In was a wild scene at Toronto City Hall on Tuesday when police charged five airport taxi drivers with trespassing, and slapped handcuffs on two of them after they refused to leave the council chambers.
The airport limo drivers became crazed after city council decided they would no longer be able to pick up fares in the city. You can read about it here.
But it's not the dispute that amuses me; it's how the drivers were treated while at City Hall.
Tell me how, within minutes, these taxi drivers can be charged and some put in handcuffs because they occupied city hall, while there's an ongoing occupation into its second year at Caledonia and nobodies doing a goddamn thing about it.
Why would the cabbies be treated this way within one hour, while nobody did anything for 30 hours this past weekend while natives blocked a major transportation artery near Deseronto?
Just wondering - Just wondering why there's such a double standard.
