It was early '90's (90 - 95) and it wasn't "whatever". it was a big deal. Nobody who lived through that would want to replicate the experience. First time I ever saw mass demonstrations by Bay street - bankers etc marching on Queen's Park. Teachers having to work for free to balance the books (Rae Days) Unions pissed when the NDP realized that they couldn't afford to sustain their programmes. And now? Bob Rae is a Liberal - one of the few to hold onto his riding last night.
As for being told to leave the polling station... you shoulda told them where to go. At the very least tell them to call the police to make you leave.
