"But the people at the airport got exactly what they wanted because they contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Liberal Party of Ontario," says Prue. "We all know it's true. We've seen it in newspapers. We've seem people bragging about it. The people of Toronto aren't going to put up with the unfairness to the cab drivers who are our best ambassadors."

Prue asked Watson why he was doing this.

"He gave me the same stupid, tired answer," says Prue. "That it's not fair for a limousine driver to drive someone downtown and then waste all the gas driving back (without a fare)."

So Prue asked Watson about cab drivers who take someone to the airport and waste gas driving all the way back to Toronto for nothing.

"He stupidly, stupidly answered that every cab driver can stay at the airport and pick up a fare provided they have somebody who's asked for it and pay ten dollars," says Prue. "When are the limousine drivers going to start paying ten dollars and he doesn't have an answer for that."

But the airport limousine industry is a strong lobby group with close connections to (Liberal) politicians so they get what they want, say taxi drivers.

 

Gotta grease palms of the party fat-cats if you want work in Liberal Ontariariario.

I like Prue - smart and looking out for workers, particularly the lowest paid workers.
