In an attempt to deal with the dual issue of parents being stuck at home due to city daycare workers being on strike, and trash piling up around the city due to garbagemen being on strike, the City of Toronto has announced an innovative new ‘take your kids to pick up garbage day’ for this coming Monday. However, David Miller did remind Toronto citizens looking to capitalize on this opportunity that there really wasn’t anywhere for them to take the garbage they might pick up, thus his team would be following the kids and parents around to give them $10,000 fines if the garbage is placed anywhere other than their garages. When told that most people don’t have garages in this city, and many don’t even have yards, he noted the alternative option of parents just taking some of their 18 sick days, and whatever else they’ve banked over the years, to stay home for the duration of the strike. When reminded that the only people living on Toronto that have that option are those currently on strike, he reminded us “that’s why we created take your kid to pick up garbage’ day”, before fining a reporter $380 when a wrapper fell out of his pocket.
