DAY 34

Its Day 34 of Toronto Garbage (and other CUPE business') Strike - Yesterday, I went down to Queen Street to get some exercise. Walking is good! - I started at Ossington and made my way to Spadina and then back to Ossington. The business owners are doing their best to clean up the garbage on Queen Street. Nevertheless, there was still alot of garbage strewn here and there and, well, it did smell - when I passed a sewer it really stunk (more than normal). Here are a few pics of the BUILD-UP (new sites are being made today). Oh, this does not affect where we live because we have contractors picking up the garbage. BUT, the debris guys stopped 2 weeks ago and we have been getting alot of rain and that means WEEDS. We have 3 garbage cans full and two buckets of debris - I had to resort to those awful debris bags which when get wet or the stuff starts to decompose breaks open at the bottom. Via rail also just went on strike! What a summer with no pools opened. Mind you, people are taking their lawnmowers and mowing Government land - Thank you all for doing that!

Christie Pits - CLOSED FOR ANY FURTHER GARBAGE!
