As someone who has lived here for a few decades, this is really shocking. We've always had some violence here and there, but it seems to have escalated to the point where now we read the news to see if there wasn't some sort of new attack.
It's not just on the TTC (transit) but it does seem to be a focal point. An example not mentioned in the article: just as recently a guy got off a streetcar, charged at an elderly woman on the sidewalk and shoved her to the ground so hard it killed her. They didn't even know each other. It was just another "random event."
When "Toronto the Good" looks like this, it's time to take a temperature reading and act accordingly. The premiere has been far from helpful.
- VancouverMan 4y agoIt's not just Toronto. Economically, politically, and socially, Canada as a whole has been quite ill for some time now. The disastrous and tyrannical "public health" policies of the federal, provincial, and most municipal governments over the last three years have made the situation dramatically worse. Canada has only been coasting on past successes, and that momentum is certainly dissipating.
- algem 4y agowhat disastrous / tyrannical health policies are those?
- VancouverMan 4y agoPretty much all of them. It varied somewhat by region, but in Canada these policies typically included lengthy forced business shutdowns, severe education disruptions, delaying/cancelling medical procedures, curfews, forced masking, coerced and forced injections of unwanted substances, fearmongering by politicians and bureaucrats, violently suppressing peaceful protests, and so on. These policies resulted in major economic harm (business closures, job losses, supply chain disruption, significant inflation, etc.), as well as widespread social harm in many different ways.
