The other day I heard rumours of a subway protest – i.e. a protest over the potential uploading of the responsibility for the TTC from the city to the province. On the 27th of March there was a “day of action” at 40 subway stations during the morning rush, starting at 7:30 a.m.

I couldn’t find anyone at Eglinton station (was I too early?) but there were 4 people handing out leaflets inside Bloor station. I also saw this guy with an OPSEU flag by Wellesley station.
So much for the idea of a blog post about this day of action. But it was a beautiful morning so I enjoyed the walk down Yonge street. I don’t often walk here that early and I was surprised how quiet it was. The light was also interesting.

below: This was the largest group of “protesters” that I saw. It was more of an information session than a protest, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
