Since returning to work a month ago, I am once again walking back and forth from Cabbagetown through to downtown daily. It’s a nice 30 minutes each way spent listening to podcasts or music.
For the last few weeks though, this walk is more like an Olympic event with all the hurdles I have to jump over. In my immediate neighborhood, Aberdeen Ave has certainly been mangled with all the holes dug up, the plastic pipes uncovered on the sidewalks, the hoses exposed and the asphalt and pebble badly covering pedestrians’ way:
Perfect for those powered-up wheelchairs.
Tim Horton’s garbage and other crap filling the holes.
Pretty long blue line.
Where snaky and safety meet.
Embellishing your property for the Summer.
3 more houses this way please.
Since the seal is broken on this one, let’s put it to use in the garden.
It’s also all over Ontario St:
How many more months?
And it also continues on Church St, etc. etc.
I’m really hoping the evaluators for the 2015 Pan Am games visiting Toronto this weekend didn’t get to see all these 3rd world looking streets. But then again, they were probably too busy avoiding that idiotic group called: NO GAMES TORONTO fronted by the most retarded spokesperson I’ve seen in years. Judging by the video I was able to find on CTV news’ website, (if you click the play button, you can see the whole segment on it, she appears 2 minutes into it), you can clearly see what I’m talking about. Why would a group get together to stop a worldwide event to our city that would help embellish it, fix it up, build it up and just bring it some attention it deserves? And why would you choose a spokesperson who’s already been made fun of so much by Kids In The Hall already?
The No Games Toronto Spokechick & Chicken Lady
I know what you’re trying to say, but she’s obviously blind and has that low-affect demeanour of long-term blind people. The governor of the state of New York also has it. They channel everything into the voice. And if they’re nervous, as in this case, that single channel gets disrupted.
It has nothing to do with blindness or near-blindness, but more with the apparent lack of passion and a very very very stupid cause. People that believe in a cause are a lot more animated and filled with passion, not only in their actions, but in their voices too.
They should be protesting against the people who abuse the welfare system and feel entitled not to work just because they have 10 babies from different baby fathers. Go picket their door! An event like the Pan Am games is a great reason for people to have pride in their city and pull it back from the dumps.
