Ridiculous.

Not to disparage the fine work cops and firefighters do but their salary and gold plated pensions defy logic in a market like Winnipeg. The whole notion that they should be paid the same as in other jurisdictions like Vancouver and Calgary is ridiculous.
What were once blue collar jobs (police and firefighters) with pay on par with tradesman has now escalated to the point where they now make more than teachers, engineers, pharmacists, nurses, and — load of other careers that require more than a humanities degree.
