If Toronto city employees have enough time and money to run around town sealing off garbage cans because they’re having a strike, they’re already overpaid and underworked. Given the time, money and effort it took these squaling whores to do this, they could have collected the damn trash.
BTW, the ad on the bin is for Toronto childcare. Which is also shut down this week because of the strike. How precious.
Get your festering asses back to work. You can live with short-term disability (which still pays for your malingering) instead of your 18 unqualified sick days per year.
My trash will be hand delivered to Mayor Miller’s front lawn in Bloor West at the first sign of vermin.
I curse the day public sector workers were given the “right,” to hold the population hostage to their greed and childishness. Fire them all!
JUst wondering if this is an Eastern thing. Seems you folks are always having a garbage strike every couple of years.
In 53 years in Edmonton I have never seen one.
Thougfht we used to have our Buses strike all the time, until people stopped using them. Westeners vote with their feet.
So the City of Toronto daycare advertise on the City of Toronto garbage kiosks. Of course, they count that as revenue, even though it’s coming from themselves.
Is it any wonder these places never have money.
Tut, tut…
Why not point out that the trash piles are offensive to certain religions and to not collect it will offend them.
Those employees will be out scrubbing the sidewalks with their toothbrushes within 15 minutes!
Just sayin’
Why not find out where the city’s union officials and manager live and dumb the garbage in front of their homes? I’m sure they will resolve their petty strike rather rapidly.

Just a thought … If Toronto residents are really fed up being held hostage under mounds of garbage, why not simply dump your garbage off in front of those picket lines of striking civil servants? Similarly, why not dump your garbage off at municipal offices, police stations, the mayor’s residence, the residence’s of City councilors, etc.? Wouldn’t that make cleanup easier once the strike is over? (Always think ahead!).
If anything, once opposing sides in this dispute are directly exposed to the rotting refuse they so flagrantly inflict on local citizenry, the smell alone might help remind them that their primary commitment is to the taxpayer!
Personally, and as a rural resident, I have no great love for the hopelessly gridlocked, multi-confused ‘Big Smoke’ or whatever misery its residents so willfully endure. It could be argued that the smell of rotting garbage is a noticeable improvement. It’s all part of the “Manhattanization” experiment you sewer rats were all so fond of.
Russ,
Given that Mayor Scaredy Pants Miller is siding with the unions against the taxpayers, the city is levying fines on anyone caught dumping anywhere, from Queen’s Part to Millers house, to parks and beyond. Which sucks, because the unions are picketing in front of the official drop zones, which means people have no choice but to hang onto their rubbish or turn to garbagestrike.com
