“Don’t look at me like I ordered this weather.”

That’s one of the rally organizers under the arches of the legislative building at Queen’s Park where dozens of people, including injured workers, union members and politicians, have taken refuge from the raging thunderstorm that struck Toronto around noon Thursday. The timing of the storm couldn’t be worse. In less than thirty minutes, the Ontario Federation of Labour’s (OFL) Drive to Work caravan, a 3,000-km province-wide tour  to draw attention to the recession’s effects on Ontario people, is due to arrive at Queen’s Park, followed by a meeting with representatives of the Ontario government.
