Montreal could be a mess on Wednesday.
There's word Montreal’s taxi industry plans to strike that day, holding two rallies to protest the Quebec government's recent deal with Uber.
Among other things, strike organizers want a meeting with Premier Philippe Couillard.
Cabbies argue the arrival of the ride-hailing service creates a two-tier system favouring Uber, which can now operate another year thanks to a pilot project.
Since the agreement was reached taxi drivers have launched two court challenges in an attempt to have it blocked.
They were denied injunctions granting an immediate ban, but hearings will take place in January.
In the agreement, Uber agreed to restrict its driver to 50,000 hours of fares per week, the equivalent of 300 taxi drivers.
During those hours, drivers will have to pay 90 cents per fare as a tax to the province.
Should drivers exceed that number, the tax will go up to $1.10 per fare for the next 50,000 hours, after which it will be raised again, to $1.26.
