Tim Bonham asked "So then why should I be upset at both sides?" (in regards to the transit strike).
If your focus is to help the poor, you should push for increased services and lower fares. The most likely way to accomplish that is to increase government funding AND lower operational costs (most likely wages & benefits). If your focus is to end the strike -- even if fares increase and/or service decreases -- then it is appropriate to point the finger at the Met Council. I believe only one focus will help the poor.
