Letter: Transit manners as brutal as the Lions

The Canada Line

The Editor,

On the way to the Lions game last night, we noticed several things on the Canada Line trip: young people occupying the senior/handicapped reserved seats. It was a crowded train, and an elderly man with a cane stood while the young ones sat motionless. Occasional glances occurred. Across the car was a pregnant lady who also had to stand while the kids sat. When we suggested to them this was not right we got the “...don’t get involved look.” At 71 years, I won’t.

We ride the train a lot and the majority of the time we have to ask the kids for our seats; they rarely offer. The response is always the same — ah...jeeze.

Oh yeah, the game... although it was the worst game we, as season ticket holders for a million years, have been to, it did have its moments.

We noticed that the Lions defense and the CFL officials played to the same level...brutal.
