Saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine with my oldest son last night. Not a bad movie. Not a great movie. My son liked it, and that is all that really matters.
That said, one thing in the movie bothered me.
Before Logan's skeletal system was reinforced with adamantium, a near indestructible metal, he would grow bone claws out of hands. Yet, after the adamantium reinforcement, Logan now grows sharp blades (that were also much duller in this movie).
Shouldn't he be growing adamantium-reinforced bone claws?

"Jerk"
One way of not winning support during a strike is to call people a jerk.
You want me to wait for five minutes? Ask me, politely. That is all it would take. Really.
Demanding that I wait five minutes or that you WILL hold me for five minutes is not going to win me over.
Since when do you get to decide what I can and cannot do? I always find it amusing how the 'right to strike' and the 'right to picket' trumps my 'right to work' and my 'right to enter a building'.
Also, standing off to the side and yelling out demands doesn't sit well with me. Since when did sitting and/or standing around a picnic table equal picketing?
CUPE locals 82 and 543, you are losing the public. Do yourself a favour. Face reality and get back to the negotiating table. The majority of Canadians do not get post-retirement benefits for life. Heck, the majority of Canadians don't get post-retirement benefits period. What makes you so special?

The Mayor's Arrogance
Make sure you watch the video, email a link to your friends and family, post it on your Facebook page and if you have a blog, embed a copy for everyone to see.
This is what Windsor City Council has become. Last minute meetings. The Mayor not providing information to Councillors to make an informed decision. The sad part: Only one Councillor has the guts to stand up to King Francis.
To MP Jeff Watson: How can your government support the funding of a canal while City streets, sidewalks, sewers and water mains crumble?
