I love my city, as much as the next person. It has it’s ups and downs like every other city in the world. I am not a fan of my local government…

We have had a Garbage Strike (or so that is all the focus is on) in my city for over a month now. We have not had one physical garbage pick up since the first day of the strike.

I don’t believe I should take my garbage to a land drop off site, so that it can sit and rot inside a grass pit, be soaked by unseasonable rain down pour  and wait for the fellow garbage men to deal with once they return to their posts.

What I find is that it’s real convenient for my Local Mayor, who has on many years budgets complain repeatedly he doesn’t want to pay for swimming pools, that all those services are on strike as well as garbage. That no compensation will be awarded to all the people who have been paying property tax accordingly… especially someone like me whose house jumped 30% in value with the new taxation.

We had politely attempted to store our garbage, got rid of most of our diapers, we have about 10 a day around here… but I believe it’s time that our Mayor Miller here in Toronto, get off his arse and put all those teenaged kids who are lifesavers for the summer have their jobs back. Because Garbage does NOT affect them, they need money too!
