I was actually going to the airport yesterday, and was wondering why the otherwise 30 minute drive took over an hour, with the lineups already reaching the hwy exit. I was explaining to my relative, that see, Montreal has such little foresight, they couldn't build a train to reach the airport in fifty years, unlike Toronto and their Union-Pearson express, which makes YYZ a superior departure point.

Little did I know that this was a sit-in by activists. And the First Nation & Eco activists do this stuff in Toronto all the time. As in block the UP / CN lines, so it's not like that would be exempt from delays either.

All the power to them mind you. I'm just trying to highlight my smugness and bias towards Toronto transit interconnectedness.

Locking this post since some troll isn't getting the message.

From a recent ruling in the UK.

“I acknowledge that at least some of the concerns motivating you are, at least to some extent, shared by many,” he said.

“But the plain fact is that each of you has some time ago crossed the line from concerned campaigner to fanatic. You have appointed yourselves as the sole arbiters of what should be done about climate change, bound neither by the principles of democracy nor the rule of law.

“And your fanaticism makes you entirely heedless of the rights of your fellow citizens. You have taken it upon yourselves to decide that your fellow citizens must suffer disruption and harm, and how much disruption and harm they must suffer, simply so that you may parade your views.”
