I don't know how well you can see this picture, it's kinda blurry, but it's clearly a guy with a distinctly middle-eastern beard (Oh no! He said Middle-Eastern! Duck and cover! (Geez grow up guys)). This seems to be an attempt by the TTC to be more accepting of all cultures, and reflecting that in it's advertising. I'm all for representing minorities (ok, by this point they're majorities) but I'm always amused when a company tries to be multicultural, and they end up having every culture represented except WASPS. It's great.
I wonder if some day we white people will be annoyed because we'd have become a minority and felt that we were being discriminated against. If this were to happen, and the race card was played, I would simply be tickled pink by that.
Anyway, here comes my [short] rant about the TTC (Torontonians, listen up, eh?): Why on earth is the TTC saying that it's committed to "customer service and excellence" when their chair, who was up for the mayoral race, just admitted to having multiple (what was it, 15 or 30 of them?) affairs? How can you trust someone to run a service who has this type of problem / history? Seriously guys, time for a major overhaul of the Toronto Transit Commission.
All of that said, I do love the TTC. Take it every day. ;)
