Toronto cabbies have paralyzed some downtown streets in an anti-UBER protest. Expect this to continue all day and things have gotten a lot stranger as the day has gone on.

CityNews caught this on camera earlier today!

The routes planned are:

  • From Woodbine Centre: South on Highway 27, east on the Gardiner Expressway, north on University
  • From Centrepoint Mall: South on Yonge, west on King Street, north on University
  • From Food Basics: South on Victoria Park, onto Highway 401, south on the DVP to the Gardiner, through Jarvis Street and Richmond Street to University.
  • From Queens Quay and Yonge: West on Queens Quay, north on York Street or west on Queens Quay, north on Yonge, west on LakeShore Boulevard West, around Bathurst Street to the Billy Bishop airport, then back up to Adelaide Street to University.

“While the TTA supports the aim of the demonstration, which is to encourage the City of Toronto to enforce the law with Uber’s illegal operations, it does not support any tactic which will disrupt traffic or transportation for Toronto drivers and residents.”
