What’s this?
I’m sure you’ll get it. Then you could win the prize, which is… an end to the bus strike!!!
Don’t send your entries to me. Send them to Mayor Larry O’Brien, c/o city hall, and to André Cornellier, c/o Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279. Mention that you want the goddamn strike over with, and you want it over with now.
Good luck!
Updated Jan.19: The contest is over. Nobody won. The strike is now declared permanent… get used to it!
It’s a snowboard in the window at Tommy & Lefebvre on Bank St.
Updated again Feb.2: The strike ended after a mere 51 days of transitless torture, no thanks to anybody guessing what that thing is. No thanks to anybody negotiating either. It just kind of… ended.

Even after looking at the EXIF data, I remain perplexed.
I will give it some more thought tomorrow.
I hope you get it Milan, or else the strike might never end.
I don’t know what it is either, but I’ve sent a very angry letter to my city councillor. I instantly received a form letter in return telling me that city council will be meeting “every week” until the dispute is resolve. I don’t know about you, but I’m enormously comforted by this.
Phew! Now if only they’d meet with the actual union that is on strike, not just with themselves.
No winner yet folks.
Looks like the union has thrown down the gauntlet and said what I think they said in week 2 – take out the scheduling and accept binding arbitration on the rest. The difference is now they say they’ll go back to work before the deal itself is signed…
Dunno what those damn spots are!!!! Get them out!!!
Fabric buttons. The union just rejected the city’s counter-offer.
At least they’re talking, sorta.
I think it’s somebody sitting on a metal bench with holes in the metal.
No winner.
… I still don’t know what it is.
Some kind of bumpy snowboard?
I don’t think it’s bumpy, I think it’s just painted to look bumpy. But I could be wrong. Maybe a snowboarding expert will write in and explain.
Gee. I can’t believe that I didn’t get that.
Me neither, Jay.
I shudda asked Jonathan…
Yes you shudda, because then the strike would have ended much sooner.
