What do you mean? It's an exhibit. It's a great way to get your photos seen by millions of people?

Another way to strip your civil liberties. They want you submit to them.

Why don't they post the pictures of the unionized TTC workers that make more than $100k per year? Have the bozos explain why they have to go on strike for more pay.

Also post the pictures of their supervisors for not getting more work for the unemployed therefore keeping the TTC overtime costs down.

Do not submit to this stoopid contest. Give the riders a free ride instead.

Sean - this is a photo exhibit. the fact that there are prizes are just a bonus. This is put on by an arts organization, not the TTC. Would you rather see ads than your own photos? What the f*ck.

Everyone is so disgruntled (to a degree myself included) about anything TTC-related these days. With a strike looming, the opposition to this contest is likely another result of the growing, predominant culture of transit haters (myself not included) in the city. Time for a shakeup, I think.

If the TTC goes on strike, no revenue.

The union workers should go to work but not collect fares. People could go to work/school etc., yet the city won't get $ regardless. At least the city business won't lose money this way.

Meanwhile, at a time critical of a looming transit strike, mayor Miller is schmoozing in a communist country - China. Since Toronto didn't get this Olympics, he should have stayed home in protest.

@ Sean.
Get a grip, who the hell cares if China is a Communist Nation.

They are an Economic super power and if
Toronto wants to remain a trading partner i think it is smart for the Mayor of Canada's largest City to visit.

There is no need for us to sit at home our thumb up our asses like sore losers
becuase we didnt get the games
