    Eastern Talon Case Study

    Considering the recent decline in cross-border heavy truck activity, increased costs of insurance and diesel fuel, is resulting in decreased profitability for most carriers, it may be in the best interests of Eastern Talon Transport to consider options in reducing operating costs within its long-haul division based in Laval. However, there are many factors to weigh before committing to such a big decision, particularly what the effects on staff will be. For example, there could be a language barrier for the dispatchers that move to Mississauga, seeing that French is likely their mother tongue, which may lead to difficulties communicating primarily in English at the Mississauga office where the native-French speaking population is considerably lower than in Laval.

    Toronto’s transportation is probably known throughout the world because when tourists for example French tourists can go to opposite ends of the city within minutes and when they’re on board the TTC they know they’re in for a long ride. I can’t help but to get frustrated when I get up in the morning and see not one but 2 buses bumper’s touching each other past the stop I get on and wonder why, TTC god are you hurting me I was a good kid all year why must I be punished so brutally. Every bus in my neighbourhood is approximately 10 minutes apart so if I do some math I’m out 20 minutes and ready to give Reshma that late slip. The TTC needs to generally improve their busing system throughout the city especially where I live.…

    The poster child of the independent electric car movement has been Tesla Motors. When the company launched, it promised to reinvent the auto industry in the mold of a Silicon Valley start-up, and leave Detroit and the gas driven automobile in the dust. After hitting a number of misses: product delays, boardroom discord, and major operating losses, the company has finally emerged from the slump. An investment from Germany Daimler AG (maker of Mercedes), a $465 million US government loan, and a potential IPO, add up to cash and momentum for Tesla Motors electric car start-up.…
