I'm at the airport now - checked in and waiting to board. Flight is little delayed- due to light snow. Its beautiful to watch through the glass wall. As I walked by I happen to see a shocking this -"a black man is working as shoe polisher, see white men sitting on raised chair showing their legs to polisher." I felt humiliated - how could this happen in this 21st century - in a well developed country like canada - a nation of great respect for humanity. How could you stretch your leg to somebody while reading paper and they guy polishes your shoes...shame on you -whoever the people went for a polish. The guy work for somebody and he get only a small share of $7/idiot. I talked to the guy for a while to get an idea when he thinks about it. He is a former government employee/network admin got laid off. I told him I could find him a job right away I get back and gave my phone/email. Guy is a smart one. He said he wants to get to know of the people who work here so that he get an opportunity to start a business inside or land in a decent profession. The shoe polishing setup is quite funny - the one like in old days. Its like road side barber shop. People - can't you afford a new shoe or are you so lazy to polish your own shoes when going on a travel. If its dirty - who cares - just go the way it is. Good thing I didn't make a scene of having to fight to whoever comes for shoe polish. Atleast I am got over with the bad feeling but I am going to lodge a complaint to the authorities regarding this and I don't want to see this here when I come back. Or this is going to media!
