Why would someone join a hockey forum and then post entirely on the forum of another team about non-hockey related topics?
Why indeed.

The first version of this online community didn't become a reality until October 1999. I was posting in July of 2000. Nice try though.

No interest. It's a totally different culture compared to EMS. Paramedics work pretty much autonomously, whereas fire works in tight knit groups with constant direct supervision. The individual firefighter has been trained to not have any independent thought.
I personally don't hate fire fighters, i just don't think they should get the funding they do.
I also have very little interest in fire suppression and other fire activities.

Re: OT: Canadian Politics
Actually most fire departments could stand to at a minimum a quarter of their staff and there would be no impact upon public safety. The number of firefighters working at any given time is based on a formula from several decades ago. It's based on a minimum response time of 4 minutes for structural fires, thing is the response time could be doubled and there would be no impact on safety.
The thing is, they respond to so few structure fires that they need to find new things for them to do. They've also recognized that medical response is a growing industry. A few months ago the Ontario professional firefighters association started a new lobby effort to legislate it that fire attend all medical calls in an attempt to pad their response numbers. The idea being that if fire increased their total number of responses by 400% they'll look for a budget increase to go along with it. The thing with fire on medical calls is that they really do nothing of value. Sure it's nice having someone to carry my bags, but we really don't need 4 guys earning 100k a year to do that.

Try harder.
If this forum is from 1999, then I'm right about the length of time. I was posting in the other forum long before it moved here. I think I found the original forum back in the mid or early 90's. Habsy or Lou probably has a better idea of time frames.
Regardless, unless you own the forum, it's none of your business where posters post.

Re: OT: Canadian Politics
I'm not aware of the politics of firefighters. All I know is that when they respond to an alarm, they go out with 4 trucks. I can see the reasoning why but I wonder if it's sound reasoning backed up by data.
Side story....firefighters in my town in Greece have to be the most overpaid do-nothings. Every building is built from concrete, brick and stone, top to bottom. There is no such thing as "burning building". At most, somebody loses a kitchen once in a while and that constitutes the majority of "house fires". The only time they get to work is when the fields/orchards catch fires.

Quick update: seems like the author of the report doesn't quite understand how banks work, seems to be all crossed up in definitions of equity and the actual function of banks in a modern economy (by his strange definition, they are always "underwater"). Anyway. Weak stuff.
TARP was by far the best thing the Bush Administration did. These liquidity guarantees were quite modest compared to all that, it was the right thing to do.
