Priorities

Very early this past Monday morning a Toronto Transit Commission worker was killed and 2 others injured while performing maintenance in a subway tunnel. This happened prior to the early morning commute, so a good portion of the system was closed off for investigation. As you can imagine this made getting to work somewhat difficult for a lot of people – difficult, but in no way impossible.

On Tuesday morning the front pages of all 3 Toronto papers featured large headlines and even larger photo spreads of “stranded” commuters caught in the “snarl” and “inconvenience” of the situation.

And not a single headline about the man who was killed.

A man lost his life.
What the fuck have we come to?
