Meanwhile, on the subject of Canada, in Toronto, city workers are due to go on strike at any moment. The Toronto Star discusses. This will mean no garbage collection, no parks, no ferries to the islands, to name a few.

You may already have won...
In other news, eek! a Toronto strike? I arrive on Sunday night and I'm going to be wading through garbage for three weeks? what a big stinkin' pain!
Re: You may already have won...
The strike was originally due to begin this past midnight, so on the bright side, they're still negotiating. On the down side, the news sources I've been looking at all sound pretty pessimistic about the possibility of avoiding the strike. MetroToday on Friday reported a handful of different groups of city employees being in effect told that the city was planning on a strike of circa two weeks. Surely, if it does happen, it won't go on for anywhere near as long as the provincial employees strike that recently ended did.
