NXNE

I'm in Toronto for the NXNE music festival thanks to Dave H. I have no idea who any of the bands ae but it shuld be fun. Dave is covering events for the media.

I left a sunny Ottawa and arrived in TO just in time for a huge downpour with some wicked wind. There was a sad scene on the bus this morning. There was one seat left without a struggle next to an Asian gentleman. A black woman came on the bus and asked to sit there. He refused to remove his bag from the seat next to him. She was very polite but firm. Still he would not budge. The bus driver asked him and he refused. Another terminal employee also a black woman asked him to move the bag or get off the bus. He moved the bag but he sat in the aisle seat and refused to let the black woman get past him without a struggle.

No one got off until Scarborough and as soon as there was a free seat the man moved. Sad but true.

Now I am off to get some wine for Maria and beer for the rest.
