On Facebook, there is the unique feature of a person’s “status” which usually states what a person is either thinking or doing. Going through my friend’s status updates over the last 24 hours shows a real disdain for the TTC union’s strike (and I have a fairly liberal and progressive group of friends). Here is a listing on their feelings (the X’s have replaced their names for privacy reasons).\u00a0 Feel free to add other status updates that you’ve been amused by.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

XXXXXX says dont’ fear, TTC strike to be over by Monday morning.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX says fuck the ttc union. One hour’s notice? Privatize the TTC.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX says that a strike is the equivalent of a two year old holding their breath to get their way… GROW UP and GET YOUR ASSES BACK TO WORK! TTC sucks ass.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is looking for her bike helmet. And not because she wants to.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is afraid he’s got an affliction of Thatcherism when it comes to the TTC. Not healthy!<\/p>\n

XXXXXX thinks what we’ve gotta do now is create a society where no group of people have too much bargaining power — we gotta even it all out, y’know?<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is walking, much like the rest of Toronto.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX thinking it’s ironic her good news is TTC-related<\/p>\n

XXXXXX Woke up to discover that there’s a transit strike on. There’s gonna be a lot of angry people in Accordion City today.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is pro union… but not pro stupid union that leaves thousands without a way to get home at midnight with a one hour notice. What happened to 48 hours!?!<\/p>\n

XXXXXX detests the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX : OMG, TTC, WTF!?<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is having his union sympathies severely vexed by ATU 113.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX says boooo to the ttc tonight.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX has never been more grateful to be at home on a Friday night. Whew.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is not impressed with the TTC right now!<\/p>\n

XXXXXX says my heart goes out to you, stranded Toronto.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX says lets strike the TTC. Imagine how they would crumble if we all stopped using their system?<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is glad to be in a city where the transit system is functioning!!!!!<\/p>\n

XXXXXX thinks if they strike they should picket, that’s the deal.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX suggests that Kinnear is a grandstanding douchebag and his chickenshit Local 113 plays dirty pool at the expense of those who pay their way: us.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX sees parallels between a TTC-less Toronto and Don McKellar’s “Last Night.”<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is in NYC but had dreams about TTC strike. Wonder if that awful streetcar driver was already on strike yesterday morn.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is really glad he doesn’t rely on the TTC.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX is walking, thanks to the TTC. Walking is good.<\/p>\n

XXXXXX really hates the TTC!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
