City Workers’ Frustration Plane to See

Currently flying circles around the downtown core, far above Pride partiers and amongst the stray balloons floating up from below and the news helicopters hovering above, is a small plane carrying a “FAIR CONTRACT FOR CITY WORKERS NOW!” banner. As we noted when an anti–Tamil Tiger banner flew in May, this sort of stunt isn’t cheap: an aerial banner from local company SkyWords costs about $500 for half an hour, and today’s plane has been out for a good forty-five minutes so far. We were plane-spotting from too far away to see the reactions of Pride-goers, but the sky didn’t seem all that happy: since the plane’s started going around, the sky’s gotten a darker and darker shade of gray.
