Last night, someone frustrated with the impending public transit strike here in Accordion City (slated to start at 4 a.m. Monday if this weekend’s negotiations fail) decided to do a little creative editing of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 leader Bob Kinnear’s entry in Wikipedia. Knowing the edit would be corrected in short order and wanting to preserve this for posterity, I took a screenshot of the page, which appears below:

For those of you who are extremely curious and have a little time to kill, here’s the history of edits to Bob Kinnear’s Wikipedia page.

  • LOL. Just a little frustrated!

    I don't get people whining about the uncertainty, though. Act as if the strike was 100% certainty. Get your telecommute, carpool or bike route sorted out, and assume that you will be executing on that contingency plan Monday and Tuesday regardless of what the TTC decides to do. It's not rocket science.

  • Thank You for saying EXACTLY what EVERY TORONTONIAN would like to say to Bob Kinnear right now. I couldn't possibly agree more. Such an asshole!
