Now tell us what you really think! The news today is that all members of council support the city's stand on the negotiations - not because they wish to break the unions - but because the city is taking a reasonable position and it can't afford to cave in. Except for the whiners at Christie Pits, the public has been very cooperative. The people running the temporary holding facilities are being courteous and cooperative. I had to go through some union pickets but the worst I got from them was cheering as I heaved a bag on top of the pile.
