News item from Google news: Ottawa taxi drivers plan to blockade city bus depots.
Oh really? You jackasses really believe that this is the way to gain support at Ottawa city hall?
OK, they now claim that it’s just a rumor. I am not convinced.
@BlueLineTaxiOtt @MGraham7 @ctvottawa good to hear. Would really erode public goodwill towards your industry

I hope your industry dies, like, yesterday.
Not long ago, I was committed to using regular taxis (on the rare occasions I needed one) and not rely on untested, unproven, new services like Uber.
It was the taxi industry and their thuggish reaction to Uber’s disruptive technology that convinced me otherwise.
Thugs have no place on our city’s streets. Not even when they are masquerading as licensed taxi drivers.
Perhaps if, instead of acting like a criminal gang, you had focused on making your cars cleaner, your service more reliable, your drivers better dressed and better behaved, most of us would still remain committed to your service.
