I was going to write a review of The Galindez File, but first I’m going to complain about the strike. I’m not complaining about the strike itself – although I have some criticisms about how it’s going to play out for CUPE 416 – but about people’s reactions. It’s only the first day today and the major problem is garbage collection. Except on the first day the problem shouldn’t be garbage collection. Garbage collection shouldn’t be a problem for another week. Residents of Toronto knew that a strike was likely a week ago, and even if the strike weren’t on, garbage would not be collected today anyways. I don’t understand how residents are already visiting trash collection sites (in front of which workers are picketing) to yell at picketing workers with tons of trash to dispose of. How can you generate that much trash over the course of a single weekend?! Geeze. How can you already be angry that you have too much trash stinking up your household?! It’s because you’ve generated so much garbage!
So yea… much more sympathetic to the parents whose kids are out of day care than with massive generators of garbage. It’s such garbage. I hope the city fines all the people dumping illegally.
