How is this bill going to bankrupt 22,000 quebec families when there’s only 8800 permits in the province? Lets not forget that a bunch (I don’t know how many) are owned by companies/investors and simply rented by taxi drivers.

That’s how the CAQ is positioning it, too – all you cabbies who rent your medallion will have 12 grand more in your pocket at the end of the year. We’ll have to wait and see I guess.
@Kate this was getting covered on the radio all day yesterday, kind of a ply-by-play so people would know where the ding dongs were “rallying public sympathy” or whatever they thought that would do… but it was at least on the cbc website (I didn’t check any others) and very present on many channels on twitter.

Le Devoir covered yesterday’s slow-down and today’s actions as well, noting that today an alliance of disabled transit users are also speaking out as the new law does not ensure access to accessible taxis.
@Ian: “Ding dongs”, really?
