From the pics of crowds I've seen, I'd be staying at least a few blocks away from the parade route or any of the approved congregation areas (especially on a bike). I expected a decent turnout, but holy crap.Told Wesley is shut down. 45 min walk from there to Wellington. Any chance a MC will get thru?
Just another good reason not to live in Toronto.So far, only a few idiots in the crowd (four stabbed, one shot, streetcar wires knocked down by people climbing the poles). Statistically, given the number of people that are congregated, that seems quite low. Good job Toronto.
Why do people litter at these parades ? Looking at the aftermath on the news. Feel sorry for whoever has to clean that up.
I'd say a lot could be contributed to people fleeing the scene unexpectedly.Why do people litter at these parades ? Looking at the aftermath on the news. Feel sorry for whoever has to clean that up.
Toronto is not the problem, people are the problem. Put the same 2 million people in Waterloo and you think things would be different?Just another good reason not to live in Toronto.
People litter. Put 2 million in a relatively small area and you’ve now seen the results. It’s disgusting but when I see what people leave behind in the washroom at work nothing surprises. As for the cleanup I’m guessing some city workers can make a lot of overtime $

Part of it comes down to logistics. You can only have so many garbage cans around and when people are in a mob, they can't access a can. Any cans that do exist quickly fill beyond capacity. If dumpsters were installed, they would have been instantly used as an elevated platform for spectating.Why do people litter at these parades ? Looking at the aftermath on the news.

A cop friend said the lack of carding really made a significant difference in the number of hoodlums carrying guns. When carding existed they were concerned about getting caught, since then, how many times have you seen in the news that the victim returned fire? In my estimation, it's more than half the time when the victim was the intended target. Having a ton of armed idiots wandering around with no good way to stop them is never good.someone shooting a gun at the parade is just absolutely disappointing. Toronto is a great city, but when things like that happen, it's very demoralizing.
I get things like this are a 'big city problem', but there must be something that can be done that can curb this type of behaviour.
