Mum's taxi

You know those silly car stickers that say "mum's taxi"?  Well that was me today.  Kids activities plus Action Boy's school concert had me sitting in the car pretty much all day.  It was worth it though - the concert was so cute and I melted with pride!  Poor little guy was so nervous but did an excellent job and tried so hard.  They even sang in French!  So amazing...

In all that driving and waiting I listen attentively to my best Canadian friend - the CBC!  While nothing can top Aunty, the CBC is pretty good and is a great way to stay connected to what's happening.  At the moment though it really is all about the student strike impasse.  It seems nothing else is happening in Montreal at the moment.  The protests happen constantly through out the city - day and night.  The politicians are of course blaming each other.  The Education Minister is refusing to negotiate with one of the student unions because they are blamed for the violence.  Universities and colleges are cancelling the academic year so some students will have to repeat.  The Mayor has had enough but it seems that both sides are more stubborn than a three year old having a melt down.

Even the students from the Conservatory were at it this morning and there is a massive march planned tonight.  This is all so crazy and I can't believe it has gone on for so long!
