TTC sudden strike!!!!

man...my mom woke me up and ask me to drive her to work because there's a TTC strike/lockout, means no buses, streetcars, and subway.
i thought my mom was joking but unfortunately...it's true

Yeah, I saw that this morning, even still, I have to drive the wife to work today, I am off and the inlaws have the van to pick up my younger one later.

Wonder how long the strike will be.

It's gonna be chaotic in the downtown core/district. The cab drivers will be reaping in the $$$.

**** those TTC strikers, they should send cops down to wherever they are picketing and start handing out tickets to strikers.....there should be no tollerance for illegal strikes...
