Toyato et les syndicats!!!
Toyota and the Union-Backed, Government-Led Witch Hunt

Toyota, which employs over 35,000 workers in the United States with factories in eight states, is the target of a government-led and union-supported attack due to recent recalls.
In the U.S., it is estimated that 15,000 Lexus HS250h and 133,000 Prius models will be recalled due to gas pedal issues, with another 500,000 Prius and other gasoline-electric hybrids needing anti-brake software modification. As unfortunate and inconvenient as recalls can be, this not the first, or last time an automobile will need to be brought back to the shop for a quick fix.
One might think this is the first auto recall in decades from the way government officials and Congressional Committees have pounced on Toyota. However, as recent as last month, Honda announced a recall of 646,000 Fit models (or Jazz in some markets) due to a faulty master switch that could allow water to enter the electrical components resulting in fires. Ford, less than one year ago, was forced to recall more than 4 million cars based on 550 vehicle fires. The recall concerned cruise-control deactivation switches that were installed in 16 million Fords. Part of the recall included nearly 1.1 million 1995-2003 Ford Windstar family van models.
There was no government outcry and no demand for Congressional hearings over these recent recalls. So why has Toyota suddenly become the target of a government-led witch hunt?
Toyota’s U.S. operations are extremely successful, not saturated by inefficient union monopolies, and are in direct competition with the now government-owned General Motors.

Le Olympique: est-ce le debut de la fin!
Je sais que dans un futur assez proche, tu aura a donné ta position sur l'idée de se payer un party de 2 semaines qui coûtent plusieurs milliards de dollars, les Olympiques à Québec. Voici une analyse intéressante sur l'impact des Olympiques d'Athène sur la crise financière qui frappe la Grèce, un État qui a bcp, bcp de similarité avec le Québec (monopole syndicale et gouvernementale, interventionisme tout azimut...).
