Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
It's 1:45 a.m. now. The TTC strike is done: twelve hours ago, TTC employees were legislated back to work by the provincial government; nine hours ago, TTC service started back up; not too far from now, employees' Monday morning shifts will start as usual, in time to transport the morning rush. But you wouldn't know that from the Star's Strike Watch blog, which the front page of the Star's website still links to, which boasts of having "the latest on the Toronto Transit Commission labour situation," and which hasn't been updated since Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.
Whoops. But we guess that's what happens when you lay off your entire internet production staff.

For explaining the strike to the outside world, here's a video that does a pretty good job:

I'm glad The Star doesn't print a story every time Torontoist posts something libelous, ill-informed, mean-spirited or with a typo in its headline.
Stop being dicks.
