No signs of picketing at the value park garage at 3am. They did have a sign there advising picketing in progress, guess it'll start later in the day.
Terminal 1 also looks clear. No delays experienced. Made it through security and US preclearance in 5 min.

Traffic moving again after striking Toronto Pearson ground crew workers block terminals
https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/0 ... affic.htmlthe traffic started backing up around 1 p.m. and it had gotten increasingly worse around 5 p.m.
He said the backup got so bad that some people got out of their cars and began walking on the road to the airport.
Pearson confirmed that the demonstrators left the airport and were no longer blocking the terminals.
