Toronto Star writer Joe Fiorito seems to be able to capture the pulse of this city in his columns. His latest piece deals with ad-covered subway cars and the mandatory station announcements. A notable passage in his column:
Mr. Ducharme may be over a barrel; in order to do his job fully, he has to bring forward all the lame ideas brought to his attention, for the consideration of his masters. But when I told him that ad-wrapped trains cheapened the look of the system, and cheapened the look of the city, he said, “I don’t disagree with you.”
