Hell in a handbasket
So, not only is my city on the first day of a city-workers labour strike (which means no garbage pickup amongst other things) Strike Ripples Across City, but to make matters worse, the LCBO (purveyors of booze to those living in Ontario) employees may strike on Wednesday LCBO Worker Strike.
Ok, it's bad enough that we may be facing a summer with no garbarge pick up, no city-run swimming pools open, no ferry to the Toronto Islands, no city-run summer camps, but no summer cocktails*? This could lead to some serious, civil unrest ;)
*Yes, I know I cannot drink NOW, but after little girl is born, I can partake a bit again. Thank goodness. I miss booze. And fortunately, the garbage strike part of this does not effect the Toronto 'borough' of Etobicoke, where I have relatives living who will fortunately allow me to add my garbage to theirs for pick up.
