50 days and counting since the buses were last running in Ottawa.
My friends back in Ottawa have been have been pretty dignified about the whole strike thing. I'm impressed. They've taken to walking, car pooling and sharing taxis. For the most part, they live relatively close to their offices so the going is pretty easy. But they remind me of the hundreds of thousands who don't. Those poor souls who used to spend an hour on the bus and now are losing jobs or lots of sleep walking for hours in frigid temperatures.
I feel for them. But I can't help feeling glad I am back in Toronto. Of course, Toronto has been known to have the odd bus strike too. So I won't be too smug about being here and not there.
Check out this video from comedian Rick Currie. His reworking of a Johnny Cash song is inspired.
