City of Toronto- a mockery and a dump

The city is in shambles due to the garbage strike.

No one knows when it will end, and it's just getting worse.

OneToronto.Ca I saw this link on tshirts that people were wearing on tv today, check the site out.

Apparently the end of the strike is nowhere in sight which makes me almost thankful for the mild temperature we've been having otherwise the garbage might smell a lot worse. However the city is still disgusting and we can only hope they come to an agreement soon!

I think we should help do something about it.

Not sure what we could do without dumping garbage into the parks, but something needs to be done.

I'm tired of living beside a temporary dump site.(try 6 of them)

i read an interesting article about how the unions in Toronto are proving themselves useless in yesterday's post. So what should we do. I suggest privatization, with a focus on community garbage collection.

oh dear.. that sounds horrific...

We've not had anything like that over here in 30 years, and as i recall the governemnt moved the army in to clear up..

Well thank goodness for that... things must have been getting pretty horrible around the city, especially with it being summer time. The health issues especially.

Things are finally returning to normal, garbage pickup has resumed for household waste today.

It's about time, it was going too far.

I'm from the states and had not heard about the garbage strike until i read this post. Glad to hear that things are turning around.
