A guy in a sweet ride like that represents all of Toronto?! LOL, the rest of Canada must be laughing their asses off. Toronto, where the common man drives a Mercedes!

One question. Why are we all bitching on Youtube? Why don't about 1,000 of us go down to these transfer stations and PICKET THE PICKETERS. Keep them from leaving when they want to go home. Use bully-boy tactics on them and hurl insults at them? Why? Because we're Canadians. Too damned polite for our own good.

This guy does represent Toronto and all its citizens, but it has nothing to do with what he is driving.

He is angry and upset that Taxpayers are being gouged by CUpe, and now are being held hostage by this greedy union.

The policeman should be removing the picketers from blocking people who ust want to go to work.

[MacBelak]

Wow that cop was taking sides, that is disturbing.

You all do know the way your reacting to it is going to make the strike longer.

Look at these disgusting fuckers. Little do they know, even a monkey is over qualified for their jobs. The Mayor seems oblivious to the fact that these lazy old fat fuckers are causing a lot of grief for the city. And it's been a month already. Why doesn't he legislate them back to work or hire the unemployed at a much lower cost. Does the Mayor have no logic or a hint of common sense? What kind of Mayor did we elect? Shame on us!

"If the city payed for it, it wouldn't be a private buisness" sorry but that made no sense. As I've said before, they can contract it out to PRIVATE COMPANIES, just like the city contracts out projects to private construction companies among other things. And yes the city will pay for it with our TAX DOLLARS. And it would cost significantly cheaper as no company would pay their workers 26$/hr to drive a truck around for 8 hours if they want competitive advantage. CUPE is a joke.

If the city payed for it, it wouldn't be a private buisness. Same as walmart and McDonalds or any other company, you don't see the government forking our money to pay for your big mac so they also wouldn't pay for your garbage if it became privatized.

Tell me and when and where! i'll be sure to bring 20 of my buddies along with ALL their garbage and we'll "picket the picketers", we'll use their fucking tactics against them and video tape their asses and shit. Fuck I'm so pissed, my mom lives alone and she doesn't need this shit. She doesn't need a bunch of fat old fuckers getting in her face and disrupting her life just because they want more money FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

"lol ya go to privatizing, next this ull begin bitching about i that they're charging you $10 for a bag of garbage." First of all, the city will be paying for it. Second, competition will keep prices low (lower than what they are paying these blood suckers). Moreover, contracting out to private companies will without a doubt improve efficiency and increase productivity. I mean look at all these CUPE workers man, they are all fat and old. jeez I'm glad I moved to Vancouver.

[bathellfire]

I would have done the same, if i was there. I would honk my ass off, unti these CUPE fuks go deaf.

It's hard to feel sympathy for a union that harasses the taxpayers when they try to take their garbage to a temporary landfill.

Plus, the way the strikers act most of the time is disgusting. Some strikers have actually crossed the picketing line, wanting to go back to work, but the union simply won't let them. They blockade the entrance to the offices, which is ILLEGAL anyway.
