Toronto and Windsor -- things are actually pretty good

These are two Ontario cities with municipal workers strikes.

Essential services -- police, fire and the like -- are running but everything else isn't.

What is surprising isn't how bad things are but rather how good they are. I expected Toronto to fall to pieces -- remember, this is a town that called in the army for a big snow storm.

And yes, it's very inconvenient to be near a temporary dump site. But the truth is, if private garbage pick up was allowed (and in Toronto the city, for reasons unclear, is battling anyone who seeks to make a summer job and pick up trash for cash) the strike would be almost invisible.

Maybe we don't really need City Hall at all?
