Jerktown
I've re-named Ottawa. Hereafter, it shall be known as Jerktown.
Did you know that in Jerktown taxis have stands outside government buildings and are reserved for government bigwigs - even during a bus strike when no other transportation is available for the people who pay government bigwig salaries but do not themselves work for the government (at a level high enough to take a "reserved for government bigwigs" taxi, at least)?
Oh, and did you know that the Mayor of Jerktown goes on trial in the spring?
Meanwhile, the car people of Jerktown have made no special accommodations for their carless co-citizens beyond blocking their paths as they try to cross at intersections, honking their horns in annoyance when we insist on our right to cross the street on green walk signals and my favourite (when we have puddles) splashing us carelessly as they drive by in an angry rush to stop at a red light.
I mean, you work for the government that the New Conservatives have pretty much completely fucked up and over to the point that it barely functions - what could possibly be your hurry?
