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.

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.

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! Quote:

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.

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.

They're the rejects of the political swamp.

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. Quote:

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. https://www.travelchinaguide.com/cit...enwan-line.htm Quote:

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.
