Bubbles to Clear the Air of Diesel Exhaust?

A small crowd of approximately twenty people, including the very short person pictured above, gathered on Tuesday before Union Station's Front Street entrance to blow bubbles with soap, after being denied the right to do so inside the station. They did this because they're upset with Metrolinx, the GTA's newish regional transit authority, for its refusal to consider running electric trains on a pair of proposed regional rail expansions. The expansions, which as planned will accommodate only diesel-burning locomotives, would link Union Station to Pearson Airport and more than triple service on GO Transit's Georgetown corridor between Union Station and Malton on opening day.
