rfmcdonaldWhen I disembarked from the Eglinton subway station to street level this morning, on at least two of the streetcorners, people dressed in the brown uniforms of UPS workers were holding papers high.
“Free National Post from UPS!” they cried in their own slightly different ways.
I took a copy on the southwestern streetcorner. How could I not resist free reading material?
Crossing the street north, I came upon another UPS worker in the middle of a crowd of a dozen people. “Free Natilonal Post!” he cried out.
No one took him up on his offer. After a moment, he just shrugged and moved on.
