against the interest of their own members. It is not a trap, it is a fact of life.

What's going on in Alberta would've happened regardless of who was in power.

ive had more than a few rides where the guy forgets to turn it on, therefor charging basically whatever from the point you notice

or people who ask you if you want to restart the meter after dropping someone off, which is always the wrong decision but they make it sound like the right one

or taking routes which are longer/more lights to get more out of the trip.

etc. etc.

No fun city. Who would wanna go out when skytrains stops a 1am and people running around on the streets fighting for a cab.
Driverless cars are coming making this profession obsolete. Stop whinning. Get with the times and adapt.

You do know that's pretty much the standard right? Even the vaulted HK MTR stops at 1AM (they do start much earlier at 5AM).. So I would say opening until 1AM for our population density is already pretty good.

Ya lol. I don't see any issues with skytrain operating hours, especially considering our density. Even trains in Japan don't operate 24/7.

The taxi industry though, needs an overhaul.

I wonder what the pay scale will be... if not too crappy... getting a old/used honda would be worthwhile...
