Adding to recent names he's called Pierre Poilievre, including "jackass" and "bullshitter," Miller tells me Poilievre is a "charlatan" and a "snake-oil salesman."

I started asking questions. How many attendants are working tonight? 4-5, he said.

This is their literal job: to walk around (for however long a shift is, I’m not sure) and place as many tickets as they can.
I asked if he worked on commission. He said no, but the parking company, contracted by the owners of Lansdowne, does get paid commission.

They just don’t pass that onto the staff, it seems, and instead just hire them at a flat rate.
Who is the ‘owner’ of Lansdowne here? City of Ottawa owns the land, right? So why doesn’t bylaw monitor parking instead? The city contracts out operations of Lansdowne to OSEG…

Whatever the truth of it is, that headline is journalistic malpractice and you would NEVER catch a headline characterizing something like a sexual assault in this manner.
Alleged, alleged, alleged...
Some of the most lazy, dog shit reporting I've ever seen. Factual inaccuracy about the journalist, a headline that falsely suggests the charge has been proven in court, omitting the journalist's critical reporting of EPS... No wonder so many are turning to independent media.
