"But the mood outside Tuesday morning was anything but conciliatory. Protesters branded Uber an outlaw that would drive them out of business. And when asked whether their fight rose to the seriousness of other causes that had employed hunger strikes – a tactic used by Mohandas Gandhi, anti-apartheid protesters and Irish republicans – one protester took direct aim at the mayor.
“John Tory is treating us as slaves,” said cabbie Krishna Pillai, who was supporting the protest but not himself fasting. “The mayor is supporting an illegal actor in this country.”
The men vowed to remain until their message has been heeded.
“We have tried other avenues, we have protested … so what is left for us?” said hunger striker Behrouz Khamseh. “You want to kill my industry? Kill me first. Let me starve over here.”"
Boy, these guys are really out to lunch (no pun intended).
