In Toronto’s forgettable election, have you considered not voting? A young person tells me this is the first election in which they’ve had “zero interest in voting.” If issues are lacking, maybe that should be one. Opinion by Rick Salutin
quit to “rebalance” their lives and spend more time with their kids. Go on, dare criticize that!
But why’s it a choice? Don’t both matter? Rebalancing doesn’t mean quitting — it means rebalancing. For her latest film, director Sarah Polley insisted on being able to put her kids to bed every night. So the unions agreed to 10-hour days. It didn’t always work, but mostly it did. You’re a parent and a citizen, balance those! And I think it’s good for your kids to know that you care about themyou care about your community. Each reinforces the other. So struggle with it.
No one then objected. They moved on to turning parking lots into parkettes. Jeez. I may not vote myself this time. Toronto Mayor John Tory didn’t consider appealing. He’s been a scaredy-cat since at least the time he was a provincial party leader and blew certain victory by backing funding for Catholic schools. But former mayor David Miller also embraced mini-politics, and even John Sewell, way back, opposed patios being open after dark in the Annex. Too noisy.
Returning to the office gets treated mostly as a “cultural” matter, argued between the old guard who like going to work and hanging around the water cooler and young free spirits. Or the tech-savvy who can live online and those who can’t. Or just the freedom zealots versus whoever they feel stifled by.
But what about the actual services? Why do people line up for miles outside Service Canada and Service Ontario offices? Because when you phone in, some newbie looks at a script and, if befuddled, simply makes something up. If they try to get a supervisor on the phone, they often can’t. But if you’re in an actual office, they say “just a minute” and you see them go over to an amiable veteran and get advice based on experience. This is how knowledge is transferred in the workplace: in person.
