Indeed, many happy Ottawans did just that yesterday and today.
I was happily nestled in the back seat of my eastbound OC Hellspo Red Rocket yesterday afternoon, enjoying the sights of the global-warming-produced April snow falling on our fair town. Suddenly I noticed in the oncoming lane the westbound queue of buses that extended at least a mile' There they were, like a parade of environmentally sound elephants (one a double decker!!), stopped bumper to bumper on the Transitway, waiting for someone to allow them to proceed.
According to some reports, waiting for (and in) buses became such an ordeal that people were walking from downtown to Hurdman Station; which is quite the trek, especially with the miserable weather we’ve been having.
A few of the usual grouchy (i.e. people who give a damn) talk show callers were upset last night, complaining that is going to hell in a handcart and nobody is in charge.
And how did our police respond? They pretty much told us that we should be prepared for more of the same today!
And guess what happened sho nuff? We got more of the same today!
Nothing was said about the illegality of bringing traffic to a standstill during rush hour. Just that we have to be patient.
Pray tell,
And life goes on in this sleepy little apathetic (emphasis on the pathetic) village.
If they were Irish protesting Northern Ireland treatments of Catholics I really doubt the protest would have last a minute. However they are a visible minority and white cops will be vilified if they do anything. You just know it will be the natives next to do this to Ottawa.
