Strike a bonanza for 12-year-old entrepreneur

For just two Canadian dollars, you too can walk a picket line

The great part about this is that the folks on the picket line don’t seem to care too much. I suppose if a little kid is making some money off of some “scabs,” then they deserve it.

And what precisely is this 12-year old doing?

Some employees stroll nonchalantly past the pickets, down Northwestern Avenue, cough up some cash, deke through Todd’s yard, and, presto, they arrive at work on time.

Todd provides impatient labour refugees with safe passage to their office towers.

Just slip the kid two bucks, and one of his friends will escort you around the house, down the side yard, and through the backyard gate – quicker than you can say Reg Alcock.

Now I don’t know who Reg Alcock is, and I sure don’t know what “deke” means, but I do know that somehow this guy has found a way to make a buck.

Is there a free market lesson embedded here? I’m not saying, but I think we can figure that one out for ourselves.
