I remember when Toronto was suffocating because of garbage removal workers strike. More than that when we finally started to bring garbage to commercial dumping sites those were blocked by strikers and they would allow only few people per hour to make huge line ups. IANAL but this looked like mischief to me. And when people out of frustration had started throwing garbage bags in front of the site bylaw officers were right there issuing big fines.
More than that, I tried to talk to strikers and they were fucking boozed up to their gills. That is despite laws against public intoxication.
Police were ignoring all of this. So the government was totally fine with strikers "disturbing the peace". From what I see they're very selective on what to enforce and when.
- nathanaldensr 5y agoExactly. However, in the world of those who long ago fell prey to the "red vs. blue" or "left vs. right" false dichotomies, there is only the question of "what side are you on?" One is not allowed to point out hypocrisy or plausible hypotheticals where the exact same decision-making in the future will be turned against those for whom the decision-making is currently convenient.
