picket lines at night?
What's the situation like in the evening? I've got a class tomorrow night and would like to know what to expect. Thanks!

I over heard people complaining on Mon that they were delayed an hour (for a 5:30 class).

After the SRA meeting on Sunday we got out at 4am. I honestly recall seeing the protesters still there, but I was tired enough that I could be wrong. Or maybe they got there that early to delay the shipping trucks?

I'm not sure about 4 am, but I can attest to the fact that they are there and set up at 6 am every day so far. I'm in Bates and can see the Cootes blockade from my window. |

I never really saw them picketing, so where are they doing it? I go from the current GO bus stop right to class, or the libraries, and back to the stop, so I haven't seen any...

They blockade the ramp from cootes that goes right up beside Mary Keyes residence. You should be able to see it from the Go Bus terminal. |

Where are the current GO bus stops? I have to take the one that goes to Aldershot/Burlington on Thursday and have a general idea as to where they are, but I'm not 100% sure. |

There are so many other things those police officers could be doing.. What a waste.
