    Why do these politicians expect firefighters to live at near poverty levels?
    I guess they only show their appreciation when it's the stylish thing to do.

Stop and think your way out of the single issue, divisive mindset that keeps you judging and overreacting.

It's the latest in the war of words between the police and fire unions, and the mayor, over pay, pensions and attrition of the rank-and-file.

  • Jarrad Smith It's unbelievable the cost associated with this now simply because the elected officials and city managers don't do their jobs right from year to year. I know I've never missed a pension contribution deduction from my paycheck, and I'm willing to be neither did the NO firefighters effected by this.

They have won many court battles and are still waiting on payout now going on a couple years. The interest keeps adding onto the total amount, but the city hasn't the funds to pay them. Another promise made a couple months ago and still no payout.
