Mike Pitre, owner of Carleton Ford, has published this video in which he offers to transfer ownership of one of his cars to any charitable organizations that needs help with transportation during the Ottawa bus strike. Better yet, he challenges other business owners to pitch in and help the people who need it the most.

I love this idea and the willingness to help out. I wish it did something more to help move people at a reasonable pace. If people would amp up their carpooling efforts, moving about the city wouldn’t take a couple of hours.
By the way, councillor Clive Doucet was handing out free hot chocolate to bus-strike-weary pedestrians as they passed by Bank and Third, yesterday. What a great way to perk up someone’s day as they trudged through the heavy snowfall.
What are you doing to help out during the strike?
