Orthodox Christmas is on January.
That retailer is being selfish, unless it paid the TTC handsomely.
The whole issue of excessive numbers of road closures in Toronto has got out of control. Every single weekend between March and November (and sometimes on weekdays in rush hour) there are events closing roads all over the place and almost all of these events detour TTC bus and streetcar service and/or GO bus service. It is time that John Tory and city council limit special events that close roads to a few times per year, ban marathons, expressway closures and similar events, and that strict measures be taken to minimize disruption (for example, banning them from closing main roads like DVP/Gardiner/Lake Shore and streetcar routes and banning them at the same time as subway construction closures).
I will not be shopping at Hudson's Bay this Christmas, attending TIFF or otherwise supporting the sponsors of these closures.
